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 surface.

- Place the printer out of reach of children. 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.
