1 INTRODUCTION
1.3 Safety
WARNING: The 3DMakerWorld Artifex 2 3D Printer generates high temperature and con-
tains fast moving mechanical parts which may cause injury or damage. Please follow the
guidelines carefully to operate the printer safely. 3D Maker World assumes no liability for
any loss or injury caused by operating the Artifex 2 3D Printer.
•
Provide sufficient clear space around the printer to permit free motion of moving parts,
including the front-back movement of build platform, the up-down movement of X-axis
assembly, and the rotation of filament spool.
•
When the printer is in operation, never touch moving parts, including belts, pulleys,
motor shafts, rail carriages, and lead screws.
•
Never touch the extruder nozzle and heated bed without turning off the power and
allowing them to completely cool down.
•
Always power off the printer and disconnect USB cable before any service or trou-
bleshooting operation.
•
Always discharge yourself by touching a grounded source before touching the electron-
ics.
•
Never leave flammable materials near printer.
•
Place the printer in a well-ventilated area for printing with ABS filaments.
1.4 Acknowledgements
First, we would like to thank Maxbot for his design of MendelMax 2, which is arguably
one of the most compact desktop 3D printer designs considering the build volume and foot
print. The overall structure is what the Artifex and Artifex 2 3D printers were built upon.
Through improved product features and expanded functionalities, we believe Artifex 2 can
offer the next level of excellence to enable your 3D printing capability.
Secondly, we would like to thank the developers of open source programs used in the
Artifex 2 software toolchain, including:
•
Repetier-Host: the 3D printing user interface
•
CuraEngine, Slic3r: G-code generators, included in the Repetier-Host
•
Marlin: the firmware of 3D printer
•
Arduino: used to upload and edit the firmware of Artifex 3D Printer
