The 3D printer Mike contains moving parts. The force of the print bed is large enough to cause damage, so stay away from the print bed during operation.
Keep away from the drive belts at any time. There is a risk of pinching when in operation.
Always unplug the machine before performing cleaning or service tasks, unless otherwise specified.
The power supply should not be tampered with. If it needs to be replaced due to malfunction, it must only be replaced with the same type of power supply by authorized personnel.
|
| An earthed main socket must be used. Be sure that the building installation has dedicated means for over-current and short-circuiting.
|
| Always unplug the machine before performing maintenance and service operations, unless otherwise specified.
|
| Only trained personnel should reach into the control chamber of the machine (accessible from the bottom cover of the machine), containing the electrical and electronic parts.
|
| Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases or cups, on top, around or inside the machine. Use care not to spill liquids into the system. They can cause a failure and/or a fire hazard.

The 3D printer Mike shall only be used after reading the safety instructions and user manual.
Do not use the printer’s cabinet/chamber for any kind of storage.
Always control the 3D printer Mike using the front panel touch screen and/or the power switch at the back.
Do not insert other material in the print head than the compatible filament.
Keep the cabinet’s front panel/door closed while the machine is in operation mode. Never reach inside the machine during the printing process.
The main chamber of the machine (printing chamber) has background lighting, indicating the machine state. The safe conditions to open the front panel/door and reach inside the chamber are „Paused“, „Idle“ and “Print done” signaled by steady or blinking green light respectively.
All other light colors show „operating“ modes where the chamber must be closed. More details on the background lighting in the User Guide/ Machine Instructions.
Do not reach inside the printing chamber from the upper side of the cabinet. Only use the designated front panel/door when retrieving the printed object, cleaning and maintenance purposes.
Do not touch the nozzle/print head when reaching inside the cabinet to retrieve the printed product. Nozzle parts become hot during printing.
Do not change any spare parts while the machine is in operation mode unless explicitly stated otherwise due to maintenance or service reasons.
Always change the filament using the control panel by following the standard procedure.
The 3D printer Mike is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical and/or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been given instructions concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should never use the machine unattended.
When moving the machine, always lift it from the bottom. Do not lift the machine by its sides. There is a high risk of damaging the printer’s functional structure. For unpacking the machine, see User Guide instructions.
The 3D printer Mike is a Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. Its purpose is to transform digital 3D models of insoles designed in GP Manager InsoleCAD computer-aided design (CAD) software into physical objects (insoles) by depositing melted thermoplastic material (called filament) layer by layer.
Printer is specifically designed to work with the Filament Addigy® FPU 79AR8 from Covestro. Although the printer accepts other filaments (brand and/or material type), using such will not provide optimal results and in some cases may cause permanent damage to the machine.
Warning: Using filaments that are not authorized by the manufacturer/sales representative will void the warranty of the printer.
