Risk of burns:
There is a potential risk of burns as the Printer head (extruder) can reach up to 270°C. The use of common sense should be sufficient to
prevent burns, but in some environments it is highly recommended to provide additional protection. (see § Mechanical safety and protection)
!
Always let the 3D printer cool down for 60 min. before maintenance or modification.
Health:
This printer is designed for use with PLA and ABS filament (MSDS for the Velleman filament is available).
PLA: is a safe and non-toxic material, there are no known health safety risks when used in 3D printers.
ABS: when printing with ABS there is a distinctive 'burned plastic' smell. This is quite normal but it may also cause headaches, res-
piratory- and eye irritation with sensitive people (although it is not toxic)
Only use the printer in a well-ventilated area, if printing with ABS it is advisable to add a fume hood (with active carbon
!
filtering for ductless extraction). Fume extraction is mandatory for use in offices, classrooms and alike.
Never burn printer filament, toxic gasses and vapors will be generated if exposed to fire.
