Replacing the Fuse X1 quartz tube heaters
Replacing the Fuse X1 quartz tube heaters
The Fuse X1 uses eight quartz tube heaters to evenly heat the print chamber during the print. If any of these heaters are faulty, the printer may have difficulty reaching or maintaining its target temperature, leading to print failures. Replace the quartz tube heater if one or more lamps fails to turn on, triggering a print error.
To replace a quartz heater tube:
-
If the printer was recently in use, wait for it to cool completely to room temperature before proceeding.
-
Open the print chamber door.
-
Locate the faulty heater.
-
Firmly pull the heater out of its socket.

-
Loosen the clamps securing the heater bulb in place and remove the heater.
-
Put on a clean pair of nitrile gloves before handling the replacement heater. Skin oils can damage the quartz glass once the heater is powered on.
-
Install the replacement heater by pressing firmly into the socket until it clicks into place. Ensure the white coating on the glass is facing upward.
-
Secure any clamps that were loosened previously.
-
Dispose of the faulty heater in accordance with local regulations for halogen lightbulbs.
