SAFETY SYMBOLS AND DEFINITIONS

SAFETY GUIDELINES

• To ensure personal safety, please follow all general safety guidelines, cautions and warnings when operating your CubeX.

• Do not make modications to the CubeX or safety features of the CubeX. Doing so is strictly prohibited and voids your warranty.

• Use of 3D print materials or parts other than genuine 3D Systems® components may void your warranty.

• Adult supervision is required; watch children closely and intervene as necessary to ensure appropriate use of the CubeX and

prevent potential safety hazards. Ensure that small 3D prints are not accessible to young children, as they may pose choking

hazards.

• The print tip of the print jet becomes very hot when the CubeX is operating; avoid touching this area until it has cooled down.

• Do not change material color during printing; doing so may damage your CubeX.

The Hot Surface Hazard symbol indicates that a hot surface may be accessible in the vicinity of this sign or at the

build pad and print jet. Avoid contact; hot surfaces can cause severe burns.

The Caution symbol indicates the possibility that something may happen which could cause loss of data, damage

to equipment, or personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The print tip heats the material to extrude a thin string of plastic which adheres to the print pad in layers. The print pad

lowers after each layer so that each one builds upon the last. This process continues through the nal layer, until your

creation is complete.

CUBEX 3D PRINTER FEATURES AND PROPERTIES

• Plastic Jet Printing technology

• Houses up to three print jets for multi-color and multi-material prints

• Over material choices.

• Choice between ABS and PLA plastic, both recyclable

• Prints objects up to 275 x 265 x 240 mm (10.75”x10.5”x9.5”)

• EZ load print cartridge

• Fully automated supports: peel off supports for ABS and PLA; PLA supports can also be removed using the Ultrasonic

Support Removal Tank available at Cubify.com/cubex/store_parts

PRINT MATERIALS

The CubeX can use two different types of print materials: PLA and ABS. Each material has unique benets and you can

guide your selection based on the properties your part requires.

PLA

This is a hard plastic that has a low environmental impact. It is derived from renewable, starch-based resources.

We recommend using PLA when printing extra-large parts on CubeX as it is a more stable print material

PLA is the optimal support material for industrial ABS parts. PLA has the ability to dissolve away in caustic soda solutions

supported by an ultra-sonic tank. (see page 36 for more information)

ABS

This is a well-known plastic known for its strength and industrial properties.

As a build material, ABS is good for both small and large parts.

ABS works as an excellent support material for extra-large PLA parts.

HOW THE CUBEX WORKS

The CubeX uses your 3D model to create a 3D printed part.

• To begin the process, design a part in a CAD package or download one from Cubify.com.

• Before the part can be printed, it must be opened into the CubeX Software (CubeX Software accepts both .stl and

.creation  les).

• The CubeX Software creates a .cubex  le, which the CubeX uses to build the part.

• Save the .cubex  le onto your USB drive and plug the drive into your CubeX.

• The CubeX creates the model by pulling  lament from the cartridge through the print jets via the delivery tubes. The

 lament is then jetted through the print tip in a thin string of molten plastic. The print jet is accommodated by the print

plate, which lowers incrementally after each layer is deposited so a new layer can be drawn on top of the last, building the

part up.
