Using 3D Clean Sticks
3D Clean Sticks - Loading and Usage
The 3D Clean Sticks should be used when changing to a different filament. You don't need to use the Clean Sticks when swapping to another roll of the same filament. You only need to use half a stick of 3D Clean per filament swap so every full stick is 2 filament changes.
Steps for Usage
- Heat the tool head to 270°C and unload the current Filament. You'll select Change Filament, then select the temperature icon at the top left and raise the nozzle temperature manually.
- After filament has been unloaded, push the Green Tension lever all the way back towards the back of the kiosk, then pull the lever 3 clicks towards yourself.
- Select load on the printer screen.
- Load the 3D Clean Stick Half into the tool head and let the tool head fully extrude the stick until you hear a clicking noise. Then select the Load button to turn off the extrusion and wait 3 full minutes.
- Set the tool head's Temperature to the appropriate loading temperature of the new filament, see the graph below:
Filament | Temperature |
---|---|
PETG | 240°C |
TPU | 220°C |
CPX | 270°C |
- When loading the new filament, be sure to see 6 inches of clean filament with no grey or cloud discolorations from the 3D Clean. Then feel free to start the next print.
