First post... so sorry if this isn't a great spot for it.

I purchased an Objet24 printer and have been working on getting it printing.

My vacuum keeps drawing resin into the vacuum line and eventually the pump. If I had to guess, I'd say it is just the support material as the machine is showing a reduction in that available material.

Does anyone know why this may be occurring? My best guess is that either the heads are clogged despite my cleaning or that there is some seal or vacuum valve in the print head assembly that is malfunctioning.

Any suggestions of what I should do or perhaps a forum that I may find technical help on this?

There's a bunch of people on here that do 3D Printing so I'm sure you'll have an answer come along, unfortunately I am not one of them. Welcome to the forums by the way!

Hey there! Welcome to the community! It was high time Iscored with that resin problem yeah it is like the printer is on some weird @$$ trip sometimes. I recall once when I almost destroyed my own machine due to the fact that it was pulling the filament far from the extruder instead of extruding it. In reality it was a small debris that disrupted everything. Have you check any break or leakage in the vacuum line or cleaned up the heads of these?
