      Clean the hotend tip

      Manually move the print heads to the front of the printer. Heat the print heads using the preheat menu, and with the help of the metal brush included in the toolkit, clean the hotend tip, removing any adhered material.
      Empty the purge buckets

      Every 3 months *1000 printing hours
      Clean extruder drive gears  Use the metal brush to clean the drive gears. This will ensure proper filament traction.
      Check pint head fans Check that the three fans on each print head are working correctly. Clean any accumulated dust with compressed air and a microfiber cloth.
      Check the hotend tip cover Check the condition of the hotend tip covers. If it is damaged, replace it with a new one provided in the toolkit.
      Check the silicone cloths Check that the hotend tip passes at the correct height through the silicone cloth. If the silicone cloths are damaged, replace them with new ones.
      Check belts tension The Omega I60 features an automatic belt tensioning system. If you detect that the belts are loose, contact support.
      Lubricate X/Y linear guides 
      and Z axis screws.      		 Clean the linear guides with a paper towel, apply the liquid lubricant from the toolkit to the rails, and use high-temperature grease on the two Z-axis screws.
       

      Yearly *3000 printing hours
      Check bowden tubes Filament, especially fiber-filled materials, wear down the Bowden tube interior, increasing friction and possibly causing extrusion issues. Replace the Bowden tubes if needed.
      Change HEPA filter To ensure proper air filtration, it is necessary to replace the HEPA filter annually.
