¶ What is the right panel
Facing the front door of the printer, the side cover on the right is the right panel. The X1C uses a metal panel, and the X1 uses a plastic material. In addition, due to the improvement in assembly, the number of fixing screws on the metal right panel has been reduced.
¶ When to use
Unacceptable deformation or damage on the right panel
¶ Tools and materials required
- A new right panel
- H2.0 hex key
¶ Safety warning and Machine state before starting operation
Before starting the operation, make sure the machine is turned off. If an AMS is connected, the PTFE tube and AMS buffer will need to be removed first.
