Plate Prep and Use

The print plate surface has a powder coated surface
which makes it extremely durable; however, the print
plate is classified as a consumable item and is good for
approximately 300 prints before it needs to be replaced.
Prints are easily removed when the plate reaches room
temperature and is cooled down.
A quick cleaning of the plate should occur before every
print using 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol using a spray
bottle.
CAUTION:
NEVER remove, bend, or flex a print plate while it is HOT! Failure to do so
could burn your hands, damage the print, and damage the plate.
ONLY clean the plate with 91% or higher isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
Failure to do so could cause prints not to stick and damage the plate.
Do NOT apply the rubbing alcohol with a towel or cloth. If you drag the
towel across the plate, the textured surface will break the towel down
and remnants will be stuck to the bed. Use a spray bottle to apply it
and let it dry.
Maintenance Macro
A macro is included on the machine in order to grease the ballscrews
and oil the rails on the x, y, and z axes. Follow the on-screen instructions
