11. Printer maintenance and repair
11-1. Extruder detaching
* Printer malfunction may occur, in the case of separating or installing removable etruder while power is ON. Make sure to proceed the detachable extruder separation/installation when the printer power is OFF and nozzle temperature is equal to indoor temperature. * Make sure to wear gloves and mind possible scalding due to hot extruder in the time of separating the detachable extruder in hot temperature.
* be careful of the sensor or other equipment malfuntion in the case of separating the detachable extruder
while the filament is put into extruder. * In the case of abnormal unloading due to malfuntion, cut out the filament from filament entry of the extruder
and separate the extruder mindfully by pressing filament handle.
(1) Detaching
Turn off the printer power and untie knob of the extruder in counter clockwise direction.
Please hold the extruder with one hand while untying the knob, because the extruder may fall into bed in the
time of completely untying.
The extruder will be separated, once detachable extruder is pulled down.
Mind that extruder might be tight as it is basically inserted to fixed part fan.

(2) Attaching
Attaching is basically in reverse order of detaching.
Make sure to attach the extruder after inserting it to fixture part and tighten knob in clockwise direction, once
you can hear clicker after hole, which is put on shaped fan of rear extruder, is engaged. Do not put the knob
with force as accurate combination is required. Instead, proceed attaching process again.
* Make sure to turn off the printer power to separate/install the detachable extruder, proceed the work
after temperature of extruder nozzle is completely cooled off. *. Mind possible scalding if the removable extuder separation/installation is unavoidable in high nozzle
temperature condition.
* Make sure not to install / separate detachable extruder with extreme force as it may cause the extruder
part damage.
* Printing in the case of detachable extruder is not properly installed to fixture part or removable
setscrew is not tightened condition, may cause problem of the extruder installation or malfunction
which make printing impossible. Make sure to install the extruder properly in prior to using the printer.
* Make sure not to touch the extruder part or cause shock with wet hand as the extruder includes electric
equipment.

11-2. Extruder maintenance
Nozzle of the extruder is located at the bottom of the extruder and it is the part, which makes model as filament melts and comes out. Nozzle is the consumable part of the printer and can be worn out or filament carbonization leftover, impurities of filament might be piled up inside due to continuous nozzle use. Therefore regular nozzle replacement is required. However, in the case of improper nozzle control, several problems related to the nozzle can occur earlier than normal nozzle use period and it may cause poor printing quality. In the case of serious printing quality problem occurrence, the nozzle cover might be blocked and it requires the nozzle replacement. Regular nozzle cleaning is required for the nozzle continuous use with uniform printing quality.
(1) Cleaning gear contaminants
Turn off the printer power and pull out G_FAN from the extruder rear side. Be mindful that damage might
occur in the cable pull out process.
Page 47
CUBICON Single Plus User Manual
47
Turn and separate the bolt from cover front in counterclockwise direction with wrench of 2Ø diameter.
Be mindful of a gear fan, which is installed to the cover and separate the cover. Then remove all filament
leftover and filament powder from the gear with the antistatic brush.
Press the handle and clean dusts with antistatic brush.
Page 48
CUBICON Single Plus User Manual
48
The extruder gear can be rotated with D-gear of motion by turning the power ON in the extruder pullout condition.
Make sure to rotate the gear pressing handle. In the case of cleaning with air compressor, quality decrease
and equipment malfunction may occur due to powder insert to shaft.
* Make sure to rotate the gear by pressing handle in the process of the gear cleaning. The gear
abrasion may occur in the case of moving the gear without pressing handle. * Be mindful that equipment malfunction might be caused due to powder insert to the shaft in the air
cleaning process.
* Do not put conductive materials into cleaning part during the printer power is ON. It may cause
equipment shock.
(2) Cleaning of filament channel contaminants
Basically, the extruder, which uses all provided material or mixes all materials are not recommended.
Filaments have different property and temperature. Those differences may be accumulated slowly and they
may cause serious problems. Even though the inside filament can be deleted in the time of using ABS during
PLA use period, PLA ingredient may remain on a wall surface. Those filament leftovers are accumulated
continuously and sometime they cause printing failure due to nozzle blockage (Below picture shows the
phenomenon, which is caused by the filament mix.)
Page 49
CUBICON Single Plus User Manual
49
Make sure to remove the filament with tweezers, which is inserted to filament entrance of detachable extruder
(3) Inside nozzle cleaning
Cleaning inside nozzle is basically possible with filament loading. Clean the inside with nozzle control pin in
the case of loading is impossible due to change of inside filament property caused by materials mix. Make
sure not to push in forcefully as it may cause damage to inside.
* Make sure to wear gloves as inside nozzle cleaning is proceeded in hot condition and be mindful of
possible scalding * Make sure to work holding only plastic part of detachable extruder in hot condition. Metal part and
rubber part are in hot condition. * Nozzle control pin is not required to be used often if it does not mix material.

