1. Introduction
1.1. How to use this manual
This User Manual is divided into five sections which cover the Introduction, Overview,
Installation, Operation, and Troubleshooting. Please study this manual carefully before
installation, and use the printer according to these instructions. Keep this manual handy
and refer to it when necessary.
1.2. Precautions
Please read this section carefully before using the printer.
1.2.1. Safety
The printer can only be used with the power adapters supplied by this company, or the
product may be damaged, with a risk of fire.
To avoid burning, or model deformation, do not touch the model, nozzle, or the platform by
hand, or any other part of the body, while the printer is working or immediately after it has
finished printing.
Protective glasses should always be worn when removing support material. The brown
sections of the currently supplied gloves melt at around 200 degrees, therefore please do
not hold the extruder block with the gloves.
There is a slight smell from filament material when it is being extruded. The smell is,
however, not too unpleasant. Operate in a well ventilated room but draft free, as draft will
potentially cause warping.
1.2.2. Protection
•The printer must not be exposed to water or rain to avoid damage
•Do not shut down the printer or pull out the USB cable when loading a digital model or the
model data may be lost.
•The printer is designed to work properly at an ambient temperature of between 15°C and
30°C and humidity of between 20% and 50%. Operating outside these limits may result in
low quality models.
• Please turn off the printer when mini SD card needs to be inserted or pulled out to avoid
damage to printer.
• We are not responsible for any damage caused by filament material purchased from
outside of 3D Prototyping and not authorized by 3D Prototyping.
