Operating Environment
Locate the 3D printer system in a convenient location meeting the requirements speci ed in this document. To ensure optimum performance, it is
important that the printer be installed in a clean, dry, air-conditioned room. Avoid placing the printer in any environment with airborne contaminants,
including cigarette smoke, fumes, and mechanical particulates that can adversely affect the long term functioning of the equipment.
Each 3D printer system undergoes an operational test at the factory, and is shipped with (2) full cartridges of part material and (2) full cartridges of
support material.
Caution: Estimated printing times can be off if ambient temperature exceeds what is required.
Using VisiJet® M2G-DUR (ProFlex) and VisiJet® M2G-CL (Armor)
The (2) engineering materials, VisiJet M2G-DUR (ProFlex) and VisiJet M2G-CL (Armor) use advanced chemistry that produces a stronger odor that
may not be suitable for all o ce environments. There are no safety hazards in the odor but this could be a nuisance, especially to people who are
generally hypersensitive to strong odors.
Air Conditioning
A number of the ProJet® MJP 2500 System’s internal electronic components as well as the part material, are sensitive both to ambient temperature
and, to some extent, humidity. In addition, the build process itself can be temperature-sensitive within certain limits. The operating temperature range
should be between 18-28°C (64-82°F); optimal temperatures being 18-24°C (64-75°F).
The facility air conditioning system where the printer is operating should be capable of dissipating 1.0 kW (3412 Btu or 0.28 ton U.S. refrigeration) of
heat or equivalent to temperature requirements. Ensure that any air conditioning ducting does not vent directly onto the 3D printer system. Its is
recommended to place the machine in a room that has (4) air turnover cycles per hour.
Humidity
Humidity should be maintained at 30 to 70% RH.
Lighting
The 3D printer system is equipped with its own internal light build chamber, and back lit operating panel control with display. Normal area lighting is
necessary for operation and service of this system. Indoor lighting such as uorescent or LED is the best lighting for the system. Do not place the
printer next to a window that receives partial or direct sunlight.
Vibration and Shock
The printer consists of many precision mechanical and sensing systems that are sensitive to vibration during the build process. To maximize the
quality and accuracy of the build, it is required that the unit not be near heavy machinery or any source causing high vibration or shock (i.e. exterior
walls near train tracks or airports).
Location
Do not place the printer next to a window that receives partial or direct sunlight.
Noise
