Gecko Plate Prep And Use - Filament Innovations BFP-ICARUS Series Operating Manual

General debris, such as filament pieces, should be cleaned from the
machine weekly, as well as checking the belts and pulleys for any debris and
removing them.

GECKO Plate Prep and Use

Your GECKO plate has a consumable skin coating that is good for roughly
300 prints before it needs to be replaced. This removable plate allows for easy
print removal as you can take it out of the machine, flex it, and the print will come
off. You should ONLY clean your plate with 91% or higher Isopropyl Rubbing
Alcohol - ANYTHING ELSE will cause prints not to stick. A quick cleaning of the
plate should occur before every use. A simple paper towel and a few drops of
rubbing alcohol will do the trick. You can find this locally at drug stores or general
stores for a few dollars. More information on maintaining your GECKO plate and
