Oven Door

The oven door utilizes an electromagnetic lock. The oven door remains locked while the
printer is building and automatically unlocks when it is safe for you to access the
components of the oven; the oven door cannot be opened when the printer is building. The
top cover will automatically unlock in conjunction with the oven door, allowing you to
manually open the top cover.
The oven door window is comprised of 2 components, an interior pane of glass and an
exterior polycarbonate panel. The interior pane is tempered glass which is designed to
withstand extremely high temperatures, as this pane is in direct contact with the oven. The
exterior polycarbonate panel is removable and features an anti-scratch coating on the
exterior side of the panel (i.e. the surface aligned with the exterior of the printer). The interior
surface of this panel does not feature this anti-scratch coating.
Note: Although the polycarbonate exterior panel features an anti-scratch
coating, certain materials can still damage/scratch the panel's surface. Use
extreme care to avoid any activity which may scratch the panel's exterior
surface.
Very specific cleaning procedures must be followed when cleaning the interior glass pane
and the polycarbonate panel. See
details.
