8.2. Replacing the Extruder
Introduction
The extruder is the main unit for 3D printing with the BigRep STUDIO. The extruder
contains the hotends where the filament is heated and then squeezed through the
nozzles (e) and (f) (see Fig. 8-4). The BigRep STUDIO is equipped with a dual extrud-
er with two hotends that can be replaced separately.
The two nozzles can be used simultaneously for separate printing tasks e.g. to print
additional support material for supporting structures alongside the main object.
For replacing the entire extruder, or just one or both hotends, it is necessary to
remove the extruder from the machine. The procedure is described step by step
below.
Please note
If the LEDs at the bottom of the extruder light up, this means
that the extruder is connected to the printer.
The nozzles (e) and (f) are firm components of the hot-ends
(Fig. 8-3 and Fig. 8-4) and may not be exchanged separately.
Disassembling the extruder beyond the steps described in this
instruction renders the warranty/guarantee null and void.
