Removing A Printhead

IMPORTANT: Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged before starting the procedure. Ensure the filament is also removed.

Tools and Parts Required:

  • 3mm Allen Hex Driver

  • Four M4x10mm Socket Head Bolts

Procedure

  • Lift the lid of the printer to gain access to the printhead.

  • Manually bring the printhead closer to you and locate the four bolts on the back of the printhead.

  • The printhead rests on two alignment pins and is fastened to the X-axis using four M4x10mm socket head bolts. Use the 3mm Allen wrench to loosen and remove the four bolts. Be sure to keep the bolts in a safe place as they will be needed later.

  • After removing the bolts, the printhead is only resting on the two alignment pins, be careful not to drop the printhead. It is advised to always have a hand on the printhead.

  • Lift the printhead off of the pins while also disconnecting the electrical connector.

  • The print head is now completely removed and can be set off to the side.
