***Safety Warnings***
Read this manual completely before making your first 3D Print
Burn Hazard:
The NW3D Print Head is capable of reaching temperatures in excess
of 300°C (575°F). Allow the Print Head to completely cool before servicing.
This may take 15 minutes or more. If in doubt, wear protective gloves.
The exit temperature of the Extruded Plastic will be at the Temperature of
the Nozzle. Do not touch the melted plastic as it may stick to your skin and
cause burns.
Fire Hazard:
Do not place flammable materials near the Print Head. Do not spray
flammable materials such as Hair Spray onto the Print Area when the Print
Head is hot.
Electric Shock Hazard:
The Cartridge Heater used in the NW3D Print Head runs at Mains
Voltage (either 110v in the USA or 220v in most other Countries). Do not
open the control box, service the Print Head, or move the Control Box
unless the main power cord is disconnected. Do not place the Control box
in an area that may be affected by moisture.
Mechanical Hazard:
Do not place fingers, loose clothing, or hair near the Print Head when
the machine is operating.
