## Make the most of every cycle

- **Start with clean parts.** Remove all loose powder before every run.
- **Plan the chamber.** The SFX chamber rewards careful loading. See [Know your chamber: sizes and cycle times across the SF range](https://amtechnologies.com/community/guides/know-your-chamber/) and [How part orientation and fixturing affect results](https://amtechnologies.com/community/guides/orientation-and-fixturing/).
- **Keep consumables on hand.** Reorder PostPro Pure before you run out: [order from AMT](https://amtechnologies.com/shop/).
- **Cover.** AMT offers SFX-traCare care packs for the SFX. [Contact AMT](https://amtechnologies.com/contact-us/) about the options for your machine.
- **Something wrong?** That is a support case: [How to get help fast: support, orders, quotes and the forum](https://amtechnologies.com/community/guides/how-to-get-help/).
