Maintaining Your 3D Printer
6.7 Hot End
The hot end should be kept clean of extruded plastic by removing melted
plastic strands with the tweezers. If melted plastic builds up on the hot end
nozzle it can be cleaned with a paper towel soaked with acetone. Make sure
the hot end is completely cool before attempting to clean the nozzle with
acetone.
6.8 Electronics
The electronics case holding the RAMBo board may need to have dust
blown out occasionally. Power down the printer and use the provided 2.5MM
driver to remove the 4 M3 screws holding the lid to the enclosure. The fan
is mounted to the lid and connected to the RAMBo board. Be careful with
the fan cable during removal. Once removed use short bursts of compressed
air to blow out any dust or debris. Plug in the lid fan paying attention to
polarity and reattach the lid.
