MAINTENANCE

FOR YOUR

WANHAO

D6 PLUS

32

F1. In General

To achieve the best possible results from your D6 Plus, some
basic annual maintenance is recommended. This chapter contains tips
which helps you to keep the D6 Plus running at it’s best.

Before you make a print a quick check is advised. A visual check is
recommended to see if there is not any:

- old prints/objects on the build plate.

- make sure no one can possibly walk over, damage or pull out the power supply

cable.

Updating rmware with USB cable

Once a while Cura will give you a mention that new rmware available. New rmware
means that we have optimize the control of the electronics which will gives
better print results and user experience. If you see this mention, connect the USB
cable between your computer and your D6 Plus and follow the instructions in

Cura.

33

F1. In general Maintenance for your D6 Plus

F2. Change lament and material feeder

Removing lament

In the D6 Plus the lament material can be changed. As you have learned in
previous steps there is no need to do this all by yourself because the D6 Plus

helps you with that.

1. Go to the [MATERIAL] tab on the main menu of the display. Press the button:

next go to [CHANGE], this can be done by turning the wheel next to the screen.
Press the button.

Note: rmware updates in the future may use a different terminology.

2. Your D6 Plus will heat up so the material can be removed later. When the

required temperature is met, the feeder will turn by itself and retract the lament.

3. Rewind the lament on the lament spool and make sure it cannot uncoil at a
later moment (secure with hole in spool, tape or anything that works).

Feeding materia

4. When you took the lament from the spool,

you (can) replace it with a new spool, follow the

instructions on the display.

5. In the last step of the instructions we make
sure that the printer knows what kind of material
you have inserted in your machine. Select on
the display the material that is identied on the

spool.

Clean material feeder

After a lot of printing, the wheel in the material
feeder can accumulate small plastic particles.You

can clean this by blowing air on the wheel or
using a simple brush.

34

F2. Change lament and material feeder Maintenance for your D6 Plus

F3. Lubricating the axes

Z-Axis

After approximately every half year the
threaded rod on the z-stage has to be
lubricated. A green grease (Magnalube-G) is
included with the D6. This grease is
the lubrication which has to be used on the
threaded Z-stage rod.

Note: the green grease should be applied as is

shown in the photograph.

Make sure you spread 10 drops of grease over
the entire exposed threaded rod. With you next
print on the D6 Plus the Thread will grease
itself by moving up and down.

X-Y-Axes

If you notice small wavers in the outside
surfaces of your 3D printed objects.
It is recommended
to add a single drop of sewing machine

oil onto the X and Y steel axes bars.

This will inprove the smooth movement
of your D6 Plus. This lubrication

is not included in the D6 Plus package.

If you choose to lubricate the X- and Y-axis you
MUST use sewing machine oil. Apply a maximum of one
droplet oil on the axis.
Remove any excess oil.

TROUBLEHOOTING

AND SUPPORT

WANHAO

D6 PLUS

36

G1. Simple Troubleshooting tips

In case something goes wrong with your D6, the following
chapter will help you. From diagnosing and xing the problem yourself

to contacting support.

Print detaches during printing or print does

not stick at all.
Cause

Build plate is not properly leveled.

Solution

Follow the instructions under [MAINTENANCE]
and then [Auto bed leveling]

Solution

Use a spatula or another thin object such as a
wedge between the glass and the object. Slowly
push the wedge under the object from different
directions. If the object will not
release from the build plate try slightly tapping
the wedge.

Material feeder ticks when loading
new material Cause

Material has reached the nozzle and is exiting the nozzle, the feeder cannot keep up
with the ow.

Solution

While loading new material it is normal for the feeder to tick, the feeder is designed
to tick backwards instead of grinding the material.

Caution: be very careful when using a sharp
tool to remove objects.

37

G1. Simple Troubleshooting tips Troubleshooting and support for the D6 Plus

G1. Simple Troubleshooting tips (continued)

Not enough material is released from the nozzle.

Cause

Material feeder on the back of the D6 Plus is ticking while printing. Nozzle is
blocked or partially blocked by dirt or burned material.

Solution

Increasing the print temperature to 260C while printing in an attempt to clear the
blockage. If the blockage is removed keep printing at 260C for at least 10 minutes to
clean out any residue.

Second cause

Printing at 260C does not solve the blockage.

Solution

Something larger than 0.4mm could be blocking the nozzle. Cleaning the nozzle or
replacing it is recommended. Contact support: [e-mail] who will
assist in xing your D6 Plus.

Material ow stops and material is ground down by the feeder.

Cause

Nozzle could be blocked or partially blocked.

Solution

See “Not enough material is released from the nozzle.” for causes and solutions.

Second cause

Too much pressure is put on the material by the feeder.

Solution

Release the pressure on the feeder a bit by adjusting the build plate screw

clockwise.

Third cause

Too little pressure is put on the material by the feeder, causing the material to slip.

Solution

Put more pressure on the feeder a bit by adjusting the pressure screw counter

clockwise.

D6 Plus display only shows “ERROR - STOPPED”, “Temp Sensor”

Cause

A problem with the temperature measurement has been detected, the printer has
been switched off for safety reasons.

Solution

It indicates an electronics problem. Contact support: [e-mail] who
will assist in xing your D6 Plus.
