For moving the printer after it has been taken out of the shipping box, you can grab it from the bottom.
When lifting the printer out of the box, it is essential to grab the printer in the correct places to not damage it.
To lift it, grab the aluminium profile in the top of the chamber located BEHIND the RGB LED mounting rail on the sides as shown below:
It is important that one grip the aluminium extrusion behind the RGB LED mounting rail, as the mounting rail will break if it is used for lifting the printer.
Since the machine weighs 37kg, it is highly recommended to be two people when lifting it - one from each side.
To access the top of the printer, remove the top protection pieces giving space for the printer to be lifted out of the crate.
These pieces include:
- Top Styrofoam sheet.
- Four foam corner pieces.
- Top protective foil.
The printer is intended to be used in an office environment with adequate ventilation and room temperature.
The printer requires an AC-outlet with earth connection for power.
For optimal working position of the operator, it is recommended to place the printer on a table, desk or other surface that is elevated approximately 80-120 cm above the floor level. Please bear in mind that the machine weighs 32kg.
For standard operations, only access from the front side of the machine is necessary.
The following items are recommended for working safely with the 3D printer Mikeespecially for performing maintenance actions:
- These are required for safely removing material residue from the tip of the nozzle.
- Thermal gloves.It is recommended to wear thermal gloves while cleaning the nozzle as the nozzle may be hot during these procedures.
3D printing thermoplastics may result in the release of Ultra Fine Particles (UFPs) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) depending on the thermoplastic used and settings of the 3D printer. Above certain concentrations (Threshold Limit Values, TLV), these emissions can pose a risk. Concentrations are influenced by the filament and adhesive used, print conditions (e.g., print temperature), room volume, Air Exchange Rate (AER), and the number of printers in a room.
Please consider other safety measures, such as a filter and/or dedicated ventilation system, depending on your specific situation.
The use of print materials / filament from different suppliers may require additional safety measures. Always check the relevant information provided by the supplier of such filament/material and safety data sheet of each specific material.
The GeBioM mbH cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects from these materials' use and/or performance.
Static magnetic field hazard. Due to the static magnetic field caused by the magnets in the printer, keep a distance of at least 4 cm between any implanted electronic medical devices and implants containing ferromagnetic materials.
There is a potential risk of burns as the nozzle/print head can reach temperatures beyond 200°C. Do not touch the nozzle with your bare hands.
Unless otherwise stated, always allow the machine to cool down for a minimum of 20 minutes before performing maintenance or modifications on the print head.
