SAFTY INSTRUCTIONS

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 this manual to help you assemble

it easily.

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 shouldnt 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 shouldnt be taken lightly.

High temperatures are involved with 3D Printing, the Extrusion nozzle of the hot end can run

about 230C, the heated bed runs 110C and the molten plastic extruded will initially be at around

200C, so special care and attention should be made when handling these parts of the printer during

operation.

We wouldnt 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.

Dont leave the heaters on the printer turned on for a long periods of time when not used.

Dont leave your printer in shady and moist places, which may exacerbate the problems

associated with erosion.

The three axes of the Me Creator are 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.
