  2. Vacuum the ventilation grilles thoroughly to remove any dust clumps.
  3. Check if the fan blades are stuck; clean gently if accessible.
  4. Power on and listen for fan engagement; the printer should ramp up cooling automatically.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Maintain at least 10 cm of clearance around the printer for airflow. Perform a dust-removal cleaning once a quarter to protect your cooling hardware.
