Attaching An Fdm Head - Stratasys FDM 2000 Manual

F2/3/8000-22
Attaching an FDM Head to the FDM 2000/3000/8000
1) Make sure both draw latches are hanging freely on the FDM head.
2) With the FDM head positioned as indicated in the illustration on page
F2/3000-20, line up and drop into place the FDM head's upper hinges with
the lower hinges of the back plate.
3) Reattach the FDM head to the back plate and carriage:
a) Swing the FDM head to the left until it touches the back plate.
b) Line up the FDM head so the dowel pin on the top of the FDM
head fits in its corresponding hole on the bottom of the carriage.
c) Latch the left and right draw latches to the carriage.
4) Using caution and making sure the pins line-up, connect the screw-on
cable connection to the side of the FDM head
5) Turn on the power to the FDM by pressing the white "l" button on the upper
right corner of the FDM . If the power is already on, turn it off and then back
on so the temperature controllers can reset themselves.
6) Check the liquefier temperature control to make sure it is running in auto-
matic mode (the red light on the "Auto/Man" button should be off.) If the
red light is on, press the "Auto/Man" button twice to turn it off. Call
Stratasys Customer Support for further instructions.
