Safety Precautions
1\ The Afinia H400+ 3D printer requires the power adapter provided by the original manufac -
turer, otherwise the machine could be damaged or even cause are hazard. Please also keep
the power adapter away from water and out of high temperature environments.
2\ During printing, the nozzle of the printer will
reach 260°C and the print platform could reach
over 70°C. Please do not touch these parts with
your bare hands while they are hot not even
with the heat resistant gloves included with the
machine as the temperature could damage the
gloves and injure your hands.
Warning label:
High Temperature,
do not touch!
3\ During printing, the printhead and other
mechanical parts move at high speeds. Touch-
ing these parts while they are moving could
cause injuries.
4\ Please wear goggles when removing the support material from models and detaching
models from the perf board.
5\ When printing with ABS and PLA, the plastics will create a light odor. Please run the printer
in a well ventilated environment. We also suggest you put the printer in an environment with
a stable temperature as unwanted cooling could cause adverse effects to the print quality.
When the printer is extruding filament, make sure there is enough space between print
nozzle and the platform. Otherwise the nozzle could become blocked.
Warning Label:
Moving parts, do not
touch!
Printing Environment
The Afinia H400's ideal working enironment is temperature between 15°C and 30°C, relative
humidity between 20–50% and altitude below 2000 meters.
Printing at temperatures out of this range could cause adverse effects to the printing process.
When using the “Extrude” function, keep at least 50mm between the nozzle and the platform.
If too close, the nozzle may get blocked.
