5.8 Air Conditioning
Room
air
conditioning
must
be
designed
so
that
the
temperature
and
humidity
specifications
described
below
are
maintained
when
the
system
operates
at
full
power.
5.8.1 Temperature
The
temperature
in
the
room
containing
the
printing
system
should
be
18°
C
to
25°
C
(64.5°
F
to
77°
F).
5.8.2 Humidity
The
relative
humidity
in
the
room
containing
the
printer
should
be
30%–70%
non
‐
condensing.
The
room
requires
constant
refreshing
of
the
humid
air
by
appropriate
ventilation
units
(refer
to
Section
5.8.3,
Ventilation).
5.8.3 Ventilation
Ventilation
is
required
to
maintain
the
necessary
environment
conditions
in
the
room
where
the
printing
system
is
operated
(see
section
5.8.2).
The
ventilation
system
should
have
the
capacity
to
replace
all
of
the
air
in
the
room
four
times
an
hour.
5.9 Waste Disposal (for Model/Support Material)
The
customer
is
responsible
for
disposing
all
of
the
liquid
and
solid
waste
according
to
local
laws
and
regulations.
This
waste
also
includes
the
following:
• Wipes
and
gloves
used
for
cleaning
the
printer
• Printing
material
cartridges
5.10 Solvent/Cleaning Solution
The
customer
is
responsible
for
stocking
either
isopropanol
or
ethanol
(>96%).
At
least
one
liter
of
either
solvent
should
be
available
at
the
site
at
all
times.
The printer evacuates air using an internal blower with a capacity of 106 CFM
(cubic feet per minute) (180 m
3
per hour).
Plastic containers made from monomer-soluble materials such as polystyrene or
polyvinyl chloride should not be used for the storage of 3-D printer waste.
