 During further use, regular removal of grease residues with isopropyl alcohol will prevent poor adhesion.

+Use acetone as solvent to remove ABS residues from the print bed. Apply the acetone to a cloth and wipe the print bed rather than dousing it directly.\\
 Other material's residues are best removed with a lint-free towel soaked in a suitable, non-corrosive, non-toxic solvent. Observe the manufacturer's safety data sheet when handling plastic solvents. Make sure to thoroughly wash off any residues. Remaining smear may lead to increased adhesion, which can render it impossible to release printed objects without damage.

-Cleaning the hot end nozzle tip is required quite often compared to other components of the 3D printer. Dust ingression through the filament supply system, coking of material, and storage in a dusty place may lead to clogging of the tip's bore.\\ An imprecisely (too closely) leveled print bed, too low extrusion temperatures or too high an extrusion speed can lead the nozzle tip choking itself.\\
+Cleaning the hot end nozzle tip is required quite often compared to other components of the 3D printer. Dust ingression through the filament supply system, coking of material, and storage in a dusty place may lead to clogging of the tip's bore.\\ An imprecisely (too closely) leveled print bed, too low extrusion temperatures or too high an extrusion speed can lead to the nozzle tip choking itself.\\
 In any of these cases, a decreasing print quality and slipping of the drive gear will be the first visible effects. Removing and cleaning the nozzle tip is then necessary; the [[#Remedying clogging|description below]] should remedy the problem, as long as no hardware defect is present.\\ \\
 Cleaning the extruder hot end barrel is only required if it is clogged with coked material or foreign particles. It is recommended after dissembling the hot end at material change (installing a //different// material).

+==== Wiper assembly and installation ====
+If you have ordered the //[[reprap-industrial-v1:manual#wiper|Wiper Upgrade Kit]]//, it comes partly preassembled and must be completed prior to installation in the 3D printer.
+<WRAP caution>
+DANGER OF BURNING
+Depending on the set build chamber temperature internal components of the 3D printer may reach temperatures up to 70 °C and may cause burning injuries when touched.\\
+Shut down the 3D printer and let it cool down before starting to work on it.

+=== Assembly step 1: bracket and mounting arm ===
+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP half column>
+First assemble the bracket with the mounting arm:
+  * Align the bracket's front side with the mounting arm's groove. The wiper lip must later face the print bed.
+  * Fasten the bracket to the mounting arm with the M8x16 flat head screw.

+First, the right LED in the build chamber must be moved a few centimeters up to make space for the wiper.
+  * Loosen the LED's M4x10 fixing screw and push up so that the lower edge of the fastening head is approximately level with the lower edge of the belt idler pulley mount.
+  * Retighten the fixing screw.
+  * Carefully pull up a little extra of the supply lines to make space for the mounting arm.

+NOTICE
+Do not try to hide the LED's supply lines in the groove of the frame. This may lead to damage since the hammerhead nut of the mounting arm must be fastened in the frame groove.
