Cleaning the
Print Heads
DOC-24333 Rev. A
Periodic inspection and cleaning of the orifice plates on the bottom of the
print block ensures that the print nozzles are not clogged. A wizard guides
you through the procedure, and adjusts components of the printer to
enable you to perform it. To maintain your Objet30 printer in optimum
condition, clean the print heads after every print job, when you remove the
model from the build tray. This procedure takes about 20 minutes.
To clean the print heads:
1. Prepare—
•
isopropanol (IPA—isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
•
disposable cleaning gloves
•
the supplied cleaning cloth or equivalent
•
a mirror
2. Start the Heads Cleaning Wizard from the Options menu of the printer
interface (see figure 6‐34 on page 27).
3. Follow the instructions on the wizard screens, and select the check
boxes to confirm that:
•
you have checked that the tray is empty.
•
you have closed the cover.
