12. Maintenance/Optimal Operational Tips
The BIBO printer is an easy product to maintain and clean. To keep enjoying
your BIBO printer and ensure optimal print performance, regular maintenance
is very important.
General tips for optimal operation
- Make sure the filament enters the hot-end is clean from dust. You can do this
by letting it run through a piece of sponge before it enters the hot-end. You will
be surprised how much dust will accumulate during a 5 hour print. That would
have all entered the hot-end and formed a layer of contaminants, which would
interfere with the heat going into the filament.
- Do not use too high temperatures. They will make the filament decompose
and contaminate the inside of the nozzle.
- Do not leave the hot-end heated for hours. The filament might decompose
after leaving it at high temperatures, leaving a layer of contaminants behind in
the hot-end nozzle.
- Use good quality filament.
Cleaning
- To ensure good bed adhesion of prints we recommend cleaning the heating
bed with spirit, alcohol, thinner or nail polish remover. We recommend doing
this before each print, especially for long prints.
- Be careful not to get any liquid onto the electric board, as it can damage the
electronics permanently.
- Dust the printer off with a moist piece of cloth.
Regular maintenance
- Lubricate the vertical spindle and the linear railings with the sewing machine
oil; we recommend doing this every 3 months.
- After some time the belts might lose a little tension. Tighten them until a
healthy tension. The bolts and nuts on the printer will get loose too such as on
the x axis carriage, please check it usually and tighten them .
Nozzle repair or replacing
- When the nozzle is blocked, we have to dredge it or replace it. Blocked
nozzle may accumulate pressure inside which can cause a burst of molten
filament. So our advice is to wear the goggle when repairing or replacing the
nozzle.
