OVEN DOOR
The oven door (see Figure 3-4) utilizes an electromagnetic lock along with optical sensors. The oven door
remains locked while the printer is building and automatically unlocks when it is safe for you to access the
components of the oven. You cannot open the oven door when the printer is building. The top cover will
automatically unlock in conjunction with the oven door, allowing you to manually open the top cover. The oven
door must be open prior to opening the top cover. The oven door gasket, which runs around the perimeter of the
oven door frame, helps to provide an airtight seal when the oven door is closed.
The oven door window is composed of 2 panes of tempered glass.
