The information in this article applies to the S series Air Manager. The UltiMaker S5 has an optional Air Manager add-on, and the UltiMaker S7 has an integrated Air Manager.
The filter in the Air Manager is a consumable part. It should be replaced every 1,500 printing hours to maintain proper filtering. Replacement filters can be purchased from one of our local resellers.
Caution: Do not change the filter of the Air Manager while the fan is in operation. Use the filter replacement procedure in the UltiMaker S5 or S7 menu. Alternatively, turn off the printer or disable the printer in UltiMaker Digital Factory to make sure the fan cannot start unexpectedly.
The function of the Air Manager’s filter is to reduce the emission of ultrafine particles. These particles will remain in the filter. The used filter should be handled with care during the replacement procedure. If the used filter is not properly handled, there is a risk of ultrafine particles being released.
