+ | =Safety Instructions= | ||
− | + | Building the printer will require a certain amount of physical dexterity, common sense and a thorough understanding of what you are doing. We have provided this detailed instruction to help you assemble it easily. | |
+ | |||
+ | However ultimately we cannot be responsible for your health and safety whilst building or operating the printer, with that in mind be sure you are confident with what you are doing prior to commencing with building or buying. Read the entire manual to enable you to make an informed decision. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Building and operating involves electricity, so all necessary precautions should be taken and adhered to, the printer runs on 12V supplied by a certified power supply, so you shouldn’t ever have to get involved with anything over 12V but bear in mind there can still be high currents involved and even at 12V they shouldn’t be taken lightly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | High temperatures are involved with 3D Printing, the Extrusion nozzle of the hot end can run about 230°C, the heated bed runs 110°C and the molten plastic extruded will initially be at around 200°C, so special care and attention should be made when handling these parts of the printer during operation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We wouldn’t recommend leaving your printer running unattended, or at least until you are confident to do so. We cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, threat, hurt | ||
+ | or other negligent result from either building or using the printer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =Preparation= | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Unpack the kit and check if all parts are in the box and check the condition of each part, there might be some damage during shipping. To help you with this, there is BOM in the box and each bag was labeled with part number. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Contact our customer service immediately by email or through the website if you find any missing or damaged parts. And on the bottom of the BOM, there is a signature of reviewer, please take a picture of it and attach the picture in your mail. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Read through each chapter of these instructions to gain an over-all idea of what is involved and how long it might take, before starting on the work described. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. Before you start, you can put all the part in order to save your time especially those screws and nuts. Do not mix them up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5. Ensure you have the necessary skills to carry out the work, or enlist the help of someone who does. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. Work on a big firm table or bench in a clean dry well-lit area. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7. This kit contains tiny parts; please keep them away from kids under 3. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 8. Ask for help if you run into any problems - our contact details are on the website and we will always do our best to resolve any problems encountered. | ||

Safety Instructions
Building the printer will require a certain amount of physical dexterity, common sense and a thorough understanding of what you are doing. We have provided this detailed instruction to help you assemble it easily.
However ultimately we cannot be responsible for your health and safety whilst building or operating the printer, with that in mind be sure you are confident with what you are doing prior to commencing with building or buying. Read the entire manual to enable you to make an informed decision.
Building and operating involves electricity, so all necessary precautions should be taken and adhered to, the printer runs on 12V supplied by a certified power supply, so you shouldn’t ever have to get involved with anything over 12V but bear in mind there can still be high currents involved and even at 12V they shouldn’t be taken lightly.
High temperatures are involved with 3D Printing, the Extrusion nozzle of the hot end can run about 230°C, the heated bed runs 110°C and the molten plastic extruded will initially be at around 200°C, so special care and attention should be made when handling these parts of the printer during operation.
We wouldn’t recommend leaving your printer running unattended, or at least until you are confident to do so. We cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, threat, hurt or other negligent result from either building or using the printer.
Preparation
1. Unpack the kit and check if all parts are in the box and check the condition of each part, there might be some damage during shipping. To help you with this, there is BOM in the box and each bag was labeled with part number.
2. Contact our customer service immediately by email or through the website if you find any missing or damaged parts. And on the bottom of the BOM, there is a signature of reviewer, please take a picture of it and attach the picture in your mail.
3. Read through each chapter of these instructions to gain an over-all idea of what is involved and how long it might take, before starting on the work described.
4. Before you start, you can put all the part in order to save your time especially those screws and nuts. Do not mix them up.
5. Ensure you have the necessary skills to carry out the work, or enlist the help of someone who does.
6. Work on a big firm table or bench in a clean dry well-lit area.
7. This kit contains tiny parts; please keep them away from kids under 3.
8. Ask for help if you run into any problems - our contact details are on the website and we will always do our best to resolve any problems encountered.
