Cleaning the Fuse X1 exhaust filter

Cleaning the Fuse X1 exhaust filter

The Fuse X1 filters its exhaust gases to remove any byproducts of powder sintering. A dirty exhaust filter is less effective and could cause your printer to display an error message.

Clean the exhaust filter after every 240 hours of printing time (roughly every two weeks), or when indicated by the printer touchscreen.

To clean the exhaust filter:

  1. Using an 8 mm hex driver, unlatch and open the air handling access door, on the right side of the printer.

  2. Unlatch and open the exhaust filter box.

  1. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to clean the face of the filter cover.

  2. Close and latch the exhaust filter box.

  3. Close the air handling access door. Latch it shut using an 8 mm hex driver.
