The printer will start a print that will be approximately 10 minutes in duration.
The build will lay down 1 layer of part and support material.
STEP 4:
Inspect the test build for
consistency
•A good test build should be
solid across the entire line for
both part and support
materials.
•Pay particular attention to the
part material line to
determine if additional
hygiene should be performed.
Example of a Good Test Print
•Test print should be free of spaces or
gaps.

If after three (3) Test Print attempts, the
build does not pass
•Contact your 3D Systems Service
Personnel who will provide you with
advanced troubleshooting
procedures.

that are partially or fully clogged or missing.
The Test Print will quickly clear out any potentially clogged jets with minimal material usage.
