Chaper 1. Safety and Printing Environment
1.1 Safety Precautions
1.
The UP600/UP600D 3D printer uses 220V or 110V AC (depends on the
geographical location) as power input. Internally the high voltage AC will be
converted to 24V DC to power its extrusion and motion control system. The build
platform however use 110V or 220V AC directly. For safety, do not try to modify the
platform, especially the circuit of the platform’s heating system.
2. During printing, the print head and other mechanical parts move at high speed.
Due to the size and weight of the motion system, it could easily cause injuries if user
reaches to the inside of the machine during printing or other machine operations.
User should always stay outside of the machine, and do not reach to the inside when
the machine partsare moving!
3. Potential Danger to children: Due to the size of the machine, children could easily
go into the machine and close the front door. As long as the front door closed, the
printer could start printing at any moment especially it can be controlled wirelessly
and remotely. Therefore it could cause extreme danger to small children who wander
into the printer. Machine operators need to highly aware about the possibility of any
youngsters that may reach the machine. Teachers or technical personnel in
education institutes should give adequate safety training to any users that may need
to operate the machine. There is an extra USB port in internal space of the printer,
that could be used to connecting a web camera for monitoring the machine status.
4. During printing, the temperature of theextruder nozzle could reach 300°C and the
temperature of the print platform could be over 100°C. Do not touch these parts with
your bare hands when the printer is in the operation mode, not even with the heat
resistant gloves included in the accessories, as the temperature could damage the
gloves and injure your hands.
5. Wear goggles when removing the supporting material from models or detaching
models from the build plates.
6. When printing with plastic filaments, the process couldgenerateslight and, for
some people, annoying odor. It is recommended to run the printer in a well ventilated
environment. We also suggest to keep the printer in an environment with a stable
temperature as unwanted cooling could cause adverse effects to the print quality.
7. When using the “Extrude” function, make sure there is enough space between the
print head nozzle and the build platform. 50mm is recommended, otherwise the
nozzle could be blocked.
8. Fasten moving parts. Tie back loose hair, secure loose clothing and keep all
printer doors closed during operation.
9. Do not leave the printer unattended during operation. Watch the printing of the first
a few layers to make sure they adhere correctly.
