9.3 Cleaning the printer
Follow the below steps to clean the printer:
1. For general cleaning, use a damped cloth to clean the outer panels of the printer. In the
event it gets soiled or stained, you can use a mild detergent (preferably diluted) to clean
off any stain.
2. Do not spray the cleaning solution or water directly on the printer. Spray it on a
paper/cloth and use it to clean the outer panels.
3. If you wish to sterilize the bioprinter for tissue culture purposes, you can use 70%
ethanol to wipe down the surfaces. Spray on a paper towel and use this to wipe down
the printer exterior.
4. You can wash the acrylic bed with warm water and soap in the event it gets soiled. If
you wish to sterilize it, you can spray it with 70% ethanol or autoclave the acrylic bed
templates.
