  • Page 5: Introduction To Cubicon Single

    Operation What is Cubicon Single? Cubicon Single is an FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) type 3D printer that controls the position of an extruder with an x/y/z axis controlling motor, uses a heating system to melt the filament supplied to the extruder, pushes the melted filament outside the nozzle with the extruder motor, and constructs a printed object layer by layer.
  • Page 6 Cubicon Single features the unique Auto Leveling Plus function, which precisely measures the height of the heating bed and uses it to adjust the space from the nozzle in optimal condition. Moreover, it applies a special coating on the heating bed to eliminate the inconvenience of having to use the Kapton tape, and thus ensures an optimum print quality and minimum maintenance.
  • Page 7 The filament material used by the FFF type printer is known to be harmless to the human body. However, dusts and impurities can be generated when it is melted by heat. Cubicon Single uses a deodorizing filter, HEPA filter and Purafil catalyst to improve the filter performance.
  • Page 8 Filament Detection Function Cubicon Single has a built-in function to monitor the filament feed status so that the user can pause printing to check the filament feed when the filament is not supplied to the extruder after the filament is used up or cut off during printing.
  • Page 9 Cubicon Single has adopted convection ventilation, clean filter and Auto Leveling Plus functions to support the use of both PLA and ABS. Cubicon’s Smart Spool features an untangling prevention function to reduce the possibility of printing failure.
