Hello and thank you for choosing the Creatr HS for your printing needs.
The following solution will instruct you on how to clean the drive of the Creatr HS 3D printer.
1. Remove the drive unit and start by removing the stepper motor and the glands:
2. Next remove the push button:
3. Now the drive unit is disassembled and can be cleaned:
- use a piece of cloth to wipe the pinch wheel on the stepper motor shaft and make sure to remove any filament shavings;
- also wipe the inside of the aluminium block where the push button is mounted and make sure there is no residue;
4. Once everything is cleaned you can put the drive unit back together.
- make sure the pinch wheel and the bearing are aligned so that the filament does not clog up the drive unit when you use the printer.

We wish you happy printing!
