9. Close process chamber door and front valve.
See Operation EOS P 396 manual, section 6, Closing front valve.
10. Load temperature job and determine building temperature.
☞ section 8, Checking, determining, setting building temperature.
11. Load a job.
☞ Operation EOS P 396 manual, section 6, Loading a job.
12. Adjust job:
Move up SLI files affected or, if possible, move in X, Y direction.
☞ Operation EOS P 396 manual, section 6, Moving parts.
13. Start building process:
In the Minimum warm up time field select a value and accept with OK.
14. Monitor recoater alignment in the PSW in the Recoater adjustment group box in
the PSW main window during the building process.
See Troubleshooting, Maintenance and Spare parts P 396 manual, section 4,
Checking, adjusting recoater alignment.
At points that are refilled, a layer of power at least 3 mm thick must be
applied before it is possible to start to build parts at these points.
The properties of the bed of plastic powder (temperature, density) are not
optimal at this point, the parts could be torn out again.
In case of curl or an uneven temperature distribution in the process chamber,
EOS recommends moving the parts in X, Y direction if possible.
The warm up value is dependent on the difference between the actual process
chamber temperature and the nominal temperature entered.
