Replacing Filament During Printing - Cubicon Single Operation Manual

7.3. Replacing Filament during Printing

There may be the need to replace the filament during 3D printing because the filament in use has run
out or the user needs to use another filament.
To support this, Cubicon Single has a function that enables the user to suspend printing, replace the
filament and then resume printing.
This process is described below.
Press the [ENTER] button during printing to display the functional menu.
"6.4. Functional Menu during
As described in
the [ENTER] button is pressed during printing.
① The figure on the right shows that printing is in
progress.
To pause printing, press [ENTER] to display the
functional menu and select {Pause Print}. The menu
structure differs from print standby mode.
The menu function can be accessed using the [ENTER] and [BACK] buttons.
② Select {Pause Print} and wait for a while. Printing is
suspended, and the menu shown in the figure is
displayed.
The extruder of the printer moves to the standby
position (rear center) and is fixed.
Printing is not stopped immediately, but after the data in
the buffer memory is printed. The actual time will differ
according to the 3D model.
When printing is paused, the extruder moves to the standby position and remains fixed there.
Being fixed means that the extruder is locked so that the X/Y/Z movement motor is not operated. If the user
manually moves the X/Y (extruder) and Z (heating bed) position, the printing position can be incorrect when
printing is resumed and cause the printer to malfunction.
Never change the extruder and heating bed positions when the movement motor is locked.
③ Proceed with following steps.
{Unload Filament}  Nozzle heating  "Pull Out Filament"  {Unloading Stop}  [BACK]  (Replacing the
filament spool in the spool carrier and inserting the filament all the way to the edge of the Teflon tube in the printer
main body)  {Load Filament}  Nozzle heating  "Input Filament"  {Loading Stop}  [BACK]
* The nozzle heating temperature during unloading is set to the nozzle heating temperature before printing
was paused unless the user changes it. It can be changed in {Unload Filament>Temp.}.
* The nozzle heating temperature during loading is set to be the same as the nozzle heating temperature
during unloading. It can be changed in {Load Filament>Temp.}.
The nozzle heating temperature during loading should be set in consideration of both existing and new
filaments.
④ After replacing the filament, select the {Continue
Print} menu and resume printing.
The extruder and heating bed of the printer return to the
position before the pause, and printing is resumed.
