SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before you get started, please read these important safety instructions. 

CAUTION: 

The Cocoon Create ModelMaker 3D Printer generates high temperatures and includes 

moving parts that can cause injury. Never reach inside of the ModelMaker 3D Printer while it is in 
operation, and allow time for the printer to cool down after operation.

Always use the ModelMaker 3D Printer in an open, well ventilated area as vapours/fumes 
created at operating temperatures may be irritating.

Do not leave the ModelMaker 3D Printer unattended during operation.

Contact with extruded material may cause burns. Wait for printed objects to cool before 
removing them from the build platform.

Always take care when using the Scraper. Never direct the Scraper towards your fingers.

Only use the ModelMaker 3D Printer in a clear working area.

•  The printer must not be exposed to water, moisture or rain, or damage will occur.
•  The printer is designed to be used with ambient temperature ranging 15°C - 30°C, and humidity 

ranging 20% - 50%. Operating outside these limits may result in lower quality models.

•  In case of emergency, turn off the 3D printer at the power outlet. 
•  It is recommended that you use eye protection when cleaning/sanding printed models to avoid small 

particles contacting eyes.

•  Please read and understand the contents of this installation and user manual carefully. Failure to read 

the manual may lead to personal injury, inferior results, or damage to the ModelMaker 3D Printer. 
Always make sure that anyone who uses the 3D printer knows and understand the contents of the 
manual to make the most out of the ModelMaker 3D Printer.

•  The ModelMaker 3D Printer is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical and /or mental 

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•  Children should be under constant supervision when using the printer.
•  Before Installation, you should make sure that the ModelMaker 3D Printer is unplugged from the 

power supply. Only use furniture that can safely support ModelMaker 3D Printer.

•  Ensure the mains socket-outlet is near the equipment and is easily accessible.

ModelMaker 3D Printer has been tested according to the AS/NZS 60950-1, Which falls under the low 
voltage directive. ModelMaker 3D Printer must be used in conjunction with the original power cord. 
In combination, they guarantee safe use in relation to short-circuit, overload, over voltage and over 
temperature. Always unplug the printer before doing maintenance or modifications.
