Replacing the Laser Window

Once the laser window and print chamber have been cleaned, you
must reinstall the laser window .
1 . Remove the red laser window baffle plug.
2 . Insert the laser window into the recess at the top of the print
chamber with the warning label facing slightly to the left . This
will be so that when you tighten it, the label will be facing
forwards .
3 . Rotate the laser clockwise ¼-turn to tighten it into the print
chamber .

Cleaning the IR Sensor

1 . Place a small amount of ethanol on an SLS IR sensor cleaning swab (part #4100-01431) .
2 . Use the wet swab to clean the head of the IR sensor by gently touching the IR sensor head with the tip of the wet swab and rotating
the swab .
3 . Use a dry swab to dry the IR sensor head by gently touching the IR sensor head with the tip of the dry swab and rotating the swab .

Cleaning the Black Body

A clean black body will have a dark matte finish. It is important to inspect the black body at least 3 times a week or after 40 hours of
print time and clean, if needed . Powder deposit on a black body surface can permanently change the surface if the powder sinters on
the surface of the black body .
1 . Gently vacuum the black body without touching its surface .
2 . Place a small amount of ethanol on an SLS IR sensor cleaning swab (part #4100-01431) .
3 . Gently rub the swab in a back-and-forth motion to clean the black body .
4 . Use a dry swab to dry the black body . Repeat until clean .

Cleaning the Exhaust Port

To clean the exhaust port inside the print chamber, use a non-ignition
vacuum cleaner to remove any debris that has accumulated .
