Cleaning the rear mesh filter

The rear mesh filter is located at the back of the printer. It attaches magnetically to the printer and covers the LPU air intake. A clean rear mesh filter ensures that the LPU and resin do not overheat.

  1. If necessary, move the printer to be able to access the back of the machine.
  2. Locate the rear mesh filter positioned next to the power switch.
  3. Remove the rear mesh filter from the printer.
