Check if the holes of the building platform are free from any material residues
Clean the building platform with Rapid Shape Machine Cleaner or isopropanol
Moreover, the machine should be constantly checked for cleanliness of the following components:

8.1.2 Cleaning the material reservoir
The material reservoir is one of the basic elements of the machine. Therefore, the reservoir must be cleaned
whenever possible.
Clean the inside of the material reservoir by using isopropanol. Only use a finely woven
cloth to do this.
Clean the bottom of the material reservoir by using isopropanol followed by glass cleaner.
