How to clean the lens head

[Tracy_Nation]

I have used my engraver successfully on many many projects, but trying to take the lens head out to get it cleaned and I am not sure how

Hi @Tracy_Nation, I’m so glad you are having success with your iEngrave.

You will need an Allen Wrench, Non-Woven cloth, Isopropyl Alcohol Solution.

1. Remove the connector plug at the top of your laser module.
   
   
2. While holding on to the laser module untighten the thumb screw keeping it in place.
   
   
3. Then gently slide the laser module up out of the bracket
   
   
4. Remove the laser window and air vent pipe
   
   
5. Dip a non-woven cloth or microfibre cloth in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (not to wet so the cloth isn’t dripping)
6. Use the cloth to gently wipe the laser lens clean
7. Reassemble the laser window and air vent pipe back in place.
8. And attach the laser module again.

@Tracy_Nation if you follow the steps laid out by @BellethehowtoGuru you will have it cleaned in no time. As a shortcut and if you have them laying around, I use eyeglass wipes to clean all of my laser lenses. They are usually pretreated and a small enough to get down in the tight space of the lens. Please let us know if you have any other questions and happy crafting!
