WaterJet Support Table/Counter Specifications 4 Site Requirements The following factors should be considered when choosing a suitable location for the WaterJet unit: • Type of configuration: countertop or floor • Proximity to the Stratasys 3D printer. To avoid water damage to the printer, install the WaterJet in another room or at least 5 meters (16.5 feet) away from the printer. • Proximity to an area where models can be soaked in caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), and where they can dry after WaterJet treatment. 4.1 WaterJet Support Table/Counter Specifications The recommended height of the table/counter is 80 cm (31 inches). This establishes a height of 120 cm (47.2 inches) at arm level for the average person. The support table or counter must be sturdy capable of carrying a load of at least 30 kg (66 lb). The table must be level. Warning: Two people are required to lift the WaterJet unit onto the table. - Page 16 Objet WaterJet Site Preparation Guide Site Requirements A water filter is also recommended to protect the water pressure pump.
