Safety Instructions

Building the printer will require a certain amount of physical dexterity, common sense and a

thorough understanding of what you are doing. We have provided this detailed instruction to help

you assemble it easily.

However ultimately we cannot be responsible for your health and safety whilst building or

operating the printer, with that in mind be sure you are confident with what you are doing prior to

commencing with building or buying. Read the entire manual to enable you to make an informed

decision.

Building and operating involves electricity, so all necessary precautions should be taken and

adhered to, the printer runs on 12V supplied by a certified power supply, so you shouldn’t ever have

to get involved with anything over 12V but bear in mind there can still be high currents involved

and even at 12V they shouldn’t be taken lightly.

High temperatures are involved with 3D Printing, the Extrusion nozzle of the hot end can run

about 230°C, the heated bed runs 110°C and the molten plastic extruded will initially be at around

200°C, so special care and attention should be made when handling these parts of the printer during

operation.

Check the power input of the power supply unit. You can choose either 110V or 220V

according to the Power regulation in your country.

We wouldn’t recommend leaving your printer running unattended, or at least until you are

confident to do so. We cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, threat, hurt or other

negligent result from either building or using the printer.
