Standby and Conserve Mode

NOTE: If the printer is to be used within 7 to 10 days of the last build, it is
recommended to leave your printer in either standby or conserve mode, instead
of powering off the printer.

 

If the printer is 

idle

 more than 

4 hours

, it enters 

Standby 

mode.  If the printer is idle

more than 

36 hours

, it enters

 Conserve 

mode. In these energy-saving states, the

printer heaters are partially cooled and many other components are disabled.  It takes
much less time for the printer to warm up from

 Standby 

or

 Conserve

 mode than it does

from full shutdown/power off, (see table below). To increase or decrease wait time
before the printer enters 

Standby

 mode or 

Conserve

 mode, contact 3D Systems
