¶ Dimentions
¶ Environmental Requirements
¶ Temperature
- Operating Temperature Range: 15°C to 30°C or (59°F to 86°F).
- Maintaining this range helps ensure that the printer operates efficiently without risking overheating or thermal instability.
¶ Humidity
- Keep the environment reasonably dry (normal indoor humidity levels).
- A dehumidifier or climate control system may be used if you are located in a very humid environment.
¶ Power Requirements
¶ Max Printing Power Consumption
- Max Power Draw: The printer is designed to operate at a maximum of 20A at 110V. This specification ensures that even under peak operating conditions, the system remains within safe electrical limits.
¶ Normal Printing Power Consumption
During normal printing, the power consumption will depend on the type of material used:
- Lower-Temp Materials (e.g., Nylon, ABS): The total power draw averages around 700 - 1000 watts.
- High-Temp Materials: The power draw can increase to approximately 1000 - 1200 watts, depending on the specific material and the required heat settings.
¶ Troubleshooting Tips & FAQs
- If the printer trips the circuit breaker:
- Verify you are using a dedicated circuit rated for 20 amps.
- Check that no other high-power appliances (e.g., heaters, air conditioners) share the same circuit.
- If ambient temperature goes above 30°C (86°F):
- The printer’s cooling system may have to work harder, risking overheating.
- Consider using an air-conditioned environment or relocate the printer to a cooler area.
- If ambient temperature is below 15°C (59°F):
- Chamber temperature may not be reached, and you risk under-heating for certain materials.
¶ Conclusion & Additional Resources
By adhering to these installation requirements—ensuring proper space, temperature, humidity, and power—you’ll set a solid foundation for successful printing.
