Hi, I just purchased a WASP 2040 and I am very impressed with its performance. I have some basic questions that I could not find answers for online or in the manual.

1, How do you clean the bed? especially after applying glue with a glue stick. Is scraping OK?

2, When calibrating, How far from the bed should the nozzle be?

3, When I pause to change filament midway through a print the WASP ejects the filament automatically, How can I get it to do this anytime I want to change the filament.

Thank you in advance for your help.

HI, point for point answer:

1 - I remove the bed and use water. Scraping can be done, but you must be very careful, specially if you have the new Inox print bed (the older is glass made)

2 - 0.1-0.2 mm. You can use a standard A4 sheet for 0.1, business card for 0.2

3 - Not possible.

All the best. Enrico

hi, i’m max

1 take off the bed and clean it with water and a spunge (have you the glass or the metal bed?)

2 to calibrate put an a4 paper on the bed, than calibrate to have some friction between the nozzle and the paper

3 i don’t know if is possible but you have only to press the lever and pull off the filament

bye!

Hi, glue you can remove with wet towel, i use for cleaning “window cleaner” products. You can’t use “Change filament” option when printer is not printing, you should do it manually.

Hello, welcome to the WASP family :smiley:

1- i clean the bed whit hot water and soap.

2- for calibration of the bed i use a sheet of paper. Raising or lowering the bed until you reach a minimum of friction between the nozzle and the bed

3- Sorry but i did not understand the question. WASP always ejects the filament when you set filament change. In other time if you want change filament have to pull it out by hand.

I hope to be proved helpful.

Thank you, The WASP family seems like a great group! And thank you for your suggestions.

Thanks, I used a similar cleaner. It seems the easiest way to change filament is to start a print and then change it while it is printing the raft. This way it ejects the filament automatically.

I do not have the glass. It is a metal bed. So you think it is best for the nozzle to be slightly touching the paper? I have been having some issues with the print not sticking to the bed and the nozzle knocks the print off. I will test again soon.

Yes I have the newer bed and I do not want to scratch it. I have used a spray cleaner and soap and water. So, you are saying a business card should fit between the nozzle and the bed? I will try this. It seems the easiest way to change filament is to start a print and then change it while it is printing the raft. This way it ejects the filament automatically. Thanks for your help.
