3.1 Component and subsystem safety
3.1.1 General
The Fuse 1 requires a 230 VAC (50 Hz), 7.5 A power supply (EU) or 120 VAC (60
Hz), 15 A power supply (US) for nominal operation. Unless explicitly instructed by
Formlabs Support or a certified service provider, do not disassemble or tamper with
the product beyond what is explicitly outlined for typical maintenance. Tampering
with, or disassembling the Fuse 1 prior to disconnecting the power cable and waiting
approximately ten minutes can subject users to potentially fatal electrical hazards.
The Fuse 1’s print enclosure is designed to operate at up to 200 °C (392 °F) and
incorporates high-intensity heaters. Do not open the print enclosure or any other
access doors on the printer during or immediately after a print. Do not handle parts
from a build chamber without allowing the entire print enclosure to cool for several
hours, or until the print bed temperature has reached ≤ 45 ºC (113 °F). Use the
provided thermal-insulating silicone gloves when removing a build chamber that
has not been allowed to cool down. Failure to follow these procedures will result in
serious injuries, including burning and/or scalding of skin.
Due to its size and weight, do not move or reposition the Fuse 1 alone. If the machine
needs to be moved, at least two or more individuals should use the lifting straps
provided with the printer.
Do not lift or reposition the Fuse 1:
• By grabbing or pulling on the print enclosure door, hopper, hopper lid, filter
compartment, filter door, power cable, or any components inside the print
enclosure.
• By pushing on any side of the unit while stationary.
• When the build chamber from a previous print is loaded or still cooling in the print
enclosure.
• When the print enclosure is still hot from a previous print.
The Fuse 1 requires an operating environment that is low in ambient humidity and
static electricity. Due to the sensitive nature of its components and the printing
mediums, system reliability and print quality may fluctuate if the ambient temperature
and moisture are outside the recommended ranges. Refer to section 4.1 Location and
environs for the recommended operating environs. When performing maintenance or
testing with the exterior paneling of the machine removed, ground equipment to the
grounding stud marked with this protective earth symbol.
