| **Item** | **All printers** |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Installation Surface** | - FF 25/FL 20 (moderately flat)
- Hard, level, non-porous, easily cleanable surface
- No carpet.
- No foam tiles.
- Concrete must be sealed |
| **Seismic Anchors** | - Your facility may need seismic anchors to comply with local safety regulations. If using seismic floor anchors, the floor must be sealed concrete rated to at least 20.5 MPa (3,000 psi).
- To learn more about Seismic Anchors for M1/M2 Printers, [download M1/M2 Seismic Anchor Installation.](docId:-xZtfX2PcMAIzpvV-d-fd)
- Contact Carbon for more information on seismic anchoring for M3 / M3 Max printers.
- Carbon has seismic floor anchors available for purchase, contact your Sales Director or Sales Operations. |
| **HVAC Requirements** | - Controlled environment
- Humidity: 30-60%
- Humidity Stability: Less than ± 5% change per hour
- Temperature: 18-24° C (64-75° F)
- Temperature Stability: Less than 2° C (3.8° F) change per hour |
| **Location Requirements (Other)** | - The printer should be placed far from vibration-producing equipment. Extreme vibration (e.g., near heavy machinery or train tracks) can cause print failures. Avoid such areas.
- Elevation: Your facility must be between 0-2000 m (0-6560 ft) for proper operation.
- UV Exposure: Limit UV exposure by placing Printer, resin, and work areas away from windows and UV light sources.
- Recommendations:
- LED lighting is recommended.
- Nearby exterior windows should be coated to minimize transmission of wavelengths \< 420 nm. |
