Chapter 1. Safety and Printing Environment
1.1 Safety Precautions
1. The 3DP-23-4A printer requires the power adapter provided by the original
manufacturer, otherwise the machine could be damaged or even cause fire.
Keep the power adapter away from water and out of high temperature
environments.
2.During printing, the temperature of the nozzle of the printer could reach
260°C and the temperature of print platform could be over 70°C. Do not touch
these parts with your bare hands when the printer is in the operation mode, not
even with the heat resistant gloves included in the accessories, as the
temperature could damage the gloves and injure your hands.
WARNING, HOT SURFACES!
High Temperature: Do not touch!
3. During printing, the print head and other mechanical parts move at high
speed. Touching these parts while they are moving could cause injuries.
Moving parts: Do not touch!
4. Wear goggles when removing the supporting material from models or
detaching models from the build plates.
5. When printing with plastic filaments, the process could generate light and,
for some people, annoying odor. It is recommended to run the printer in a well
ventilated environment. We also suggest to keep the printer in an environment
with a stable temperature as unwanted cooling could cause adverse effects to
the print quality.
6. When using the “Extrude” function, make sure there is enough space
between the print head nozzle and the build platform. 50mm is recommended,
otherwise the nozzle could be blocked.
7. Fasten moving parts. Tie back loose hair, secure loose clothing and keep all
printer doors closed during operation.
8. Do not leave the printer unattended during operation. Watch to make sure
the first a few layers adhere correctly.
9.The left door is automatic, do not force it to open or hinder its operation.
10. The top lid is not physically connected to the printer body, do not push the
lid, should use both hand to left the lid to avoid damage and injury.
