Replacing the sifter mesh

Clumps of nylon can accumulate in the mesh screen below the collection grate, eventually
preventing reclaimed powder from passing through to be collected. Formlabs recommends
replacing the sifter mesh after every 200 hours of use.
To remove and replace the sifter mesh:
1. Remove the collection grate to gain access to the sifter mesh beneath.
2. Turn the turnbuckles to release the sifter mesh.
3. Place the new sifter mesh within the Fuse Sift and refasten all the turnbuckles.
4. Place the sifter grate back over the sifter mesh.
