Clean The Service Station

The function of the Service Station is to clean the print head during printing. Clean the Service Station after every build to remove residue buildup and ensure the print head is kept clean.

Before you begin:

  • Get several dry paper towels and some cotton swabs.
  • Get the squirt bottle filled with distilled water.
  • Wear disposable gloves.
  • Get the Pick from the Accessories Kit.
