Maintenance
There is not much to it. Filters saturate, fans get dusty, and that is about the whole list.
| Job | How often | |
|---|---|---|
| Replace the carbon filter | 3 to 6 months | Filters |
| Check the fans | Monthly | Fans |
| Check the load cell readings | Occasionally | Calibration |
Copy off and clear log.csv | When you feel like it | Logging |
The usage counter does the remembering
The enclosure counts hours the filter fan has actually run and puts a replace icon on the screen when it passes the threshold, which is 600 hours by default. Idle time does not count.
Reset it on the Settings page after you change the filter. Nothing resets it automatically.
The counter survives power cuts and firmware updates. It is saved every 15 minutes rather than continuously, to avoid wearing out the memory, so pulling the plug can lose up to 15 minutes of runtime.
A quick check before a long print
- Filter not past its hours
- Fans spinning freely and quietly
- Flap opening and closing fully from the Fan Control page
- Load cell reading sensible with a spool on it
Two minutes, and it catches most of what goes wrong.
