Safety

Universal Safety

• Be aware of your surroundings, especially when handling large materials.
• Do not approach anyone operating equipment. Stand patiently in their field of view.
• Use PPE, including filtration and eye protection, when handling dust or emptying dust/shaving containers.

Equipment-Specific Safety

• Keep the Mars 2 Pro 3D Printer and its accessories out of the reach of children.
• Fill the resin tank no less than 1/3 of its volume, but do not exceed the MAX line position.
• Place the printer in a dry environment and protect it from rain and moisture.
• If you run into an emergency during use, please turn off the power supply of the 3D printer first.
• Use the printer indoors and avoid direct sunlight and a dusty environment.
• Use 95% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol to wash your model unless you are using water washable resin.
• If the printing fails, you need to clean the excess cured resin in the resin tank and change the resin, otherwise, it may cause damage to the printer.
• When operating the 3D printer, please wear a mask and gloves to avoid direct skin contact with the photopolymer resin.
• If the release film in the resin tank is whitened, scratched, or has no elasticity, the printing failure rate is high, please replace the release film in time.
• Be careful when removing models with sharp edges from the build platform.
• If you have any problems with the printer, please report them to Asmbly via QR code.

Etiquette

The 3D printers do not have a daily limit on booking time, but the time spent with the printers should include not only the print time, but also the additional time needed for pre-print and post-print tasks. Please incorporate this extra time when booking the printers.

Resin Safety

• Wear gloves and mask when using.
• Keep away from children, dust and direct sunlight.
• May cause an allergic skin reaction. If skin contact occurs, wash thoroughly with plenty of soap and water.
• Causes serious eye irritation. In case of eye contact, use the emergency eye flush bottles located by the sink or rinse eyes with water for 20 minutes.
• Avoid breathing vapors.

Operation (pictures encouraged)

Leveling the Bed

To level the bed, follow these steps:

1. Press "Tool" and the "Manual" on the touchscreen to enter the leveling interface.
2. Place an A4 sheet of paper on the LCD screen, ensuring both the screen and the build plate are clean.
3. Loosen the screws securing the build plate.
4. Tap the home icon to start the Z=0 process.
5. Once Z=0 is set, align the plate to avoid it touching the vat incorrectly.
6. Tighten the two screws to level the plate. There should be some resistance when pulling the paper. If there is no resistance, readjust the screws to level the plate. If there is too much resistance, lift the plate and reset Z=0 for this position.
