Safety instructions
Please note that the safety instructions for your 3D printer apply here as well.
- The device is for indoor use only. Do not expose the product to direct sunlight, rain, or snow. Always keep the Enclosure in a dry environment. Leave at least 5 cm around the enclosure for ventilation.
- Always place the Enclosure in a stable place, where it cannot fall or tip over. Stacking more Enclosures on top of each other is allowed only when they are secured using the Original Prusa Stack add-on.
- Do not reach inside the Enclosure while the printer is still in operation. An injury may be caused by its moving parts.
- Prevent children from unsupervised access to the Enclosure even when the printer is not printing.
- Materials such as ABS may produce fumes during printing. Do not inhale fumes coming through the holes and gaps in the box as they may cause health issues. Set up the Enclosure in a well-ventilated place.
- If you want to lift or move the Enclosure with a 3D printer inside, use a two person lift technique.
- Do not block the air outlets on the Original Prusa Enclosure. This can cause severe damage to the Original Prusa Enclosure and the 3D printer placed inside the Original Prusa Enclosure.
- Do not install any additional heaters into the enclosure! Make sure the temperature in the enclosure does not exceed 42 °C / 107 °F.
Introduction Original Prusa Enclosure is compatible with the Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ 3D printer. The Original Prusa Enclosure provides the following functions:l
- Safety: Contains fumes and odors which are produced by certain filaments during printing – once the print finishes, open the window and then open the enclosure to quickly vent the air. Prevent unauthorized access to your 3D printer by installing an optional lock (sold separately) on the enclosure’s door.
- Silence: Reduces the noise of a running 3D printer.
- Stability: Creates a stable printing environment with increased temperature – this prevents failed prints caused by draft. Increased temperature reduces the warping of printed materials. WARNING: With ambient temperatures over 27°C, the temperature inside the enclosure may be too high for printing PLA and the nozzle may become clogged.
Maintenance
To ensure a trouble-free operation of your enclosure, it’s recommended to follow the simple maintenance instructions listed below. Remember to unplug the printer and/or enclosure electronics before performing maintenance.
- Make sure the printer and its surroundings are kept clean. Bits and pieces of filament can accumulate around and in the printer. Either remove the immediately or perform regular cleaning from time to time to prevent the filament from getting into the moving parts of the printer. Take the printer out of the enclosure and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the debris.
- The transparent panels on the sides of the enclosure should be cleaned using lukewarm water with mild soap. You can also use a slightly acidic, neutral or slightly alkaline detergent in combination with a soft clean sponge. Rinse well afterward with clean water and dry with a chamois leather or a moist cellulose sponge. Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners, acetone, benzene, leaded gasoline or carbon tetrachloride.
- When you’re printing in an enclosure regularly, it is recommended to carry out maintenance more frequently than stated in the printer’s handbook.
