Safety Warnings and Guides

 

Safety Information: Handling and Using REsin 3D-Printed Items

1. Ventilation and Protective Gear:

  • Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling uncured resin vapors, which can cause irritation. Use a respirator designed to filter out organic vapors if working in an enclosed space.
  • Always wear nitrile gloves to protect your skin from contact with uncured resin.
  • Safety goggles should be worn to shield your eyes from splashes or particulate matter.

2. Handling Cured Resin Prints:

  • Even after curing, 3D-printed items can contain residual chemicals. Avoid direct contact with the skin. If cleaning is necessary (such as removing excess resin), do so under cold water in a well-ventilated area.
  • Follow local disposal guidelines for resin prints, especially Anycubic water washable resin, which might have specific disposal instructions. Do not dispose of uncured or cured resin prints in regular trash; consult local hazardous waste management.

3. Emergency Procedures:

  • Skin Contact: If uncured resin touches your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
  • Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes if resin splashes into them, and seek medical help if irritation persists.
  • Ingestion: If ingested, seek medical advice immediately.

4. Compliance with Local Health and Safety Standards:

  • Ensure compliance with local health and safety standards if using our products professionally (e.g., at cosplay events or performances). For Anycubic water washable resin, refer to the product-specific instructions or consult with a safety professional if needed.

5. Consultation with Professionals:

  • If you are unsure about the safe handling or use of any item, consulting with a qualified technician or safety professional is recommended to ensure proper use and safety.

PLA (Polylactic Acid):

  1. Material Properties: PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. It's generally considered safe for handling but should still be handled with care.

  2. Handling Precautions:

    • Ventilation: Although PLA is not toxic, it can emit mild odors when heated. Ensure proper ventilation when working with PLA filaments in a 3D printer to minimize exposure to any fumes.
    • Avoid Ingestion: PLA filament should not be ingested, chewed, or inhaled. Keep it away from small children and pets.
    • Proper Disposal: Dispose of PLA filament waste according to local recycling guidelines, as it is biodegradable.

  3. Safety with Heated Bed/Nozzle: If your printer has a heated bed or nozzle, PLA filaments can emit small amounts of vapor. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines for printer operation and maintenance.

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified):

  1. Material Properties: PETG is known for its durability and ease of printing. It combines the benefits of both the rigidity of PET and the flexibility of glycol-modified versions, but still requires careful handling.

  2. Handling Precautions:

    • Ventilation: PETG can emit mild fumes when heated. Ensure adequate ventilation in the printing area to avoid inhaling potentially irritating fumes.
    • Avoid Skin Contact: While PETG is not highly toxic, it can cause mild skin irritation upon direct contact. Use gloves when handling PETG filaments.
    • Proper Disposal: Dispose of PETG filament waste in a responsible manner, following local recycling regulations, as PETG is generally considered recyclable.

Safety Information: for Resin Figures

At Galactic3D, your safety is our top priority. Please follow these important guidelines when using and handling our resin printed figures:

Important Safety Warnings

These items are printed on demand using liquid resin and are cured using UV light. Models are generally small and have small parts to build a complete figure.

  1. Not for Children: Please keep resin figures away from young children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion.

  2. Handle with Care: Always handle resin figures carefully to avoid breakage. Models are not perfect as they require supports to be printed, which may leave marks on the print's surface or require minimal sanding (supports are removed). When sanding, painting, or modifying the figures, ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and a mask, as resin dust is toxic if inhaled or ingested and is harmful to health.

  3. Store Safely: Store figures in a safe, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain their quality. Do not leave figures in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause damage.

If you have any questions or concerns about the safe use of our resin printed figures, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Important Safety Warnings

  1. 3D Printing Process: These items are printed on demand using 3D printing technology. Models can vary in size and complexity, with some having small parts that may pose a risk. These items are unfinished, and as part of the 3D printing process, they do have imperfections such as layer lines and other marks, which are a normal part of the printing process. To ensure successful prints, supports are generated during the printing process. We remove these supports prior to shipping, but sometimes they may leave sharp edges or rough areas. Please be very careful when handling or trying on unfinished items, as they can be sharp.

  2. Not for Children: Please keep 3D printed items away from young children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion. These items are not toys and can pose choking hazards.

  3. Handle with Care: Always handle 3D printed items carefully to avoid breakage.

  4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When sanding, painting, or modifying the items, ensure you wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and a mask, as fine dust and paint fumes can be harmful if inhaled or ingested.

  5. Store Safely: DO NOT leave items in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, even when painted and completed, as this may cause damage. Store items in a safe, dry place away from extreme temperatures to maintain their quality.
