Notice for Use

This section provides safety precautions which will also appear repeatedly within this User Manual for reminding.

Warning

Please read and strictly comply with all matters in this section, as failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the printer.

Notice for Operation

  • Lifting Hazard: Due to its size and weight, do not move or reposition the printer alone.

  • Operators: Operators shoould be trained to operate the system and perform all the necessary tasks to build a part.

  • Touch Forbidden: It is forbidden to touch the model, resin tank, build platform and any other components by hand. Remember to wear disposable gloves when handling the machine.

  • Sharp Tools: AccuFab 3D printer is equipped with a set of accessories including sharp tools. Protection is required when using these tools.

Note

The electromagnetic occurring during printing meets CE / FCC standard and brings no harm.

Caution

AccuFab 3D printer shall only use the original consumables and accessories. Any change to the printer without the manufacturer's permission will invalidate the warranty.

Notice for Material

When curing resin or printing, the UV light source under the LCD screen projects 405 nm UV-LED light.

Warning

The UV Light is harmful to the eyes, so please avoid direct eye contact.

The ethanol of 75% concentration or above is recommended for cleaning liquid resin.

Warning

  • Irritation: Please wear disposable gloves when dealing with the ethanol, and always wash skin thoroughly after working with ethanol.
    • Skin Irritation: If skin contact happens, take off contaminated clothing and wash the skin area thoroughly with soap and cold water.
    • Eye Irritation: If eye contact happens, flash the eye with water and seek medical care immediately.
  • Respiratory Danger: Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly forbidden in the working area. If oral contact happens, gargle, induce vomiting and seek medical care immediately.
  • Fire Hazard: Liquid ethanol is flammable, please store it with caution.
    • Keep the container closed.
    • Store it in somewhere ventilated and cool (50 ~ 86°F / 10.0 ~ 30.0°C).
    • Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, flames, or UV energy.
  • Spill Hazard: Always keep the container upright and reseal it after use, in case of spilling over.
    If the ethanol spills, cover it with sand or the other nonflammable materials, or wash it with plenty of water and then sluice the diluted water to the wastewater system.
  • Disposal: Avoid direct contact, and deal with liquid ethanol in ventilated places collectively.

The printing material used by the Printer is photo-polymerized resin developed independently by SHINING 3D, including pure liquid resin, resin dissolved in solvants or partly cured resin (hereinafter referred to as "the Resin").

The Resin performs stable and safe in the test. However, the direct contact with the Resin may still cause eye damage or skin irritation, and other adverse irritation reactions.

In this case, please ask authorized reseller for Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before working with the Resin. When working with the Resin, please wear wear rubber oil resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye protection equipments and protective masks while following the instructions in MSDS strictly.

Caution

  • Sendiment treatment: The Resin is classified as mixtures and tends to form small amounts of sediment after standing for a period of time.
    Please follow the instruction in this manual to add resin and shake the storage container before use to reduce sediment.
  • Splash Hazard: When adding liquid resin, please keep the liquid level not higher than the MAX line in the resin tank; otherwise, the liquid resin may splash out of the tank during printing.
  • Printing Effect: Please add liquid resin in time to keep the liquid level above the MIN line in the resin tank to ensure that the model prints well.

Warning

  • Irritation: Please wear disposable gloves when dealing with the Resin, and always wash skin thoroughly after working with the Resin.
    • Skin Irritation: If skin contact happens, take off contaminated clothing and wash the skin area thoroughly with soap and COLD water.
    • Eye Irritation: If eye contact happens, flash the eye with water and seek medical care immediately.
  • Respiratory Danger: Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly forbidden in the working area. If oral contact happens, gargle, induce vomiting and seek medical care immediately.
  • Fire Hazard: The Resin is flammable, please store it with caution.
    • Store it in somewhere ventilated and cool (50 ~ 86°F / 10.0 ~ 30.0°C).
    • Store it separately from incompatible substances and avoid mixing.
    • Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, flames, or UV energy.
    • It is not suggested that the Resin be stored in oxygen-free environment, where the material could be frozen.
  • Spill Hazard: Resin may spill over the resin tank walls if the container tilts, so please always keep the resin tank upright and place it on the stable platform. Besides, resin tanks are consumable materials and should be replaced immediately when reaching the end of its working life, in case of printing failure, the spillover of the Resin, or other potential problems.
    • If a little amount of resin spills on the printer exterior, for maintaining printing effect, clean the LCD screen and the resin tank film as soon as possible.
    • More extensive resin spills that reach the inside of the printer may contaminate or erode critical components. For this case, cancel the operation and shut down the machine, keep the chamber hood closed to prevent ambient light from curing the resin, then photograph the spill and contact SHINING 3D supporter for further assistance.
  • Disposal: The Resin is classified as hazardous waste and does harm to aquatic life, so please dispose it discreetly and follow the instructions in MSDS.
