Maintenance Schedule

To ensure your 22 IDEX 3D printer continues to perform optimally and enjoys a prolonged lifespan, we recommend adhering to the following maintenance schedule.

If your 3D printer is often working at high heat and for many hours, you’ll need to look after it more often. When you should do regular check-ups can change based on a few things:

  • The speeds of printing and/or part movement.
  • Temperatures of the hot end and/or the build enclosure.
  • The count of toolheads utilized in operation.

Keep in mind, these points can make the time between check-ups longer or shorter.

The timetable we’ve set up is based on a printer that’s running for about 40 hours each week, and the heat in the printing area stays at 90°C (194°F) or lower.
