Einstein / Pro XL: Cleaning the Build Platform

Learn about effective techniques for cleaning the build platform on your Einstein / Pro XL for optimal 3D printing performance.

When to Clean

The build platform should remain as clean as possible between print jobs to keep your printer in optimal printing condition. The build platform should be cleaned when:

  • build platform becomes sticky
  • material cures around the build platform clamping handle
  • when changing the material type

Cleaning Procedure

  1. Clean the connection cavity at the top of the build platform using a Q-tip with 99% IPA.
  2. If too much material has cured in the torque knob screw threading, replace the build platform.
  3. Clean the surface of the build platform with a clean paper towel.
  4. Check every surface for material, buildup, or stickiness.
  5. Clean the excessive buildup using a small amount of 99% IPA on a clean paper towel or Q-tip.
  6. Hard spots of cured material can be carefully scraped off using the paint scraper from the Starter Kit.
