1 Safety
General safety
- Keep children under the age of 14 out of reach of the printer
- FELIXprinters are only suitable for professional use.
Considerations when in operation.
- Don’t leave the printer unattended, before making sure the
first layer is printed properly
- Don’t lean on the printer.
- Be careful with long hair and wide clothes.
- Don’t transport the printer.
- Make sure all moving parts can move without any obstructions.
- Don’t remove any objects from the hot plate while printing.
- Caution with any moving parts that move in the X, Y and Z
direction. Moving parts can have a pinching hazard.
Electronic safety
- Only use the power supplies and cables supplied by
FELIXprinters. Always turn off and unplug the printer before
performing maintenance or modifications.
- The power supply meets all CE mark regulations and is
protected against short-circuit, overload, over voltage and over
temperature.
Printer placement
- Place the FELIXprinter on a stable table/desk or something with
a similar height.
- Place the printer on a height where children cannot reach it.
Use the FELIXprinter in a dry environment at room temperature.
Ventilate
- Good ventilation while printing is advised. When printing
ABS, small concentrations of styrene vapor can be released.
This can (in some cases) cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness,
confusion, drowsiness, malaise, difficulty in concentrating,
and a feeling of intoxication.
- We recommend using filament types shown on the
FELIXprinters website. Examples PLA, PETG, ABS-X,
Glassbend etc. Other types may be toxic; please follow
instructions from the filament supplier.
Caution with heater elements
- There is a potential risk of burn, as the print head can reach
temperatures of up to 275°C and the heated bed of up to
105°C.
- Don’t place objects on the heated bed, not even when the
printer is turned off.
- Always let the printer cool down for at least 5 minutes before
doing maintenance or modifications.
