Allow yourself ample space to unbox and install the machine.
The machine alone weighs approximately 65 kg (143lbs) and thus requires two people to lift or move.
The machine should be operated indoors within the nominal temperature range of 10-35℃.
The machine should be placed on a rigid and level surface. You need a sturdy table, a cheap IKEA table will break and drop the printer on the floor!
The recommended space requirements for the machine are 100 cm by 70 cm with at least 120 cm height to allow for the enclosure lid to open. If placed on a table or work surface, the surface should be able to support 65 kg. See Table Options for HS3 for an idea of what we recommend.
The machine is powered from a standard 120VAC 15A wall outlet.
A strong and secured wireless network or ethernet connection is required.
