8.3 Purge Print Head

Always purge a new print head immediately after replacing an expired print head. When you initiate a

purge cycle, there are two options to choose from - Purge All Print Heads and Purge New Print Head.

Purge All Print Heads will initiate a purge cycle for all print heads regardless of whether they are new or

not. Purge New Print Heads will initiate a purge cycle only for the new print heads.

8.4 Check Powder Level

Check Powder Level will see if the Z510 3D Printer currently has enough powder in the feed piston to

complete the build currently active in ZPrint, based on the feed pistons current position.

8.5 Drop Feed Piston

Drop Feed Piston will drop the feed piston to its lowest position so you can easily add additional powder

or begin gross depowdering a printed part in the build envelope.

8.6 Fill Bed

Fill Bed initiates a cycle that will prepare the build envelope for printing by automatically spreading powder

from the feed piston to the build piston.

8.7 Preheat Printer

Preheat Printer will activate the heater in the Z510 3D Printer and heat the build chamber to a predeter-

mined temperature based on the material being used. While the build chamber is pre-heating to the

desired temperature, the heat powers on and off for 2-5 minutes until the target temperature is reached.

8.8 Maintenance

The Maintenance dialog keeps a record of the distance travel by the Fast Axis, Slow Axis and the Pistons.

The Maintenance dialog will open automatically when it is time to perform lubrication maintenance on

these components as long as the Activate Maintenance Reminder option is checked in the Settings >

General Preferences > General tab. Only perform maintenance on these components when you are

prompted to in ZPrint.
