6.8. Cleaning Printer

* Each printer is packaged only after it has been tested.
For this reason, there may be some traces of usage on the heating bed, extruder, nozzle, etc. when you open
the package. You can be assured that this is due to testing.
* When you clean the printer, turn it off first if possible.

6.8.1. Cleaning of Heating Bed

The heating bed is the bottom on which the printed object is formed through the extrusion of the melted
filament. It can easily become dirty due to melted filament or filament fragments, and when printing is
continued in this condition, the dirt may adhere to the printed object, damaging the object, or the
printed object may not adhere to the heating bed during printing.
The heating bed must be cleaned before and after printing to prevent defective printing due to dirt.
① Filament residue on the heating bed can be removed using tweezers, a scraper or a brush. Make
sure that the surface of the heating bed is not scratched. If the surface is scratched, the coating can
be removed, and the printed object will not adhere to the heating bed.
② Filament stuck on the heating bed surface during printing or residual left after printing may not be
easily removed. For this type of cleaning, use concentrated acetone to wipe out the pollutants. Use
another wet towel to completely remove the acetone from the bed's surface before using the
printer again.
* Use the high purity acetone or water to clean the heated bed.
*The heating bed may look stained, but it this is natural due to the coating, and there is no problem with
using the heating bed for printing.
*The life of the coating on the heating bed depends on the printing habits of the user. If the printed output
comes off the heating bed too easily, replace the heating bed.
*The heating bed of Cubicon Single does not require the Kapton tape when using the ABS/PLA certified with
Cubicon Single under appropriate temperature conditions. Please note that the Cubicon homepage sells
Kapton tape to be used with the printer if the user's printing pattern or printed model requires the use of
Kapton tape.
For a printer using the melted filament, contraction can occur due to the hardening of melted filament. This
may cause the printed object to come off the bottom. Although the problem can be corrected by changing the
print temperature condition, heating bed adhesion or slicing option, the problem is basically generated by the
material, which contracts when it is cooled and hardened.
distributes the contractile force during the design of 3D model.
* Do not use a solvent other than the water and acetone on the heating bed. This may damage the coating.
* When you use acetone to clean the heating bed, make sure that no part other than the heating bed is
stained with the acetone. It may damage the product.
* When using acetone, make sure there is sufficient ventilation and use it with caution. (Strictly follow the
safety rules provided on the acetone package.)
* Do not use wet wipes because washing ingredient of some wet wipes can contaminate the coating of heated
bed.
* Do not disassemble the heating bed or apply excessive force to remove the printed object. The impact can
cause a problem.
