Equipment Maintenance

Platform plate removal and maintenance $CREALITY -Ender-3-V3-3D-Printer- $32$$

. When printing is ﬁnished, wait for the platform plate to cool before removing the printing platform with the model attached;
Slightly bend the platform with both hands to separate the model from the platform.
If there are residual ﬁlaments on the platform plate, scrape them oﬀ lightly with a blade and print again.
If the ﬁrst layer of the model is not properly glued, it is recommended to apply solid adhesive evenly on the surface of the platform plate before preheating for printing.

Tips:

Don’t bend too much for daily use to prevent deformation and unusability;
The printing platform is a perishable part, and it is recommended to replace it regularly to ensure that the ﬁrst layer of the model sticks properly.

Optical axis maintenance
It is recommended to purchase lubricating grease for regular maintenance of the optical axis area.
