Appendix B – Olivetti 3D DESK printer care and maintenance

Cleaning the printing table

At the end of printing, and after having removed the printed piece, you are advised to clean the printing table,
eliminating residues of hairspray or plastic that could still be present.
To clean the table you should use normal ethyl alcohol for household use (also known as "ethanol"), and a soft
dry cloth.
Alternatively, you can clean the surface removing the glass from the printer. To do this, follow these steps:
•
lower the plate, using the following sequence: press the jog dialer, rotate counterclockwise and select
"Prepare"; rotate counterclockwise and select "Move axis"; rotate counterclockwise and select "Move 1
mm". Turn back counterclockwise and select "Move Z". Rotate counterclockwise until it reaches a value of
approximately +100, then press the jog dialer to confirm your choice
•
when the printing bed has finished moving, remove the four clips, pressing lightly on the metal fins.
•
remove the glass plate
•
clean the upper side of the glass by rinsing it with warm water.
•
at the end, wipe with a soft cloth and reload the plate into the printer, fixing it with the four clips
CAREFUL NOT TO TURN THE PLATE (ON THE BOTTOM SIDE THERE'S A PROTECTION FILM DO NOT
REMOVE)
NOTE: The printing table is made of 5 mm thick tempered glass; it is a safety, temperature-resistant, glass.
However, when handling the glass you should pay maximum attention as it is very fragile. Use exclusively
the glass provided with the machine.

Lubricating the axes and spindle nut

The linear guides are lubricated by the grease present in the recirculating ball slides.
The bearings can be injected with lithium-based machine grease through the hole on the slide side. This allows
the grease to penetrate inside the ball recirculation chamber lubricating both the slide and the bar. You should
also spread a little grease on the recesses at the sides of the guide using a dry clean cloth.
The spindle nut operates on a recirculating ball screw which guarantees long resistance over time. To reduce
noise levels and improve operating smoothness, use a dry clean cloth to apply a little grease to the spindle nut.
WARNING: Use exclusively lithium-based grease. Solid lubricants, such as those based on
molybdenum sulphide, must not be used.
