7.Regular Repair and Maintenance
3D Printer needs to perform the regular maintenance, as well as some daily
maintenance, in order to ensure the printer can maintain the high performance to
run stably.
7.1. Printer Regular Maintenance Guide
The regular maintenance mainly contains: clean printer nozzle, replace the printer
platform sticker (1), printer platform regular check and leveling, replace air
filtration core, optical shaft and screw rod maintenance and others.
7.1.1. Cleaning Printing Nozzle
In the process of 3D printing, the part of consumable debris and dust particles is
likely to accumulate around the printing nozzle. As time goes on, these
accumulative materials can lead to that printing precision becomes poor or nozzle
is block and others. Therefore, before printing for each time, it needs to observe
whether the nozzle is blocked and perform the cleaning.
Maintenance method: The printing nozzle is usually cleaned by tweezers (10), and
the impurities around nozzle are wiped out by the cleaning cloth.

7.1.2. Replacing Printer Platform Sticker (1)


Check whether the printer sticker (1) surface is worn and uneven on the printing
platform, if sticker (1) is worn, it must be replaced, and avoid the model falling from
the platform when printing.

nozzle,firstly,
menu.DO with what the machine tell you to do,after we finished the Level build plate.
We need to press “Axes gap adjustment” ,then the nozzle will move to the plate,at this
time we use Hex wrench 2.0mm(11) to adjust the height of the nozzle make sure the
nozzle on the surface of the plate.When all of these things done.We can print.
7.1.5. X / Y offset adjustment of the right and left Nozzle *2
For dual-extruder printer,when you change nozzle you have to do the things
bellow:
Print the rectangular test block file dualtest.x3g on the SD card, and the file model
is a four-layer rectangular block as below

Among them, the first and the third layer from the bottom (the yellow part ) will be
printed by the left Nozzle; the second and the fourth layer (the red part) will be printed
by the right Nozzle.
If there are separated parts printed by the left and right Nozzles in the printed block,
which means that there is a deviation on the red and yellow part in the X, Y direction (
as shown below), then you need to conduct Nozzle offset adjustment .
43 44 GB

Offset adjustment steps:


Open the ReplicatorG printing software, select "Machine " → " Machine Type ( Driver
) " on the menu bar, then select a machine that matches your model.

Connect the printer to the ReplicatorG printing software, select "Machine " → "
Onboard Preferences" on the menu bar, and enter the interface for printer parameter
setting. Select "Homing / VREFs" option and adjust X toolhead offset and Y toolhead
offset value.
Then, take out the whole motor and feed gear from right back side

The filament debris on the motor gear is performed with cleaning by tweezers (8) ,
and installed is performed according reverse procedures after cleaning.
Note: Finally plug in the motor connection line.
7.2.2. Replacing Printing Nozzle
When the operation is inappropriate or the filament materials is not selected
properly, they would cause nozzle blockage. In the necessary cases, it needs to
perform the nozzle replacement.
Dis-assembly Procedure:
Firstly, take out the motor gear components, the specific procedure can be referred
to chapter 7.2.1 of “Cleaning Nozzle and Motor Gear”.
Use Hex wrench 2mm (11) to tighten the screw fixed nozzle throat.

Take out the whole component of nozzle from the bottom and pull out the
connecting line plug of nozzle.

The process of nozzle dis-assembly is over.


The Installation Process of New Nozzle Components:
Firstly, place the motor gear a component at the original position, which is used to
determine the length that nozzle throat stretches out above the aluminum block.
