PLACEMENT
• Locate the Eastwood Genesis FDM 3D printer in a secure area away from
children, pets, and adverse environmental factors.
• Place on a surface that is sturdy and will not rock or sway.
• Strong airflow in the direct vicinity of the printer can have an adverse effect
on printing performance. Place away from fans or air conditioning vents.
• Provide adequate space around the unit to allow the gantry to traverse
unimpeded.
• 3D printing filament material creates toxic fumes and odor as the plastic is
extruded out of the nozzle. 3D printing in an unventilated area can pose an
inhalation risk. It is recommended to utilize the printer in a large space away
from the regular living space, such as a garage or shop.
• The printer may suffer performance problems in excessive ambient temperatures.
Room temperature is ideal however, if required, printing can be done in 50° -
100°F [10° – 37.8°C] environments.
POWERING ON
• The Eastwood Genesis FDM 3D Printer requires NEMA 5-15R receptacle on a
100-120VAC household circuit with at least a 10A breaker.
• Verify the power supply is in 100-120VAC mode for North American household
circuits (FIG 29). If the printer is being used in a location, such as Europe, where
200-240VAC power is standard the switch can be flipped the other way.
• Plug the connector on the power cord [N] into the rear of the machine, then plug
the other end into a suitable receptacle.
• Move the rocker switch on the rear of the machine to the "UP" position to power
up. The screen will display a brief loading sequence before showing the main
screen (FIG 30).