11-3. Auto leveling interface part maintenance
The extruder nozzle end part of Cubicon single plus touches interface part of heating bed and decides electric current applying necessity. Also, it recognizes the interval between heating bed and nozzle and adjusts bed height automatically. Therefore in the case of contaminants presence on heating bed interface part and nozzle end part, auto leveling will be failed due to poor electric current application. Make sure to clean contaminants for normal auto leveling operation.
3 points, which are indicated in red, in above picture, are used for auto leveling interface. The filament melts and puffs and it causes pollution in the process of auto leveling of heating bed auto leveling interface. Auto leveling failure occurs due to melted filament fixation in the case of not removing and neglecting pollution. Make sure to clean the interface part with tweezers or scraper in prior to printing.
Above nozzle in the extruder picture is directly contacted part in auto leveling process. It basically proceeds cleaning it printing process, but it gets carbonized easily due to filament staining in printing process. Make sure to clean with a wire brush, which is equipped to an antistatic brush.
Page 51
CUBICON Single Plus User Manual

11-4. Heating bed maintenance
The heating bed is a floor, on which printing material is formed by melting and extruding filament. The heating
bed gets polluted easily by filament or filament pieces, which is melted and attached in the formation process.
In the case of continuous printing in polluted condition, contaminants sticks at formation too, and it causes
pollution of formation or poor formation attachment to the heating bed in the printing process.
Make sure to maintain the heating bed in tidy place before and after printing to prevent poor printing quality
due to printing material pollution.
① Remove filament leftover of the heating bed, using tools such as tweezers, scraper or a brush. Be mindful of heating
bed surface damage in a tool use process. Lamination gets peeled off due to surface damage and it causes poor printing
material sticking.
② Filament leftover or filament sign on the surface of heating bed in formation process may not be removed easily. Make
sure to remove those serious pollutions wiping as if melting with right amount of high purity acetone.
* Make sure to use only high purity acetone for the heating bed cleaning
* Some stain may be seen on the heating bed surface. You do not need to concern on this matter as
those stains usually occur in lamination process and do not effect to the heating bed property. * The heating bed lamination usage period depends on user’s printing habit. * The heating bed of Cubicon single plus can process printing without using kapton tapes in appropriate
temperature in the case of printing our company’s ABS/PLA. However users can purchase and use
kapton tape depending on their printing habit or printing model.
In the case of melted filament printing method, contraction may occur if melted filament is hardened and it may lead to printing floor bird-caging. Contradiction can be improved depending on printing temperature condition or heating bed adhesive strength or slicing option change. Most of contradiction phenomenon occurs often and contradiction difference occurs based on contradiction degree. Make
sure to consider a design method, which can disperse contradiction force in 3D model designing process.
* Do not use solvents other than aceton for the heating bed as they lead to lamination damage. * Make sure that aceton shall not stain onto other objects in the time of using aceton for heating bed
cleaning as it may lead to the product damage. * Make sure to use aceton in well ventilated place and be midful of aceton maintenance.
(Make sure to follow safety regulations, which is written on aceton package) * Do not use a wet tissue as abluent ingredient of some wet tissues may lead to heating bed lamination pollution.
* Do not seprate or force the heating bed for formation pullout as it may lead to heating bed malfunction. * Auto leveling is adjusted with unlaminated bed part. Make sure to remove foreign substances in prior to
printing.

11-5. Filter replacement
Purafil accelerator, HEPA filter, clear filter, which consist of triple structure of deodorizing filter is used for
filtering out contaminants, which occurs from a printer of FFF type in Cubicon single plus.
Contaminants of the clean filter may cause not only poor filter performance but also filter fan operation
interference and lead to the product malfunction.
Do not cleanse polluted clean filter. But replace it with new one.
Replacement period of the clean filter depends on the product use environment and user’s printing habit.
Generally, it is recommended to replace the clean filter every six months.
Make sure to install the clean filter to a case in appropriate direction. Inappropriate installation may lead to poor filter performance and a fan malfunction.
11-6. Rubber brush & wire brush replacement period and method
Heat resisting rubber cleaning brush and wire brush are attached to the left side of heating bed for cleaning the end part of nozzle. Make sure to remove filament leftover as it may cause secondary nozzle pollution. Those two brushes are consumable products. Therefore, user can replace those products through designated A/S center in the case of product damage.
Replacement period of nozzle cleaning brush is when the brush cannot function properly due to filament
leftover and the brush replacement is required in this case. Continuous brush use without replacement may
lead to auto leveling failure and nozzle shock.

