6 Maintenance
Proper and regular maintenance not only helps to extend the service life of your printer, but also
greatly improves your printing success rate and prototyping effect every time. This chapter describes
various maintenance tasks of FUNMAT PRO 310 that you need to perform.
6.1 Inspection Before Each Printing
Inspection before printing ensures the safety during printing and improves the print success rate.
6.1.1 Inspect the printing platform
Inspect the platform and flexible printing build plate:
1. To ensure that the magnetic platform is free of foreign matters, there are no adsorbed debris
on the magnet, and the screws for installing the magnet are not loose or protruding;
2. To check whether there is any foreign matter or damage on the surface of flexible printing
build plate;
3. To correctly adsorb the printing build plate on the printing platform.
6.1.2 Clean the printing chamber
The material filaments remaining on the build plate of the chamber may melt in the heated chamber
and stick to the build plate, and the sundries in the chamber under the platform may occupy the
movement space of Z-axis. Therefore, clean all the debris and material chips inside the printing
chamber carefully before printing.
6.1.3 Inspect the nozzle
To prevent the residual materials on the nozzle from affecting the prototyping quality of printing
works, you should inspect whether the nozzle is clean before each printing. If it is not clean, you
need to heat the extruder to the temperature that can melt the residual materials, then clean the
extruder using a copper wire brush with wooden handle.
If the material sticks to a higher position and enters the small housing near the nozzle, you need to
remove the small housing near the nozzle, clean the nozzle and then install it back.
