SETTING THE PRINT JET GAP

After leveling the Print Pad, the print jet must be set to the correct height to ensure that the rst printed layer sticks properly

(if the print jet is too high, the lament will not stick to the Print Pad; if the print jet is too low, the Print Pad may obstruct the

print jet). Use the ‘Z Gap’ function to accurately adjust the height of the print jet for the rst layer.

• Select the ‘Z-Gap’ function on the touchscreen. (Fig. 75)

• Observe the gap between the print jet and Print Pad from the front of the machine. Press and hold the Z +/- buttons to

move the Print Pad.

• Make sure the print jet is clean. For cleaning instructions, see ‘MAINTAINING YOUR CUBEX > Cleaning the Print Jet’).

• Start with a gap between the Print Pad and the print jet and move the Print Pad towards the print jet. (Figs. 26 & 27)

Observe the Print Pad as it approaches the print jet. (Fig. 76) Stop raising the Print Pad as soon as the print jet touches

the Print Pad’s surface. If the Print Pad goes too far, simply move the Print Pad back and repeat the approach.

• Lower the Print Pad by 0.1 to produce a large enough Z gap for printing. (Fig. 77)

CAUTION: If the print jet pushes against the Print Pad too hard, the print jet will be forced into the Print Pad

for the entire rst layer of printing. This will damage both the Print Pad and the print jet. Make sure the Print

Pad springs are not compromised when setting the print jet against the Print Pad.

• Clicking the ‘Function’ button gives the option to save the gap setting to the printer’s memory, which will be retained even

after the machine is powered off. This Z gap value will be applied for each subsequent print.

UNBLOCKING THE CUBEX PRINT TIP

If your CubeX will not jet material, you can unblock the print tip by going into ‘Ex-Con’ from the main menu and heating the

tip to 260°C. Then feed the 0.5mm drill bit from the tool kit into the print tip, being careful not to bend the drill bit. Remove the

drill bit and set the motor to 3RPM. Repeat this process until the print tip jets.

WARNING: PRINT TIP BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT DURING SET-UP AND OPERATION. DO NOT TOUCH

PRINT TIP.

UNBLOCKING THE CUBEX PRINT JET

If the print tip still won’t jet material after unblocking it, you may need to unblock the print jet. First remove the delivery tube

face plate and take out the cartridge, removing all lament from the corresponding cartridge dock, delivery tube and print

jet. Then go into ‘Ex-con’ from the main menu and set the print jet temperature to 260°C. Once this temperature has been

reached, insert an unfolded paper clip into the print jet through the lament loading hole and push it in as far as possible.

Run the print jet at 2RPM and gently push down on the paper clip until you feel resistance. Start reversing the print jet at

-2RPM and slowly pull the paper clip back out of the print jet. Reload the cartridge and lament back into the print jet and try

to jet material again. If your print jet still won’t jet material at this point, contact Cubify support.

WARNING: PRINT TIP BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT DURING SET-UP AND OPERATION. DO NOT TOUCH

PRINT TIP.

UPDATING CUBEX FIRMWARE

If you are unsure what version of rmware is currently installed on your CubeX printer, navigate to the upgrade button on the

main menu and the version number will be located beneath it. (Fig. 78)

UPGRADING YOUR CUBEX PRINTER FIRMWARE

1. Plug your USB stick into the CubeX printer. (Fig. 79)

2. Navigate to the upgrade button on the main menu. Hold down the function button and the upgrade button at the same

time (Fig. 80), the following window will appear. (Fig. 81) Still holding the function button press the tick on the screen to

put the CubeX printer into boot loader mode. (Fig. 82)

3. Remove the USB stick from the CubeX printer. (Fig. 83)

4. Open the CubeX software on your computer. (Fig. 84)
