spectrum z510 software problems

It is pretty easy to remove the septums. Basically it’s the following steps…

Press the metal release buttons of all four CPC connectors in the binder supply area. This will allow you to remove the amount of binder from the line that would otherwise run everywhere making a mess. I use a bleeding kit of all four binders.

Using a a mirror or if you know how, remove the entire gantry. On the underside, you will see the four vinyl tubes. With a slight tug, they should pull off. Last step is to remove the four E-clips. At that point, the septums should lift out. Be sure to hold onto the PE washer from topside as well as the E-clips.

Any chance you could get your hands on the binder bottles for a Z510? Mine came without them…

Sorry, I don’t have any of those but people have searched for Nalgene jerrican and had success. The fittings are made by CPC and were hand configured by ZCorp. You might be able to order from 3DS but I’d be afraid of the cost. I know for sure that the Z310 bottles were custom for that unit. You are fortunate to have the Z510. While you are on CPCs website, you will probably find a good replacement for the leaky multipoint connector.

Good luck

Thank you. Can you send me your contact details via email and we can work out the septum replacements. Also I would be interested in what parts you have for the 510. Thank you! jimmineycricket1 (at symbol) yahoo.com

Good to see that you are up and running I never had a 310 machine, I waited to purchase until the Spectrum z-510 was released in 2006. The first machine I bought is sold, but I still have a 2007model Z-510 in the office. Since I newer had the 310, I could not speak for that actual machine, but hooking up the Z-510 thru Z-print have many times been a struggle thru the years. We always had a dual network card in the computer operating the printer, where one card was dedicated for the z-510. Hooking it up thru the network never was a hit. Remember we bought a laptop for the lab to operate the printer, and I almost gave up getting it online even with a manually setup fixed IP…

Thanks! I wouldnt say up and running quite yet, but at least connected!! The whole connection thing was a little bit bizarre. Now its time to fine cartridges, tubing, filters and clean everything!!! Do you have the pressing part to remove airpockets from the powder? does it has holds in it? I might make one but cant find pictures of it.

Thank you,

It’s a straight forward perforatet steel sheet with the area of the build chamber (5-10 mm less) It’s got a typical drawer handle on the middle. The sheet is 1,5-2 mm thick

Sorry no pic’s, just got home now

Luis_1 · 2016-10-17T18:38:35.000Z

Awesome I just wanted to know if it had, holes in it! Thank you!

designanything3 · 2016-11-15T17:13:44.000Z

Does anyone know a good source for the binder filters?

jhernandez · 2017-01-06T17:40:37.000Z

Hi every body,

I have a Z510 too, that I didn’t use for a long time. I can’t find my ZPrint anymore (it has been thrown by IT guys…). The only release I found is 7.15 but the setting only proposes Zprinter 150, 250, 350, 450, 650 & 850.
I searched without any success to download it… It would be really great if one of yours could share an old release like 7.10 or further.

Luis_1 · 2017-01-08T04:04:23.000Z

Hi!

Try this one, I think this is where I got it a couple of months ago.

Try to run it as administrator

JerryK · 2017-01-23T10:34:18.000Z

Hey guys, sorry for the nooby questions but how do you bleed the lines and clear out all the gunk? Im afraid I might have air in the spetum tank as printhead 0 is in overtemp but Im wanting to completely flush out each line. Any instructions or link on how to do this would be a huuuuuuuuge help

designanything3 · 2017-01-23T16:08:35.000Z

If the machine hasn’t had it done I would just replace all the lines. But to flush all you need to do is draw distilled water through using your purge tool.

JerryK · 2017-01-24T05:47:43.000Z

Thanks for the reply. What is the purge tool and how does it look like? I don’t think I received it with my printer.

JerryK · 2017-01-26T04:20:41.000Z

Hi David, where abouts are you located? I’ve been refursbishing a z510 and the septum tank nozzles are rotten. They literally break right off when trying to pull off the tubing.
