To keep the machine in good operation, and to extend its service life, AON3D recommends the maintenance schedule that follows.
The schedule that follows is based on an average print time of 60 hours a week at a chamber temperature of 180°C or less.
A higher frequency of maintenance will be needed when the machine operates consistently at high temperatures and with a high number of printing hours. The frequency at which preventive maintenance is performed will vary on the factors that follow:
• Print and/or travel speeds.
• Hot end and/or build chamber temperatures.
• Number of toolheads used.
