2.5 Preparing the print chamber

ATTENTION!
Risk of crushing hands!
• The moving Recoater can cause hand injuries.
• Be careful not to crush your hands when closing the printer lid.
ATTENTION!
Printing from flexible materials.
• Each time before printing with flexible materials, the printer will ask you to first perform the
Laser Protective Glass maintenance (as outlined in Chapter 12.3 in the full user manual). In
this case, follow the instructions on the screen. Tick the MAINTENANCE DONE checkbox and
press DONE button. This will start the printing process.
• If the Laser Protective Glass is dirty or missing, attempting to print will damage the printer.
Only use ethanol or 99.9% pure isopropanol for cleaning the optics!
1. Remove the powder remaining under the guide bars. You may use the brushes and spatulas provided in the Dedicated
Powder Tools. Press DONE.
2. Press START LEVELING to begin levelling the powder surface.
IMPORTANT!
During the powder levelling process, you can scrape the excess powder from under the guides with
a plastic spatula, for example from the Dedicated Powder Tools set.
3. Wait until the Recoater completes the process. If you are not satisfied with the levelling you can repeat the process by
pressing REPEAT LEVELING. Afterwards, press DONE.
4. Remove powder from the guide bars. Use a brush or a cotton cloth. Press DONE.
5. Delicately wipe the pyrometer window with a wipe soaked in ethanol-based or 99.9% purity isopropyl cleaning solution.
You may also use cleaning wipes provided in Dedicated Powder Tools.
6. Wipe the pyrometer window again with a dry cotton cloth, to remove any alcohol residue. Press DONE.
7. Make sure no miscellaneous items (i.e. spatulas) remain in the print chamber, then close the lid. Press DONE.
IMPORTANT!
• If the printout requires it, connect the source of inert gas to the inlet nipple.
• Press the CHECK PRESSURE button to verify the inert gas control system.
• If the inert gas control system is incorrectly connected, a proper message will appear.
