Page 28: Printing Techniques
Printing Techniques 1. Ensure accurate nozzle height. Nozzle height value too low will cause warping, too high will crash nozzle to platform causing damage and clogging. It is possible to manually fine tune nozzle height value at "maintenance" and "print preview" panels. User could try to adjust the nozzle height value plus or minus 0.1 - 0.2mm base on previous results. - Page 29 Maintenance Remove the nozzle. After a long time of printing, the nozzle could become very dirty or even clogged. We can replace it with a new one while the old one could be cleaned and reused. Nozzle Wrench 1. Use "Withdraw" function in the maintenance panel, nozzle will heat up to printing temperature.
