PRINTING THE
CALIBRATION FILE
Download the CubeX calibration le from Cubify.com.
Print the CubeX calibration le as you would any other print le.
READING THE
CALIBRATION FILE
The lines on the calibration print are offset by 0.1 mm. The amount of misalignment can
be calculated by
counting the amount Scale 2 or 3 is offset from Scale 1.
• Scale 1 is printed by Print Jet 1. This is the reference print jet. All offsets are relative
to Print Jet 1.
• Scale 2 is printed by Print Jet 2. This error amount is the amount Print Jet 2 needs its
offsets to be adjusted.
• Scale 3 is printed by Print Jet 3. This error amount is the amount Print Jet 3 needs its
offsets to be adjusted.
HOW TO ADJUST THE
OFFSETS
Touch the relative offset to activate it, a plus and a minus will appear at the side of the
screen. Use this plus and minus to adjust the offset.
PRINT JET 2 Y OFFSET Compare the lines on “Y scale 1” and “Y scale 2” to nd the ones that most accurately
line up. Because variation is small, it may be easiest to spot 3 that look like they all line
up. If this is the case, use the middle one as the correct one. Mark this line with a pen for
easier identication.
On “Y scale 2” count from the center line (with the arrow) to the marked line. If you are
counting down, the scale the number is negative. If you are counting up, the scale the
number is positive. Write down the offset.
• In the example shown in Figure 123, the Y offset for extruder 2 is -0.4mm.
PRINT JET 3 Y OFFSET Compare the lines on “Y scale 1” and “Y scale 3” to nd the ones that most accurately
line up. Because variation is small, it may be easiest to spot 3 that look like they all line
up. If this is the case, use the middle one as the correct one. Mark this line with a pen
for easier identication. On “Y scale 3” count from the center line (with the arrow) to
the marked line. If you are counting down, the scale the number is negative. If you are
counting up, the scale the number is positive.Write down the offset.
• In the example shown in Figure 123, the Y offset for extruder 3 is +0.6mm.
PRINT JET 2 X OFFSET Compare the lines on “X scale 1” and “X scale 2” to nd the ones that most accurately
line up. Because variation is small, it may be easiest to spot 3 that look like they all line
up. If this is the case, use the middle one as the correct one. Mark this line with a pen for
easier identication.
On “X scale “2 count from the center line (with the arrow) to the marked line. If you are
counting left, the scale the number is negative. If you are counting right, the scale the
number is positive. Write down the offset.
• In the example shown in Figure 123, the X offset for extruder 2 is +0.9mm.
PRINT JET 3 X OFFSET Compare the lines on “X scale 1” and “X scale 3” to nd the ones that most accurately
line up. Because variation is small, it may be easiest to spot 3 that look like they all line
up. If this is the case, use the middle one as the correct one. Mark this line with a pen for
easier identication.
On “X scale 3” count from the center line (with the arrow) to the marked line. If you are
counting left, the scale the number is negative. If you are counting right, the scale the
number is positive. Write down the offset.
• In the example shown in Figure 123, the X offset for extruder 3 is +1.1mm.
