Stratasys J826 User Guide
Depending on the size of the 3D print(s) to be produced, printing can take
between several hours to several days. As long as there is enough model and
support material in the supply cartridges, printing proceeds automatically until
the job is finished.
J826 printers use up to seven different model-material cartridges to produce
3D prints. In addition, a support-material cartridge is required. If additional
cartridges are installed and they are not immediately needed for printing, the
printer interface indicates this (see "Printer Interface Color Key" below).
Printer Interface Color Key
The background colors in the printer indicator fields tell you at a glance
whether or not the value or item is suitable or ready for printing.
• Green—suitable/ready for printing
• Blue—not ready
• Red—not suitable for printing (or indicates a warning)
The color of the material cartridges displayed in the printer interface indicates
which cartridges are active for the current (or next) print job.
For example, in Figure 4-3 on page 4-4:
• Blue—active cartridge
• Gray—reserve cartridge
DOC-28000 Rev. I
For example, in Figure 4-4 on the previous page:
❒ Heads (°C)—The heads have reached the temperature required for
printing.
❒ Ambient—The ambient temperature of the printing chamber is within
the acceptable range.
❒ Heads Liquid—The level of model and support material in the
print-block reservoir is OK.
❒ Heads Vacuum—The vacuum level in the system is within the
acceptable range.
❒ Pre-Heater—The model and support resins have been heated to the
required temperature before being supplied to the print block.
For example, in Figure 4-4 on the previous page:
❒ UV lamps—The UV lamps are not on.
For example, in Figure 4-4 on the previous page:
❒ Waste—The weight of the waste container is 9000 grams, more than
allowed when beginning a print job. (See "Replacing the Waste
Container" on page 4-131.)
