2. Remove the part from the machine.
• Open the oven door.
• Remove the build sheet from the platen.
• Carefully peel the part off of the build sheet. If the part does not peel easily,
use the metal scraper included in your Startup Kit to carefully pry off the part.
CAUTION:
Note: The build sheet is intended to be discarded after one part build. DO NOT
FLIP OVER A USED BUILD SHEET TO PLACE ON THE MODELING TABLE.
Any material residue on the sheet could adhere to the modeling table or
clog or interfere with the vacuum.
3. After removing the part, press ESCAPE to return to the Main Menu.
• The Build Job screen allows you to repeat the last job or start a new job.

4. If you'd like to remove the supports at this time, see the next two headings.

Manually Removing Support Material

PC material only uses break-away supports, called BASS, which need to be removed
manually. Wearing safety gloves, carefully peel the part off of the build sheet. If the
part does not peel easily, use the plastic scraper included in your Startup Kit to pry the
part off of the build sheet.
Carefully remove the support material. The support material should break away fairly
easily. If necessary, use a needle nose pliers, probes, Exacto knife, or a pick to
remove the supports, especially for sections of the part that are fragile or thin.

Removing Supports from a PPSF Part

See the PPSF Materials User Guide in the Appendix on page 4-1.

Removing WaterWorks Support Material

WaterWorks is used with ABS and PC-ABS material. After building a part, you can
remove supports using a solution of water and WaterWorks soluble support material
along with either an Ultrasonic or Circulation tank. After the tank is prepared, the part
is placed into the tank with the correct amount of concentrate added to it, and the tank
is set to the correct temperature.
For more information on WaterWorks, refer to the WaterWorks User Guide located on
Stratasys' Customer Extranet.
Surfaces in the build chamber will be very hot. Wear safety
gloves and sleeves when inside the oven.
