White Powder

Probably a trivial question:

My MK4 is almost 1 year old and running great.  It is used quite often but not continuously.  The lower portion of the Heatsink Fan and the Fan Shroud are both now coated with a fine white powder.  I never print white filament – usually black PLA or PETG.  What is it?  Should I clean it off or is it not important?   

Curious,

Bob

Cleaning is part of regular maintenance:  https://help.prusa3d.com/article/regular-printer-maintenance-mk4_419000

Fine particles (often due to splutter from damp filament) look white whatever their true colour because you are seeing multiple reflections and refractions from micro-surfaces.

Cheerio,
