STANDBY AND CONSERVE MODE
NOTE: If the 3D printer system is to be used within 7 to 10 days of the last build, it is recommended to leave your 3D printer system in
either standby or conserve mode, instead of powering off the 3D printer system.
If the 3D printer system is idle more than 5 hours, it enters Standby
mode.
If the 3D printer system is idle more than 36 hours, it enters
Conserve mode. In these energy-saving states, the heaters are partially cooled and many other components are disabled. It takes much less
time for the 3D printer system 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 3D printer system enters Standby mode or Conserve mode, contact 3D Systems Technical Support
