Printer maintenance
The Polar3D printer’s polar coordinates-based design means a
simpler machine with fewer moving p ar t s, so fewer maintenance
issues. But as with any machine, there are a few parts that
benefit from some occasional maintenance attention.
10.1 Cleaning your build plate
Something you will need to do fairly regularly is to clean your
build plate.
Remove the build plate from the printer, and wash it with
warm water. If bits of filament are still a bit stuck, rub it lightly
with a fingernail or green scrubber (but d o no t scr u b ha rd ) .
Then dry the bu i l d plate thoroughl y, both top and bottom, be-
fore replacing it o n the printer.
