Printer maintenance

[PeterH]

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!

I should have followed my own advice!
I wanted to make a print or two and found that having not used my printer for several months the print head was blocked. Despite numerous print head cleaning cycles the print head is still blocked for one of the colours.
I have ordered a print head cleaning kit off Amazon which is supposed to fix the problem. I will let you know how I get on.

Repeat after me.....’I must run a print check every week’

Thanks Peter!

Well after two lots of scrubbing the print head with cloth soaked in cleaning fluid, two cleaning cycles and printing a couple of prints, I have finally cleared the print head blockage.
I used a kit called the Magic Bullet and followed a video online:

I will ensure I run a weekly nozzle check from here on, although when we might ever need to make prints for competitions again is anyone's guess.....
