Specs and Maintenance

Specs: The Markforged Onyx Pro is a professional-grade composite desktop 3D printer featuring a 320 x 132 x 154 mm build volume, utilizing dual nozzles for Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) to embed fiberglass reinforcement into Onyx (micro carbon fiber-filled nylon) parts. Key specifications include a 100 μm minimum layer height, second-generation extruder, and Eiger cloud-based software, delivering high-strength, functional parts with a 16 kg footprint.

Maintenance: Maintenance of this piece of equipment requires a few steps. Wash the print bed with a sponge and water (no soap) to remove old glue. Remove debris from the print chamber, specifically the vacuum groove. Check nozzles and material tubes for wear or damage. Empty wiping station bins and check brushes. Plastic nozzles (3,200cc) and fiber nozzles (750cc) must be replaced when prompted by the screen banner. Adjust belts every 500 print hours. Perform a bed level calibration every 10-20 prints, or if adhesion issues occur. Periodically clean and lubricate rails.
