Changing Tips Or Material Type; Using The Tip Change Wizard - Stratasys Fortus 380mc Operation And Maintenance Manual

CHANGING TIPS OR MATERIAL TYPE

The information within this section is meant to guide you through the process of changing materials and tips.
The Tips page includes a Tip Change Wizard designed to streamline the process of changing the printer's
model and/or support materials and tips.
Whenever the printer's material type is changed, tips must also be changed. The Tip Change Wizard contains a
step which will instruct you to change tips when necessary.
After changing one or both tips and exiting the wizard, you must manually adjust tip wipe heights to ensure
proper placement of the printer's flicker/brush assemblies in relation to tips/tip shields. The final page of the
wizard will prompt you to perform this adjustment.

USING THE TIP CHANGE WIZARD

The following example will walk you through the process of switching from ULTEM model (T16 tip) and ULTEM
support (T16 tip) material to ABS-M30 model (T16 tip) and SR-30 support (T12 tip) material, to help familiarize
you with the functionality of the Tip Change Wizard. As you navigate through this example, observe the state of
the icons within the Dashboard. Throughout the wizard, three buttons are displayed at the bottom of the screen
in place of the Navigation Bar, which is hidden when working within the wizard. These buttons have the following
