TIP COMPATIBILITY & SELECTION
Table 3-2 lists the materials available for use with the 360/400mc and their corresponding tips.
Table 3-3 lists the slice heights for each model tip.
Table 3-4 provides approximate tip life, based on the amount of material used.
• The system tracks tip use and automatically prompts you, through the user interface, when a tip
should be replaced. Worn tips are prone to clogs and reduce part quality. See
page 56 for more information on viewing tip use status.
When changing tips, the system will guide you through resetting the tip odometers from the display
•
panel.
• If building with ABS-M3 or ABS-M30i, you can use either SR-20 or SR-30 support material.
• If using SR-20 material, use the T12SR20 tip only (previously called a T12SR tip).
• If using SR-30 material, use the T12SR30 tip only.
• If using SR-100 material, use the T12SR100 tip only.
• If using SR-110 material, use the T12SR100 tip only.
The standard tip is used for Break-Away Supports (BASS) and model material. See
page 21 for more information.
