FINE-TUNING YOUR PRINT PAD
1 . Re-install the Print Pad before fine tuning.
2 . Use the Up and Down arrows to reduce the gap between the print jet and Print Pad
to approximately 2 mm. This will enable finer leveling. (Fig. 105)
3 . Use the two remaining visible bolts to repeat the leveling process .
4 . Click the ‘Function’ button to leave the ‘Level’ menu, and return to the main menu .
CAUTION: Observe each axis movement and ensure the print jet
is not touching the Print Pad. Moving the axis when the print jet is
touching the Print Pad will damage both the print jet and the Print
Pad. If the print jet touches the Print Pad, immediately lower the Print
Pad using the Down arrow.
NOTE: Remember to lock the 3 Print Pad bolts into position by tightening the lock nut under each with the 8mm
spanner wrench. To stop the bolt from spinning while you tighten the nut, hold it in position with the 3mm hex
driver found on the top side of the Print Pad.

UNBLOCKING THE CUBEX PRINT JET TIP
If your CubeX will not jet material, you can unblock the print jet tip by going into ‘PJ-CONN’ from the main menu and heating
the tip to 260°C . Using the 0 .5mm drill bit from the tool kit (a drill is not needed), feed the drill bit into the print jet 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 jet tip jets .
WARNING: THE DRILL BIT AND THE PRINT JET TIP CAN BECOME HOT WHEN UNBLOCKING THE PRINT
JET TIP. USE HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES WHEN UNBLOCKING THE CUBEX PRINT JET TIP.

UNBLOCKING THE CUBEX PRINT JET
If the print jet 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 filament from the corresponding cartridge bay, delivery tube and print
jet . Then go into ‘PJ-CONN’ 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 filament 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 filament 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 JET TIP BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT DURING SET-UP AND OPERATION. DO NOT
TOUCH PRINT JET TIP.

SETTING THE PRINT JET GAP
After leveling the Print Pad, the print jet must be set to the correct height to ensure that the first printed layer sticks properly
(if the print jet is too high, the filament 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 first layer.
• Select the ‘Z-Gap’ function on the touchscreen . (Fig . 106)
