11.1 Cleaning the Print Head
It’s a good idea to keep the underside of the print head relatively clear of debris and molten plastic. If plastic
builds up on the nozzle or heat block, it can detach and drop into your print.
Service Interval: As needed
Manually heat the nozzle up to:
200
o
C for PLA
230
o
C for ABS
Somewhere between these temperatures for other materials
Use a dry folded over paper towel to clean the debris off the head. Fold it over several times to insulate your
fingers and remove debris with a pinching motion.
CAUTION: The print head will be hot. Avoid contact with your bare skin.
