9. Cleaning the printer
IMPORTANT!
The SLS powders are hygroscopic (draw moisture out from the air). The print chamber and the
overow container are not 100% airtight. Leaving the powder inside of the printer may cause it to
become wet and lose its intended properties.
IMPORTANT!
• Cleaning the printer is recommended immediately after each printing.
• If you do not want to clean the printer immediately after pulling the printout, you can do
this later. On the main menu screen, press MAINTENANCE
button and then CLEAN THE
PRINTER button.
