Hi Everyone,
_Print Head Cleaning_
We had our support tech in this week from Cimetrix to check out an issue with print head errors on the F170. The errors may be related to the age of the print head, but he noticed a build up of material around the model print head. To help prolong the lifetime of the print heads, it is important to clean the build chamber regularly when printing with the F170 (and to check the Dremel print head for buildup). Check it after every job you run and remove any stray filament stuck to the sides or on the bottom. For the Dremel, make sure the nozzle is clear as well.
_ECOWorks Cleaning_
We have run through our supply of waterworks cleaning solution so it has been replaced with ecoworks cleaning solution. Instead of emptying the jar there are 6 tabs to be added to the water. The EcoWorks packages are found beside the F170 on the taller table.
