Safety Instruction

GEEETECH
3
Building the printer will require a certain amount of physical
dexterity, common sense and a thorough understanding of what you are
doing. We have provided detailed instructions to help you assemble it
easily, please download at geeetech.com.
However ultimately we cannot be responsible for your health and
safety whilst building or operating the printer, with that in mind be sure
you are confident with what you are doing prior to commencing with
building or buying. Read the entire manual to enable you to make an
informed decision.
Building and operating involves electricity, so all necessary
precautions should be taken and adhered to, the printer runs on 12V
supplied by a certified power supply, so you shouldn’t ever have to get
involved with anything over 12V but bear in mind there can still be high
currents involved and even at 12V they shouldn’t be taken lightly.
High temperatures are involved with 3D Printing, the Extrusion
nozzle of the hot end can run about 230°C, the heated bed runs 110°C
and the molten plastic extruded will initially be at around 200°C, so
special care and attention should be made when handling these parts of
the printer during operation.
We wouldn’t recommend leaving your printer running unattended,
or at least until you are confident to do so. We cannot be held
responsible for any loss, damage, threat, hurt or other negligent result
from either building or using the printer.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
As with all the electronic equipment, it is important to keep your printer
clean to extend its life. Regularly remove dust and debris with a
microfiber cloth or compressed air. Dredge the tube and the nozzle after
use every time to ensure fluent performance.
Don’t leave the heaters on the printer turned on for a long
periods of time when not used.
Don’t leave your printer in shady and moist places, which may
exacerbate the problems associated with erosion.
The three axes of the Geeetech Prusa I3 Aluminum printer are

GEEETECH
18
lubricated with grease for smooth operation and can last for a
long time. Grease may need to be re-applied to your printer to
maintain smooth performance.
Avoid positioning your power supply unit in such a way that
the brick is hanging, pulling, or putting any unnecessary stress
in the electrical wires and components.
