My printer has been “parked up” for a few weeks and this morning i wanted to use it, but decided to clean out the resin tray first.
I noticed that there was a 5x1mm rectangular indent in the silicone, pretty much smack bang in the middle. then when I went to clean up the wiper, noticed the same shape is in the middle of the underside of that, it’s like a little tooth which protrudes slightly beyond the wiper blade outer ring.
I married the 2 up and it is definitely that feature that had left a dent in the tray.
The wiper arm was in the position it parked into after the last build.
This has been reported several times, last instance I saw was :
From what I have seen on the LT tanks they seem to have removed this “feature” in the new wiper, I don’t know if they removed it on the standard tank’s wiper as well since I haven’t ordered any recently.
Thanks for that, I’ve just snipped mine off as with the first wipe for the new build (empty tray) I could see by the wipe pattern that it is going to ruin the tray (if it hasn’t already… I’m already going to have to avoid building in the dented area.
