3D Printer Safety Guidelines
1. Ask for instructor’s permission before using the
3D printer.
2. Always wear sanitized safety glasses with ANSI

Z87.1 markings while operating and observing the
3D printer, removing the model from the platform,
and removing the support material.
3. Run the printer at the temperature specified by the

manufacturer.
4. Make all adjustments with the power turned off.

5. DO NOT touch the print nozzle.
6. Select the correct scale and other settings to print

your model.
7. Properly load the platform tray so it is level.
8. Doors of the printer must remain closed for the

entire operation.
9. Once printer is completely finished, remove the

platform (may still be HOT and require heat
insulated gloves), and carefully remove the model
using a putty knife.
10. Remove all support material from the printing
platform to ensure a smooth surface for the next
print.
11. Some printers allow the removal of support
material by carefully using chisels, pliers, and
wire cutters.
12. Some support material must be removed using
hazardous chemicals. Refer to the manufacturer
instructions provided with these chemicals. To
avoid contact with skin, some removal chemicals
require the use of neoprene gloves, sanitized
chemical splash goggles with ANSI Z87.1
markings, and steel or plastic (not aluminum)
tongs.
13. If chemical manufacturer specifies, have a source
of fresh water nearby to rinse chemical solutions
from your skin or the model.
14. Chemical removal should not be conducted in an

explosive atmosphere.
15. Only use the printer in a well-ventilated area

which can accommodate potentially hazardous
vapors and fumes!
16. Follow all safety precautions provided by the

manufacturer.
