For the ICARUS 3D M2 kit version the radiated EMC depends substantially on the
build quality. It might be required to add shielding but this cannot be predicted.
Risk of injury : mechanical safety and protection
The 3D printer contains a lot of moving parts, but the force of the stepper motors is too
low to cause serious injuries. Nevertheless it is recommended to provide additional
protection against mechanical risks.
For the ICARUS 3D M2 kit version, the easiest way to ensure safety is to put the
device in a protective enclosure which completely covers the 3D printer – with or
without an access door and fume extraction. (Numerous designs can be found online.)
We can provide you with an adequate enclosure specifically built for this purpose.
Providing adequate protection is the responsibility of the assembler.
Always cut power before maintenance or modification !
Do not open the printer door while the machine is in operation !
Do not disable any safety measures taken by the
manufacturer !
The kit version of the ICARUS 3D M2 is compliant with the Machine Directive
2006/42/EC as a part of a machine. This means you have to follow all safety
precautions in this manual before using this product. The safe assembly of the
machine is your responsibility ! Do not use this product without a protective and safe
enclosure !
Risk of burns :
There is a potential risk of burns as the printer head (the extruder) can reach up to
270°C. Therefore we recommend that this device is built into a protective enclosure
which protects the user from potential injury.
Always let the 3D printer cool down for 60 minutes before doing
any sort of maintenance or modification !
The hotbed can become very hot. Do not touch the hotbed !
Do not reach into the machine while it is printing !
