2.2.1 FILLING THE FEED BOX WITH POWDER
3. Grip the Powder Scoop and using a
stabbing motion, insert it repeatedly a few
inches into the loose powder to compact it.
Continue for about 10-15 seconds until the
powder feels firm.
4. For each powder bag added to the Feed
Box, repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
5. When Feed Box is filled to top, take the
Tamper and slowly press it onto the powder
surface. Be careful not to “slap” the Tamper
into the Feed Box, which will produce
airborne particles. About 10-15 pounds of
force will give a smooth, flat, and compact
surface. Failure to firmly pack Feed Box will
affect part quality.
1. Press and hold the Feed Down button until
the piston reaches the bottom of the Feed
Box. The piston will stop when it reaches
the bottom. The Front Display will read
“F: 100% B: 100%”
2. Carefully scoop powder from the bucket and
place in the feed piston.
