F.A,Q’s
Is the Zinter
®
Freedom suitable for use by children?
Almost all 3D printers use Hot Extruder’s, and utilise moving parts, and without direct and
constant supervision these parts could cause injury, if allowing children to work with 3D
Printers it is important that they are made aware of the risks and constantly supervised.
What issues may I face?
The biggest complaint users find with 3D printers is models lifting from the print bed during
the print, and this happening half way through a 6 hour print can be extremely frustrating, We
have found that applying watered down PVA glue to the print bed, or sticking masking tape
to the Glass bed before printing both help dramatically reduce occurrences of the print lifting
from the bed - the internet is full of weird and wacky solutions from hair spray to beer - we
recommend masking tape or PVA glue!
Do I have to use Zinter supplies?
You do not have to purchase your supplies from us (though we would love it if you did!)
however the results of using cheap imported filament in any 3D printer are well documented
on-line, We would recommend only sourcing quality filament through a reputable supplier -
we cannot accept any warranty claims arising from the use of filament not approved for use
in our machines.
What colours of filament are available?
There is a standard rage of about 50 colours available plus, fluorescent and glow in the dark
however we can (subject to minimum order quantities and lead times) obtain filament in
almost any colour if you wish to match an existing branding or products.
Do I require a special location to install the Zinter
®
Freedom?
All 3D printers should be located in a well ventilated room, where temperatures are
reasonably stable and the machine should be located on a stable surface capable of
carrying its weight. The Zinter
®
Range of printers do not need special ventilation systems.
