The maintenance and the required interventions are carried out by the mechanical maintenance technician who must operate in compliance with the safety instructions contained in this manual. ATTENTION: The maintenance operations must be carried out by disconnecting the printer from the power source by unplugging the power plug.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.2.5. Sliders Check backlash Check that the arm sliders do not have any backlash between them and the sliding aisle, if it is present, contact the manufacturer 7.2.6. Extruder Cleaning In the event that the extruder is clogged, it is possible to clean it using the appropriate cleaning kit. To clean the extruder consult the material on the website www.3dwasp.com or, for additional informations, contact our support at support@3dwasp.com.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.2.8. Print bed cleaning The bed could be cleaned with the machine switched off. It is necessary in cases of: • Flatness compromised • Dirt that prevents adhesion during printing • Aesthetic necessity To carry out this operation it is necessary to remove the top by unscrewing the three screws indicated in figure 7.2.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.3. Extraordinary maintenance ATTENTION: Extraordinary maintenance operations must be carried out by the Manufacturer’s Technicians or by maintenance personnel who have been instructed and authorized by the Manufacturer. Any of these operations not carried out by a manufacturer’s technician can cause irreversible damage to the machine or its parts and therefore would null and void the warranty.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.3.1. Cartridge removal The cartridge change is a mechanical operation that allows you to change the cartridge with another in the same extruder. Thanks to the cartridge’s change it is possible to characterize the extruder with nozzles of different diameters and rods for high temperatures.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.3.2. REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE WITH ZEN EXTRUDER • With the extruder correctly connected, turn the machine on. • Bring the extruder to the loaded material’s minimum print temperature (eg PLA 180 - ABS 220 ° C) and wait a few seconds •...
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.3.3. Manual leveling Manual leveling is a command that allows you to adjust the planarity of the aluminum bed. Based on the three-point principle, the machine moves the tool to the vertices of an equilateral triangle proportional to the aluminum bed.
Ordinary and extraordinary maintanance 7.3.5.

Use of the printer 8.3. Zen extruder calibration The Zen extruder is composed of two extrusion modules to allow multi-color and multi-material prints. It could happen that the two extruders are not calibrated to each other. In the case of the Zen extruder, calibration requires, in addition to the normal calibration (plane leveling and height modification), an offset setting procedure between the two tilting nozzles.

Use of the printer 8.4. Load filament To load the filament proceed as follows: 1. Place the spool on its support. In case of a single extruder use the left support. 2. Lead the filament inside the machine making sure to pass it through the end-filament sensor. 3.
Use of the printer 8.5. Load .gcode In the WASP 4.0 line the gcode can be loaded in two ways: • Using a USB pendrive • Using the Wi-fi module 8.5.1. Loading with pendrive USB 1. Correctly save the file in .gcode format on the pendrive.
Use of the printer 8.6. Continuous printing Continuous printing is an option to print in sequence with the two nozzles. The printing starts with the left extruder and as soon as the end-filament sensor of the first nozzle realizes that it is without material, it switches the second nozzle which continues processing, conserving temperatures and settings.
Use of the printer 8.8. Manual extrusion Manual extrusion is an operation that is carried out when the machine is stopped, to verify that the plastic outlet is homogeneous. To do this it is necessary to take the nozzle to the print temperature of the plastic you are working with. The procedure is this: 1.
Use of the printer 8.9. Free zeta system The Free Zeta system is a useful command to resume interrupted prints and for any reason it was not possible to recover with the Resurrection system. It is based on the principle of restarting to print a chosen gcode from a certain height onwards, so that the first layer of the new print adheres to the last printed layer.
Use of the printer 8.11. Change Core The Multi-core system is a system that simplifies the configuration and use of different types of extruders on the same machine. Among the advantages it brings there are: • Compatibility with Spitfire, Zen and Flex extruders •...
Use of the printer 8.12. Resurrection system The Resurrection system is a command for the automatic recovery of the print jobs interrupted by a sudden switch-off during processing. The system is designed in particular for: Blackouts and sudden power failures during printing Accidental removal of the power cord during printing In addition, it should be considered that in the time span between turning off the machine and launching the “Resurrection”...
