    摘要: A wash station (10) for cleaning a downward facing printer head (12) in metal-binder jetting is proposed. The wash station (10) comprises: a frame (16); a nozzle (20) for projecting a cleaning liquid in an upward direction; a nozzle support (18) supporting the nozzle (20), wherein the nozzle support (18) is movable relative to the frame (16). The wash station (10) further comprises: an actuator (22) configured to position the nozzle support (18) in a first position and in a second position relative to the frame (16), wherein the second position is above the first position. The wash station (10) further comprises: a lid (24) configured to transition between a closed position and a first open position at a change in position of the nozzle support (18) between the first position and the second position of the nozzle support (18), wherein the lid (24) is positioned above the nozzle (20) in the closed position and is positioned beside and/or below the nozzle (20) in the first open position.
