Nylon Printing Best

Practices

Introduction

Printing with CubePro Nylon (NYL) is an exciting endeavor for the 3D printing enthusiast.

Nylon is a strong, ﬂexible and durable material. It is an excellent choice for prototyping,

small-run manufacturing and parts requiring secondary operations.

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment oﬀ and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Important Safety Information

Safety Symbols and Deﬁnitions

HOT SURFACE HAZARD: A HOT SURFACE IS ACCESSIBLE IN THE

VICINITY OF THIS SIGN OR AT THE PRINT

JET. AVOID CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS. HOT SURFACES CAN CAUSE

SEVERE BURNS.

Caution: Indicates something may happen that could cause loss of data,

damage to equipment, or could cause

personal injury.

Caution: Indicates a pinch point hazard that could cause personal injury.

SHOCK WARNING: INDICATES A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

Follow all safety rules in this section and observe all cautions and warnings in this

guide.

Do not modify any safety features or make modiﬁcations to the CubePro. Doing so is

prohibited and voids the warranty.

Use of print materials other than genuine 3D Systems components may void the

warranty.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS MOVING PARTS. KEEP FINGERS AND OTHER

BODY PARTS AWAY.

HOT SURFACE HAZARD: DO NOT TOUCH THE PRINT JETS DURING SETUP

AND OPERATION. THE PRINT JETS

BECOME VERY HOT.

Caution: Read and follow all instruction prior to setting up the printer.

SHOCK WARNING: DUE TO RISK OF SHOCK, AVOID CONTACT WITH ALL

INTERNAL ELECTRONIC

COMPONENTS.

WARNING: THE CUBEPRO SHOULD ONLY BE SERVICED BY AUTHORIZED

SERVICE TECHNICIANS. PRIOR TO

ANY PART REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE, THE PRINTER MUST BE

POWERED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM

UTILITY POWER.

HOT SURFACE HAZARD: WHEN PRINTING WITH ABS MATERIAL, THE

INTERIOR (PRINT CHAMBER) OF THE

PRINTER WILL HEAT TO A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE. THE

SURFACE OF THE PRINT CHAMBER HEATER

WILL BE HOT. AVOID CONTACT WITH THE PRINT CHAMBER HEATER AND

NOTE THAT OTHER COMPONENTS

INSIDE THE PRINT CHAMBER MAY BE HOT.

To ensure safety, please exercise caution when operating your CubePro. Read and follow all

safety precautions as outlined in this

user guide. Be careful when operating your CubePro to ensure proper printing and be

mindful of and avoid hot surfaces.

Level The Print Jet Nozzle

Verify the Print Jet Nozzle Level

Leveling the print jet nozzles is very important to ensure quality prints especially after

replacing a print jet, an extruder assembly or the print pad.

The Print Jet Level Gap calibration ﬁle requires all cartridge bays to be loaded with the

same material type cartridges.

NOTE: Ensure the ﬁle used matches the printer model and the installed print

material type. All installed cartridges must be of the same material type.

(Ex. If the cartridge bays have ABS material cartridges installed, print the

ABS Level Gap calibration ﬁle.)

These ﬁles are available at www.3dsystems.com/shop/cubepro/downloads. The Level Gap

Calibration ﬁles are available from the Calibration Files download link in the Firmware and

Files section of the web page.

The ﬁle names are listed below:

PLA:

noz12_PLA_LEVELGap.cubepro (This ﬁle is for printing PLA on a CubePro Duo)

noz123_PLA_LEVELGap.cubepro (This ﬁle is for printing PLA on a CubePro Trio)

ABS:

noz12_ABS_LEVELGap.cubepro (This ﬁle is for printing ABS on a CubePro Duo)

noz123_PLA_LEVELGap.cubepro (This ﬁle is for printing ABS on a CubePro Trio)

Nylon:

noz12_NYL_LEVELGap.cubepro (This ﬁle is for printing nylon on a CubePro Duo)

noz123_NYL_LEVELGap.cubepro (This ﬁle is for printing nylon on a CubePro Trio)

Other ﬁles may be made available in the future.

Level Nozzle Calibration Print Overview

The following illustration demonstrates what you would see when the print jet nozzles are

properly leveled.

Z-Gap - The Z-Gap is the distance between the print pad and the print jet

nozzles. The Z-Gap should always be checked and adjusted ﬁrst before the

Level Gap.

Important

If either ABS or PLA materials are used to check nozzle level, the gap must be checked with

the nylon single nozzle Level_Gap ﬁle.

When using NYL_LEVEL_GAP it is best to have the corner-plate level patterns contain a

gap above and below the baseline.

The gap for nylon is diﬀerent than the gap for ABS and PLA materials. For best print

results, the Z-gap for nylon should be slightly more than the Z-gap for other materials

when reading the open Z-gap print. This gap is found between the measurements

lines (A) and the baseline (B).

The closed pattern should remain be closed.

Printing the Level Gap Calibration File

NOTE: Ensure the print pad is completely clean from glue and printed parts

before beginning this procedure.

Download the CALIBRATION FILES and extract them to your computer’s hard drive.1.

Navigate to the ﬁle location and copy the appropriate ﬁle to your USB mass storage2.

device.

Insert the USB mass storage device into the USB host port on the printer.3.

Select PRINT.4.

Using the arrows, navigate to the Level Gap Calibration ﬁle and select PRINT.5.

NOTE: There are several Level Gap Calibration ﬁles as well as Nozzle Oﬀset

Calibration ﬁles. Select the Level Gap Calibration ﬁle for print material type

installed in the printer.

Apply two thin layers of Cube Glue to the print pad in an area of 50 mm x 50 mm.6.

Select the checkmark to continue.

NOTE: For more information, refer to the section titled Applying Cube Glue.

NOTE: It may take several minutes to print the ﬁle.

When ﬁnished, remove the print pad and verify the Level Gap.7.

NOTE: If any adjustments are needed, perform this procedure again after

making the adjustments. Make sure all glue and plastic residues have been

removed prior to performing this procedure again.

Compare Print Jet Z-Gaps

Inspect the Z-Gap readings for each print jet. If any of the print jets have an incorrect Z-

gap, they will need to be leveled again.

NOTE: The Closed Z-Gap (A) and the Open Z-Gap (B) are two diﬀerent

measurements but should be read together.

Correct Closed Z-Gap

The Closed Z-Gap bars (B) should touch the baseline (A).

This should be consistent with the calibration print for each

print jet.

Incorrect Closed Z-Gap

If there is a gap between the Closed Z-Gap bars (B) and the baseline (A), that print jet is

too high and should be adjusted. Once it has been adjusted, print the calibration ﬁle again

to verify that the print jets are level.

Correct Open Z-Gap

If there is a gap (B) between the Open Z-Gap bars (C) and the baseline (A) and there is no

gap between the Closed Z-Gap bars and the baseline, that print jet is level.
