models easy through its reliably simple hardware and software design.
Safety Precautions
Please read this section carefully before using the printer.
• The printer can only be used with the power adapters supplied by this company, or the
product may be damaged, with a risk of fire.
• To avoid burning or model deformation, do not touch the model, nozzle, or the platform by
hand or any other part of the body while the printer is working or immediately after it has
finished printing.
• Protective glasses should always be worn when removing support material, especially
PLA.
• The brown sections of the currently supplied gloves melt at around 200º C; please do not
hold the extruder block with the gloves.
• There is a slight smell from ABS when it is being extruded. A well-ventilated room is
recommended; however when printing, keep the printer away from any drafts as this can
affect the warping of ABS prints.
• When ABS is burnt it releases toxic fumes. Never set the nozzle temperature high
enough to burn the material.
The following classifications are used in this manual:
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in serious injury.
GLOVES: When performing certain maintenance procedures, the machine may
be hot and gloves are required to avoid burns.
SAFETY GLASSES: Wear safety glasses to avoid injury to your eyes.
Protection
• The printer must not be exposed to water or rain, or damage may occur.
• Do not shut down the Afinia H-Series 3D System or pull out the USB cable when loading a
digital model or the model data may be lost.
• When using the “Extrude” function, keep at least 50mm between the nozzle and the
platform. If too close, the nozzle may get blocked.
• The printer is designed to work properly at an ambient temperature of between 60°F and
85°F and humidity of between 20% and 50%. Operating outside these limits may result
in low quality models.
