Chapter 1 Safety and Compliance

In this manual, Safety Alert Symbols will be marked at the start of all safety messages. The Safety Alert Symbol means potential safety hazards, which may possibly harm you or others and potentially cause product or property loss.

Safety Alert Symbol

WARNING: HOT SURFACE - DO NOT TOUCH

Desktop 3D Printers reach high temperatures when printing. Make sure the Desktop 3D Printer is given time to cool down before touching printer parts.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS MOVING PARTS - KEEP FINGERS AND

OTHER BODY PARTS AWAY

The moving parts of the Desktop 3D Printer will po ssibly cause harm. Do not touch the Desktop 3D Printer when the printer is r unni ng.

WARNING: Make sure you do not stand too close to the Desktop 3D Printer when it is running.

CAUTION: Be careful when using unapproved m at erials, these may damage your Printer and significantly impact on the print quality.

CAUTION: In an emergency, disconnect the power plug from the power socket.

CAUTION: Ensure that the power socket is located n ear the Printer and within reach in case of an emergency.

CAUTION: Place the Desktop 3D Printer in a well-ventilated area as the melted plastic may emit plastic odor when printing.

Chapter 3 Print Principle

The DIY 3D Printer makes solid, three-dimensional objects by melting PRINT-RITE PLA filament. The designed 3D files are converted into DIY 3D Printer command through computer software called “Repetier-Host” this is then sent to the printer via a USB Cable. Then, the printer will heat up and melt PRINT-RITE PLA filament and extrude it from the nozzle to make a solid object layer by layer. This method is called Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM.
