Cleaning the extrusion area of the Filament Maker

Keep the extrusion area clean to prevent issues and guarantee filament quality with these few easy steps.

  1. Turn OFF the Filament Maker and allow the extrusion area to cool completely to avoid burns or damage to components.
  2. Open the door to access the extrusion area, containing: the nozzle, fans, filament sensor and puller wheels.
  3. Remove any filament from the extrusion area by carefully cutting it away with a clean, sharp tool like pliers.
  4. Remove polymer residue and dust from all components inside the extrusion area using a soft and non-abrasive microfiber cloth and a chemical- and lotion-free cleaning solution to remove any remaining residue.
  5. Visually inspect the fans to ensure they are free of debris. If debris is present, carefully clean with a soft brush to maintain optimal airflow and cooling.