12. Trouble shooting
* The printer hardware problem can be solved by initializing through {Setting > Function > Initialize} or through
firmware update. * Printing quality can be different depending on printing condition or cubicreator option setting in G-Code process.
Therefore make sure to check quality using different printing condition or option.
It is important to inspect problem source clearly in the case of equipment problem occurrence. Make sure to film of modelling file (STL), hfb(hvs) file, related problem picture and video to provide for customer support.
1) USB memory data is invisible.
Cubicon Single Plus supports only formats in FAT32 form file system. Cubicon Single Plus supports only English named files. In the case of file names in different languages,
letters may break or it may seem as empty blank. Therefore make sure to change file name from other language to English for proper use.
Printing might be interrupted in the case of including characters such as “.“ in file name. (System
recognizes “.“ from back as filename extension)
Only *.hfb and .hvs files are visible on LCD screen of Cubicon Single Plus. Make sure to check if a file is
copied properly into USB memory.
Printer may recognize up to 255 USB memory files. Make sure to arrange files in proper quantity.
2) USB memory data cannot be printed.
Make sure to check if selected files are in G-Code of *.hfb , *.hvs filename extension.
Only sliced G-Code (*.hfb , *.hvs filename extension) files can be used by cubicreator in Cubicon Single Plus. G-Codes, which use different slicing programs, cannot be printed and they may cause equipment damage.
USB memory data might have been damaged. Try to remake and use remade G-code file. Printing cannot be processed in the case of improper implementation in memory copy process after
slicing by using cubicreator. Make sure to use the cubicreator and check if related G-Code is proper to use. G-code is improper to use in the case of abnormal printing channel, which is shown as G-Code.
Slicing might have been gone wrong through the cubicreator due to improper 3D model. Import original
3D model from the cubicreator and check if there is any problem in slicing or G-Code transmission normality. Use special 3D model inspection program and check any possible problem of 3D model.
There might be a problem in USB memory data storage due to security program of PC or virus. Take
appropriate measures for soling problem after inspection and try again.
3) Printing cannot be proceeded due to PC and USB cable connection.
Check if there is any problem in PC and printer USB cable connection. Check if Cubicon Single Plus driver is installed to PC properly. . Check if PC problem is related to virus and reinstall driver after solving the problem. Connection problem may occur due to communication problem of PC and printer. Try to reconnect USB
cable or rerun the cubicreator or turn OFF and ONN rear power button.
4) Printing cannot be proceeded due to PC and WIFI connection
Check if PC and the printer are connected to identical router. Use the printer and PC in places, where WIFI is well connected.
Page 57
CUBICON Single Plus User Manual
57
Connection interruption may occur depending on a wireless router model. Try to initialize the printer setting or turn OFF and ON the printer power. Refer to 22P for detailed information.
5) Filament cannot be extruded with the nozzle.
Check if the filament is a genuine product. Some filaments have different temperature condition from
other genuine filaments and problem may occur in extruding process due to those filaments’ serious temperature change. Serious temperature change may lead to the extruder malfunction. The printer
malfunction due to non-geniune filament use is excluded from complimentary A/S.
Check if the filament supply is normal. Untie and rearrange the filament in the case of problems such as
the filament twisting in a spool or untied filament. It is highly recommended to untie and rearrange filament as twisted or untied filament may cause continuous problem.
The filament nature may change from its original nature due to pollution such as humidity or dust. Such
filament use may cause malfunction such as extruder blockage. Use opened filament as soon as possible and keep the filament in fixed condition in the spool using plastic to prevent the filament from humidity/dust. Make sure to keep the filament only for short period.
Check if supplied filament is not too thick or not too thin either. The filament in 1.6~1.9mm diameter
shall be used for accurate filament supply in Cubicon Single Plus. Using too thin or thick filament may be inserted to equipment and it may lead to equipment malfunction.
In the case of inside extruder filament gets twisted or caught in equipment, extruding cannot be
processed due to extruding problem. Make sure to separate detachable extruder and remove problematic filament. Inside extruder twisting problem may easily occur in the case of filament of low printing temperature. Twisting problem can be solved by adjusting inside equipment temperature to low degree.
Check if detachable extruder installation is proper. Error message may occur on LCD screen in the case
of problem occurrence.
Check if filament in use and the printer extruder temperature are proper. Replace damaged nozzle. The nozzle is consumable product and can be replaced through A/S.
6) A model is not attached to a floor (heating bed) and is detaching.
Check if filament is genuine product. Some filaments are not glued to the manufacturer’s heating bed
and it may cause equipment malfunction in printing process.
The filament nature may change from its original nature due to pollution such as humidity or dust. Those
polluted filaments may be glued to the heating bed poorly. Use opened filament as soon as possible and keep the filament in fixed condition in the spool using plastic to prevent the filament from humidity/dust. Make sure to keep the filament only for short period.
Remove contaminants from heating bed. General wet tissues may cause damage to heating bed
lamination. Never use wet tissues for heating bed.
Check if filament in use and heating bed, extruder temperature condition are proper. The heating bed
use in Cubicon Single Plus can be glued well if only it can maintain proper temperature condition with filament in use. And the temperature condition can be different depending on printing environment.
Check if the heating bed attachable area is not too small or formed floor is not irregular. Use a floor
supportive material option in the G-Code formation process or slow down the first layer printing speed to solve the problem.
Use proper tape if required. Applying special heat resisting tape such as kapton tape to heating bed in
accordance with formed model or filament type, might be helpful for a model attachment. Corner

