1 Introduction
WaveWash 55 Support Cleaning System is designed to remove SR-30 soluble supports from
ABSplus parts using Ecoworks tablets. The system is environmentally friendly, allowing for municipal
sewage disposal of used solution. WaveWash 55 Support Cleaning System can clean a single part
as large as 127 x 127 x 127 mm (5 x 5 x 5 in.).
Your part is left with a smooth and clean finish with the fine details intact. The majority of the soluble
support material can be removed by hand with relative ease, but is designed to be dissolved from
your parts for hands free finishing.
How to use this guide
This User Guide is laid out in easy to follow sections which cover Setup, Operation, Maintenance,
and Troubleshooting. Read each section carefully so that you will get the best performance from

Safety precautions
The following precautions ensure proper use of the system and prevent system damage. Follow these
precautions at all times.
• Make sure the appropriate voltage range for your region has been selected. Avoid
overloading the electrical outlet with multiple devices.
• Ensure the system is well-grounded. Failure to ground the system may result in electrical shock,
fire and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
• Before disassembling or repairing the system yourself, contact your local Service
Representative. See the Support section in the User Guide.
• Use only the power cord supplied. Do not damage, cut or repair the power cord. A damaged
power cord has risk of fire and electric shock. Replace a damaged power cord with an
approved power cord.
• Do not allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts. Doing so may cause damage, fire,
electric shock or other serious hazards.
• Power off the system and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet in any of the
following cases:
• If there is smoke or an unusual smell coming from the cleaning system.
• If the cleaning system is making an unusual noise not heard during normal operation.
• A piece of metal or a liquid touches the internal parts of the cleaning system.
• During an electrical (thunder/lightning) storm.
• During a power failure.
The following classifications are used throughout this guide.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury.
Hot Surface: The hot surface sign indicates the presence of devices with high
temperatures. Always use extra care, and wear safety gloves, when working
around heated components.
Recycle: Use proper recycling techniques for materials and packaging.

2Overview
The WaveWash 55 Support Cleaning System was specifically developed to provide efficient
removal of soluble support material from parts built using the FDM process.
How it works
The system removes support material by immersing parts in a bath of water with a specific amount
of Ecoworks tablets. The system heats and circulates solution around the parts in the carafe. The
solution dissolves the support material without harming the underlying part material. Cleaned parts
should be air dried before using.

3Setup
Connecting the system
Make sure the following preparations of the physical site are met:
• The system must be placed on a flat and stable surface able to support 9.1 kg (20 lbs.) to avoid
the risk of falling.
• The grounded electrical outlet (100–120/220-240VAC, 7/4A 60/50Hz) must connect a
power cord for your region and must be located within 2 m (5 ft.) of the system. Do not use an
extension cord or a power strip. Using these can possibly cause intermittent power issues.
• The AC voltage selection (115V or 230V) switch must be set for the proper power input.
Select AC power
1. Remove the AC power selection sticker.
2. Set the AC power selection (115V or 230V) switch to the voltage used in your region.

Connect the power cord
Securely plug one end of the appropriate power cord into the receptacle at the side of the system
and the other end of the power cord into a grounded receptacle.
WARNING: If the proper input voltage is not selected, the cleaning system will be
damaged.
