Thank you for purchasing Cubicon Single!
Please read this ‘Safety Caution’ before using the printer and always follow the guideline provided. This guideline is provided to ensure the safety of users, prevent the injury of third parties and prevent
damage to the printer.
Failure to follow this guideline may lead to serious injuries or printer damage.
Since the printer generates a high level of heat during operation, there is the risk of burning if you place your finger or another part of your body or fixtures inside the printer during operation. Place the body part or fixtures only after the operation is terminated and the printer has been sufficiently cooled.
The printer has a number of moving parts, including the motor, belt and gear. There is the risk of injury or property damage from being trapped if a body part or fixtures are placed inside the printer during an operation.
Penetration of water or other liquids as well as the metal pieces or other conductive foreign substances inside the printer can cause fire or electric shock. Please take care to avoid operating the printer with wet hands, as this can cause fire or electric shock.
Select the installation site carefully to avoid causing injury to children or pets. Children or pets must be observed and protected carefully if they are near the printer.
The printer and its parts have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid injury or printer damage.
Since the filament used in the printer can cause fire or injury, do not heat it or deform it with another piece of equipment. Carefully handle the outputs and filament scraps, as swallowing them can cause suffocation, etc.
Never use a volatile substance with the printer, as it can cause a fire or explosion. In addition, remove ignition materials or flammable materials around the printer as they can cause fire.
The printer uses a high brightness LED for illumination. Do not look at it directly in order to protect your eyes.
Do not destroy or alter the printer’s power cable or USB cable, and make sure that only the rated voltage is
supplied.
To move the printer, stop the printer operation and disconnect the power cable and USB cable after the internal parts are sufficiently cooled and the printer is turned off.
Do not place a filament or object in an empty space inside the printer, as it can cause printer damage and fire.
As the printer uses a melted material that may generate an odor, install the printer in a well-ventilated area.
Do not install the printer outdoors or in a vibrating, humid or dusty area.
Do not install the printer in an unstable or uneven surface. In addition, please take care to remove any object that may be damaged by the heat or vibration generated
by the printer’s operation.
If an unauthorized filament or part is used with the printer, it may damage the product and/or violate the conditions of the product warranty. Any problem caused as a result will not be covered by the warranty.
Do not disassemble or alter the printer except as specified in the Operation Manual, as it may cause the injury or printer damage. Any problem caused as a result will not be covered by the warranty.
Do not apply excessive force or impact to the printer, as it may cause injury or printer damage. Read the caution in the Operation Manual carefully before using the printer.

⑤ After loading, navigate to the {SD Card} menu by pressing the 【BACK】 button.
Insert the supplied SD card into the SD memory insertion hole and select the file to be output. You can select a file from the G-Code (*.hvs) file list in the SD card.
Select the “ABS_*.hvs” file if the mounted filament
is ABS and the “PLA_*.hvs” file if the mounted filament is PLA.
Only the files with the extension *.hvs can be used for printing. Files in other formats will not be printed.
⑥ Raise the heating bed temperature and extruder temperature sequentially to the temperature conditions
recorded in the G-Code file, and run auto tilt of heating bed in auto to begin printing.
⑦ When printing is completed, do not try to
forcibly separate the molded object, but wait until the heating bed is cooled. The molded object can be easily separated from the heating bed when the temperature of the heading bed decreases to room temperature.
If the molded part is not easily separated from the heating bed even when the heating bed is cooled, it will help if you make a space at the edge of the bottom of the molded part with a flat object.
This document has described how to install the printer and print a sample.
Please carefully read the latest operation manual included in the SD card or downloaded from Cubicon homepage (www.3dcubicon.com) before using the printer.