contact point which is auto level shall be attached with exposure. Make sure to calibrate tilt offset as thick as tape thickness.
Check if the heating bed lamination has not been damaged or the heating bed bending is not serious.
Replace heating bed in the case of heating bed lamination damage or serious heating bed bending. The heating bed is consumable material and can be replaced through A/S.
7) A part of the model, mostly floor border detach from the floor.
Refer to “6) A model is not attached to a floor (heating bed) and detaching” and take appropriate
measure.
The problem can be solved partially with option such as inside fill density in G-Code formation process. Material contraction from heat melting printer is the main reason.
Adjust printing condition (extruder, heating bed, printer inside temperature) or use less contracted materials. Contraction can be improved somewhat depending on material. However model modification is the most effective method for contraction improvement, which appears by filament solidification as natural phenomenon.
8) The middle of model is cracked.
This is caused by contraction of the material caused by printer using the thermal melting method.
Adjust printing condition (extruder, heating bed, printer inside temperature) or use less contracted materials. Contraction can be improved somewhat depending on material. However model modification is the most effective method for contraction improvement, which appears by filament solidification as natural phenomenon.
The problem can be solved partially with option such as inside fill density in G-Code formation process
9) The model does not detach from a floor (heating bed)
Wait until heating bed cools off sufficiently. Forceful pull out may harm the heating bed. The model is
attached onto the floor in the heating bed printing process of Cubicon Single Plus. The model can be detached easily, once the heating bed cools off after printing completion. Proper temperature for the model detaching is different based on the filament and model model and environment.
In the case of heating bed cannot be detached after heating bed cooled off (cold temperature), try to pull
out the model by pushing its floor part with flat ended object.
In the case of continuous model leftover fixture to the heating bed, the model cannot be detached from
bed as it is attached to fixated leftover. Make sure maintain the heating bed surface tidy.
Replace the heating bed in the case of heating bed lamination damage through A/S.
10) The model is printed partially or it is not printed at all or it is printed abnormally.
Refer to “5) Filament cannot be extruded with nozzle.” and take appropriate measure. Check printing model and G-Code. Problem may occur in G-Code formation process in the case of
abnormal model. Modify model and try again.
Problem may occur in printing due to printed model and stanchion interruption based on model or
stanchion in use. The problem can be solved in the case of slicing method change (slicing option adjustment or direction change).
Remove contaminants from inside nozzle. In the case of continuous problem occurrence although proper model, the nozzle shall be replaced by
A/S.

11) Printing cannot be processed due to auto leveling failure.
Check if environmental vibration affects equipment in auto level process. Auto level may fail in the case
of vibration transmission to equipment.
The printer proceeds auto level of bed in prior to print. The printer stops printing in the case of auto
leveling failure (automatically proceeding for several times) due to some reason.
Make sure to maintain auto level contact point continuously. In the case of continuous problem occurrence, replace extruder cleaning brush or heating bed by A/S.
Auto leveling may fail depending on temperature and filament difference in non-genuine filament use.
12) The presence detection sensor of filament is not operated properly.
Make sure to check supplying filament’s diameter is 1.6~1.9mm in prior to use it.
Flexible filament such as TPU may malfunction due to filament pressure to supply detection sensor.
Make sure not to use filament supply detection function in this case.
(Setting > Function > Filament Check “Off”)
The filament detection sensor may get worn out due to continuous use as it is consumable material.
Replace the presence detection sensor through A/S.
13) Operation stops in printing process.
Check power supply. In the case of continuous problem occurrence take a photo or video of problematic part and use A/S.
