7 TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1 THE BINDER SOLUTION IS BEING APPLIED IN ERRATIC STRIPES

If the binder appears to be applied in fragmented stripes, check the following:

1. Rinse the squeegee clear of any debris.

2. Make sure binder supply is full.

If this does not correct the problem, your print heads may be worn out. Replace the print

heads as outlined above in Section 6.1, Changing the Print Heads.

7.2 THE SOFTWARE FREEZES DURING USE

Exit the software by pressing Ctrl_Alt_Delete and choosing End Task from the Task

Manager, then restart the software.

7.3 THIN PLANAR PARTS ARE WARPING

In general, warping is caused by uneven drying of parts. By adjusting print orientation and

drying time, warping can be minimized. You can take steps to ensure that drying is occurring

evenly by:

• Reorienting your part within the build box. If a thin planar surface of a part lies flat

along the top of the build box, the broad exposed area may dry unevenly and bow

towards the top. Reorient the part so that the thin planar surface lies perpendicular

to the top of the build box.

• Ensure that you are not over-drying the part. Reduce drying time to a minimum.

Refer to the guide in Section 4.3 Drying the Parts to select a drying time.

• Decreasing the layer thickness without proportionally changing the minimum and

maximum saturations will over saturate the part causing it to warp and may also

cause individual layers to curl during printing.

7.4 NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO PRINT

• Is the serial cord connected properly?

Remove the cord and carefully reinstall ensuring that you tighten the screws only after

making sure that it is tight in the socket. Do NOT over tighten the screws.

• Are any of the lights on the control panel illuminated?

If the error and power light come on but nothing happens after that, shut the machine off and

turn it back on again. The machine should come online. But if it does not, please call the

Service Department.
