Cleaning The Outside Of The Nozzle - Cubicon Style Plus-A15 Series User Manual

secondary pollution due to the use of the nozzle management pin, remove the filament that is
adhered to the nozzle management pin time to time during its use.
​
*​ S ince the nozzle management pin is used while the nozzle is hot, the tip of the nozzle
management pin is highly heated. Be cautious not to get a burn.
* Be careful during the use of the nozzle management pin until it can be used smoothly by
acquiring sufficient experiences.
Since the improper use of the nozzle management pin can damage the Extruder part to the
extent that can't be restored, it is recommended to refrain from the use of it if it is
expected to be difficult to use.

5. Cleaning the Outside of the nozzle

The nozzle is a part that is heated to a high temperature during printing, and it is usual that a filament
residue is melted and adhered to its surface. The filament that has been melted and adhered on the
surface of the nozzle would lower the quality by contaminating the sculpture as it is adhered to the
sculpture during printing.
① After heating up the nozzle to the degree that the filament on the surface would melt, remove
the residues on the surface with tweezers or wipe it with cotton cloth that doesn't melt.
② If the surface of the nozzle is severely polluted, cool down the nozzle completely, and wipe the
pollutant on the surface of the nozzle with the cloth after applying a small amount of highly pure
acetone as if the pollutant is being melted while the power is shut off. And then, use the printer
after the acetone gets completely evaporated.
③​ During the Loading process or Auto Tilt process before printing, a certain amount of filament
would be discharged by force in order to print with a clean filament. If such residues are adhered
to the nozzle, it would affect the sculpture; therefore, remove them before printing an actual
sculpture.
* Be cautious since the printing quality gets lowered due to the damage of the nozzle if the
nozzle hole is pressed by tweezers.
* When acetone is used for cleaning the nozzle, be cautious not to apply acetone on the
part other than metal part of the nozzle. The product may melt by the acetone, and it would
cause damage.
* When using acetone, use it in a place that is well ventilated, and be cautious about the
care.
(Be sure to follow the safety regulations that are marked on the packaging of the acetone.)
