Calibrating The Offset Jets
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE OFFSET JETS MENU UNLESS YOU HAVE
BEEN ADVISED TO DO SO BY CUBIFY SUPPORT. CHANGES TO THESE
SETTINGS WILL AFFECT THE QUALITY OF MULTI-COLOR OR MULTI-
MATERIAL PRINTS. CALIBRATION WAS PERFORMED BY THE FACTORY
AND ANY CHANGES TO THESE SETTINGS MUST BE APPROVED AND
GUIDED BY CUBIFY SUPPORT.
NOTE: Calibrating the Offset Jets is only applicable for printers with more
than one (1) print jet installed.
Calibration files can be downloaded from www.3dsystems.com/shop/cubepro/downloads.
These files are printed like any other .cubepro file. There are four files available. The files
are specific for the model printer (CubePro Duo or CubePro Trio) and for the material type
(ABS or PLA) currently installed in the printer. All installed cartridges must be same
material type (ABS or PLA) and each print jet will be used. Two Level Gap calibration files
will also download with the Offset Jet Calibration files. These should be ignored during this
procedure.
Calibration Overview
Depending on your printer model, you may have up to three (3) print jets installed.
Calibrating the offset jets becomes necessary when multi-color or multi-material prints are
not aligned properly. If the print jets are not positioned properly, supports may not print as
intended and print geometries may be altered.
When it becomes necessary to calibrate the offset jets, each print jet will be tested for
proper alignment. When printing the test file, a scale will be printed by all print jets and the
scales printed by print jets 2 and 3 will be compared to the scale printed by print jet 1.
NOTE: It is very important to compare the scales printed by print jet 2 and
print jet 3 to the scale printed by print jet 1. Print jet one should not be
adjusted.
