SCALING A PART
You can scale a part by pressing the scale button. The amount your part will be scaled by is defaulted
to 50%. This can be changed to suit your needs. You can also use the – to mm and + to inch to scale by
unit conversion. (Fig. 83)

BUILD STYLE PROFILE Use this to select previously saved print settings. To save print settings you are using for
future quick selection, press the save as button and give the prole a name.
LAYER THICKNESS This is the resolution your part will be printed at.
• 0.1mm: The CubeX 3D Printers nest resolution. This layer height takes the longest
to print but gives the best quality parts.
• 0.25mm: A middle ground between 0.1mm and
• 0.5mm: This layer height is faster than 0.1mm but is slightly lower quality.
• 0.5mm: The CubeX 3D Printers fastest resolution. This layer height has a lower
quality than 0.1mm and 0.25mm but has a much faster print time.
PART DENSITY This is how much solid ll your part will contain.
• Hollow: The part will have no internal structure.
• Thin: The part will have a small amount of internal structure to give it support.
• Medium: The part will have a good internal structure supporting it.
• Heavy: A heavy part with a strong internal structure.
RAFT MATERIAL Use this to select which material will print your raft or the raftless option. We recommend
printing raftless but some larger parts may require a raft.
SUPPORT MATERIAL Use this to select your support material or the no support option. Support material
may be required when printing parts with overhangs greater than 50°. Before printing
with supports try rotating your model in the software to see if this can eliminate the
overhangs. If this is not possible then supports may be required.
SUPPORT TYPE Choose between points and lines for your support material. Does not affect the print if no
support is selected.

PRESERVATION
