Allow the printer to cool down for 30 minutes before performing any
maintenance or troubleshooting.

force of the vertical movement is big enough to give physical damage. Keep your
hands out while the printer is in operation or while the top platform is moving.

The print-head can reach temperatures up to 210 . Do not touch the print-head
strongly advise against reaching inside the machine while the printhead is still hot.

materials may damage the print-head. The use of materials other than PLA is
prohibited. Printing with pure PLA is considered safe, although good room ventilation is
still advised for possible unknown vapors released from coloring dyes in colored PLA.
