This article outlines the proper and safe steps for removing the back panel of the machine, equipping you with the necessary guidance for effective maintenance and repair procedures.
What components are accessible?
By removing the back panel, you gain access to the power supply and mainboard electronics. Please note that accessing or servicing the extrusion system, including the heaters, does not require removal of the back panel; these tasks should be performed by taking off the top panel instead.
