FELIXprinters Quick Start Guide for the FELIX Tec 4
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
Do not lean on the printer.
Be careful with long hair and loose clothes.
Do not transport the printer while working.
Make sure all moving parts can move without any obstructions.
Do not remove any objects from the hot plate while printing.
Caution with any moving parts that move in the X, Y and Z
direction. At the end of each moving part there is a pinching
hazard.
Electronic safety
Only use the power supplies and cables supplied by FELIXprinters. Always turn off and unplug the printer before doing
maintenance or modications.
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.
This will keep it safe from small children.
Use the FELIXprinter in a dry environment.
Ventilate
Good ventilation while printing is advised though printing
pure PLA is considered safe. When printing ABS, small
concentrations of Styrene vapour can be released. This
can (in some cases) cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness,
confusion, drowsiness, malaise, difculty in concentrating,
and a feeling of intoxication.
We recommend using lament types shown on the FELIXprinters website. Examples PLA, PETG, ABS, PVA etc. Other
types may be toxic. Please follow instructions from the
lament supplier.
Caution with heater elements
There is a potential risk of injury, as the print head can reach
temperatures of up to 275°C and the heated bed of up to
100°C. Don’t place objects on the heated bed that are not
being printed, not even when the printer is turned off.
We do not recommend to leave the printer unattended for
a very long period of time. If you do, it is recommended to
leave it in a properly conditioned room with distance from
highly amable objects.
