FINISHING YOUR CREATION
REMOVING YOUR CREATION FROM THE PRINT PAD
1.
Remove the print pad and place it in a container filled with warm tap water. Allow it to soak for
approximately ten minutes or until your creation can be easily removed from the print pad. After it
has soaked, gently pry the creation from the print pad using the included scraper.
Caution: Always move the scraper away from the body. The scraper can cause injury
if not used correctly.
Caution: Exercise caution when using a tool to remove a part from the print pad. The
print pad can become damaged if the tool is not used properly.
2.
Clean the glue from the print pad by rinsing it under tap water.
3.
Dry the print pad with a lint-free cloth.
REMOVING RAFTS
A raft is the flat support structure attached to the base of your creation. You can enable this option
in your Cubify application before generating a print file. Although it is recommended that parts are
generated and printed without rafts, some larger, more complicated parts may require one.

Use pliers to pull away as much of the raft as possible. Then use a rough-
