Removing Models After Printing
Afterprintingmodels,youshouldallowthemtocoolasmuchaspossible
beforehandlingthem.Ifadditionalmodelsdonothavetobeproducedon
theConnexprinter,itisbesttolettheprintedmodelscoolintheprinter,
withthecoverclosed,aslongaspossible.
If the Connex printer must be used to produce additional models as
soon as possible:
1. Lettheprintedmodelscoolonthebuildtrayforatleast10minutes.
2. Verycarefully,removethemodelsfromthetraywithascraperor
spatula(suppliedinthetoolkit),takingcarenottopryorbendthe
model.
3. Placethemodelsonaflatsurface,andcoverthemwithacardboard
boxorpaperhood.
Thisallowsthemo
delstocoolslowlyandevenly.
4. Letthemodelscoolforseveralhours.
Removing the Support Material
Afterprintedmodelshavecooled,thesupportmaterialmustberemoved.
Thiscanbedonebydifferentmethods,dependingonthesizeofthemodel,
howdelicateitis,theamountandlocationofthesupportmaterial,and
otherfactors.Usethefollowingmethodsasaguide,andadaptthem(ora
co
mbinationofthem)forfinishingthemodelsyouarehandling.
Removing Excess Support Material by Hand
Whilewearingprotectivegloves,breakawayexcesssupportmaterialon
theoutsideofthemodel.Fordelicatemodels,useatoothpick,pinorsmall
brushafterdippingthemodelinwater.
Removing Support Material with Water Pressure
Formostmodels,themostefficientwaytoremovesupportmaterialisby
usingahigh‐pressurewaterjet.OnesuitablesystemistheBalcoWaterJet
cleaningunit,showninfigure 8‐1onpage 8‐3.Thisdeviceismarketedby

before they are washed.
