Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your 3D printer's heated bed is clean and free of dust or debris.
- Place the ARKFLY Phaetus Build Plate directly onto the heated bed, ensuring it sits flat and securely.
- Level your 3D printer's bed as you normally would, making sure the nozzle has the correct distance from the build plate across its surface.
Compatibility:
This build plate is designed for specific 3D printer models. Always verify that this plate is listed as compatible with your exact printer model before purchasing. Its dimensions and mounting points are crucial for a perfect fit.
Care:
- After each print, allow the build plate to cool completely before attempting to remove prints.
- Clean the textured surface with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on a lint-free cloth to remove any residual oils or filament debris. For tougher residues, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth may suffice, followed by drying.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals that could damage the textured coating.
- Handle the spring steel plate carefully; while durable, excessive or sharp bending can cause permanent deformation.
