Replacing The Waste Container - Stratasys Objet500 User Manual

Objet500 User Guide
Replacing the
Printer waste contains partially cured polymeric material, collected during
Waste
normal operation and maintenance of the printer. For safety and
Container
environmental reasons, this material is kept in a special leak-proof, disposable
container.
The container has a capacity of 10 kilograms of waste material—usually
enough for several months of printer use. The printer application displays a
warning message when there are 9 kilograms of material in the container,
and stops the printing when the net weight reaches 9.5 kilograms. Above 9
kilograms, the software does not allow you to start a printing job or activity
until you replace the waste container. You can monitor the weight of the
waste container in the Maintenance screen of the printer interface. You can
also visually inspect the level of waste in the container. To access it, see page
6-84.
To monitor the waste weight (and other indicators) in the printer:
➢ In the main printer interface screen, click the display toggle to view the
