IV.Maintenance
Replacing the ZYYX Fume FIlter
The ZYYX Fume Filter needs to be replaced in about every two months,
based on printing 2-4 hours a day
To replace the filter simply pull out the filter cartridge from the
backside of the printer and pull out the filter.

IV.Maintenance
Cleaning the Build Plate
The build plate needs to be cleaned on a
regular basis (after 2-4 prints) to make sure
your models stay firmly on the plate while
printing.
The best method is to gently sweep with a
tissue soaked in Acteone(CH3COCH3), this will
remove any grease and also refresh the special
ZYYX print top layer making sure your prints
stay on the plate.
Cleaning the Print Head
At an interval of 2-4 weeks the print head
should be cleaned.
Pull the front fitted fan
upwards to reach the feeder mechanism.
Unload the filament, and while letting the
unload feeding continue brush off any residue
plastic on the feeder wheel with a small brush
or tooth pick.
Use compressed air to blow out any debrie
from the mechanism.
Reattach the fan.
