WELDPLAST Tech Tips

Symptom: Display arrives at desired temperature but measured temperature is more than 30C lower than the set temperature

• The element may be partially plugged: Make sure to clean off any plastic shavings and debris from your work table, or use the stand to prop up the extruder while not using it.  If the WELDPLAST lays down flat on the table for a length of time, shavings can get sucked in through the air intake and get stuck in the element, blocking the air flow.

WELDPLAST Wiring Instructions

Connecting a plug to your WELDPLAST:

• Plug specifications for the WELDPLAST S1: 20 Amp or higher; 2 pole; 3 wire; grounding; twist-lock; note mains voltage on tool label
