Page 3: Preface
09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide Preface Troubleshooting Z Corporation‘s line of 3D printer can sometimes be a frustrating, complex and tedious process but it doesn’t have to be this way. Often a technician goes into a situation with blinders on, focusing on one problem and jumping to conclusions that have fixed other machines. Every encounter with an error or problem should start the same way. There are a few simple steps and processes that can help you to narrow down the problem you are facing and get you the help you need quickly and efficiently. In the Preface section Troubleshooting 101 you will find a list of steps that you should perform EVERY time you encounter a problem on one of Z Corporations line of 3D printers and in the Preface section Getting Help from ZCentral 101 you will find a checklist of items that the ZCentral Dept. needs in order to help you more efficiently and effectively. Remember that ZCentral is there to be your second support option and provide you with the help that you need but can only do so with the proper information. Troubleshooting 101: 1. Understand the problem at hand! (example: Printer Won’t Boot= Not very descriptive. Printer Won’t Boot= I turn the printer on and do not get any lights or readout on the monitor plugged into the machine) is much more descriptive. 2. Check to make sure that the customer is following proper storage procedures for consumables and that their products are not expired. 3. Clean the machine thoroughly! This includes all parts of the service station, axis rails, pulley teeth and top deck. Remove any debris build up at the ends of travel, on the axis rail and even on axis rail supports. 4. Perform a quick inspection of the machine, remove side panels and covers, lubricate the machine and re‐tension all belts. During the inspection you should be looking for any signs of leaks, loose screws or nuts and worn parts. Badly worn items should be replaced during this service visit, screws and covers need to be tightened and leaks should be fixed immediately. 5. Turn the machine off and move the carriage and fast axis to the middle of the build bed and re‐boot the machine. It is very important that you watch, study and become familiar with the boot process of the Z Corp 3D printer you are working on. Many problems can be identified and possibly solved by simply performing these 5 steps ... - Page 4 09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide experiencing(example: repeated 1006 Head Too Hot errors with a head will lead to 40800 Head Check Failed or other errors). With the same points in mind, a clear print head with over 1000ml on it or a color print head with over 500ml of binder through it may start to experience 1006 Head Too Hot errors which are normal. If you haven’t found the problem you were looking for by now you are actually just getting ready to start the troubleshooting process. Change one part at a time. We are trying to find the root cause of an issue not only to help this customer but to make our equipment better. If that part does not fix the problem then it needs to be removed and placed back into your spares kit or sent back to Z Corp. Getting Help from ZCentral 101: Having the below information ready for the ZCentral team WILL make your initial information inquiry more fruitful and help you to get your customer up and running in the least amount of time. 1. Serial Number 2. Customer Name 3. Log File (Service Menu> View Printer Log: Save As) 4. .INI File (Service Menu> Edit .INI File: Save As) 5. .CSV File(Z450 and Z650: Service Menu> Receive File: Type spread.csv) 6. Head Report Information 7. Binder/Powder Type 8. Binder/Powder Expiration 9. EXACT Error Code/ Description of Problem a. Understand and be descriptive of the problem at hand. (Remember example: Printer Won’t Boot= Not very descriptive. Printer Won’t Boot= I turn the printer on and do not get any lights or readout on the monitor plugged into the machine) b. What’s changed? If you have recently replaced an EBox, Fast Axis or any other part and are now having a different problem or even the same ...

Page 63: Appendix B: Understanding And Troubleshooting The Zprinter 650 Load Cell
09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide Appendix B: Understanding and troubleshooting the ZPrinter 650 Load Cell Important Note: Feeders with powder in them can weigh in excess of 50LBS. Careful when removing! The ZPrinter650 uses a load cell to measure the weight of the powder. The Load Cell is basically a scale. The feeder sits on 4 metal slats so that the center of gravity pushes the feeder down against the load cell. - Page 64 09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide 1. Press the “x” key to bring up the 2.

- Page 66 09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide Note that when using ZMonitor the numbers are not always aligned well with the names: Filt = 5234703 % = 90.34 LBS = 110.75 >5% = 0. Filt: This is the filtered read out from the load cell in ticks. Approximately 37,000 ticks is 1LB.
- Page 67 09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide To check the offset 1. Completely empty the Feeder of powder. 2. Read the load cell LBS. The LBS reading should be between -1LBS and 1LBS. If the offset is outside of the limits than the load cell was most likely damaged during shipping and needs to be replaced.
- Page 68 09915 ZPrinter 650 Troubleshooting Guide 5. Read the load cell LBS. The weight should drop by between 3.0 and 3.7 LBS from the reading in step 4. This is the weight of the filter cleaner. If the load cell slope is off it is possible that something is interfering with the feeder. Make sure the gantry is not touching the feeder.
