Before beginning this process please remove all filament from the print jets
and check that your print pad is level. For instructions on how to do this
please refer to the CubeX users guide
Removing the damaged print jet
1. Turn off the CubeX printer and unplug it from the mains power.
2. Unplug the two white looms from the top of the damaged print jets sensor
board,
3. Label the Print Jet motor looms with the corresponding print jet number and
unplug them.

5
4. Remove the bolts holding the Feed Tube mount in place. The amount of bolt
will vary depending on the amount of print jets your CubeX has.
A CubeX will have the bolts circled in red.
A CubeX duo will have the two bolts circled in red and the bolt circled in green.
A CubeX trio has the bolts circled in red, green and blue.
5. You should now be able to move the Feed Tube mount from the top of the
print jets to expose the print jet mounting bolt.

6
6. Remove the mounting bolt. This can be very tight.
7. You should now be able to lift the print jet away from the Print Jet carriage
plate.

Installing the new print jet
1. Check your Print Jet is assembled and that the print tip moves freely when
pushed in and out of the drive. The Print tip moves freely for the levelling
process. Once the levelling process has been completed the Print tip will be
locked off.
If your Print Jet and print tip are not assembled together when you receive them, you
can assemble them by inserting the locating end of the Print tip into the Print Jet as
pictured below.

8
2. Place the Print Jet onto the Print Jet carriage plate as pictured, note the
locating standoff and corresponding hole present on the Print Jet
3. Ensure that the wires from the Print tip are orientated to travel straight up to
the Sensor board
4. Replace the M3 x 20 bolt into the hole as pictured and fasten. This must be
tight.

9
5. Re attach the Feed Tube mount.
6. Plug the motor looms back into their corresponding motors.
7. Plug in the Print Jet sensor board looms.

Levelling the print tips for CubeX Duo/Trio
If your CubeX only has a single print jet please see section ‘Fastening the print
tip on a CubeX’
1. Power on the CubeX printer
2. To clean the nozzles for levelling, put the CubeX printer into PJ-Control mode.
Heat all of the print jets EXCEPT for the new one to 230° and clean of any
plastic debris with pliers. Allow the Print Jets to cool down.
3. Put the CubeX printer into manual move mode.
4. Raise the print pad until it is approximately 5mm away from the print tips.

11
5. Slowly raise the print pad until it lifts the new print tip in line with the others. All
three print tips should be touching the bed without putting any pressure on it.
6. Turn the CubeX printer off and unplug it from the mains power supply.
7. Using the 2.5mm hex driver, tighten the print jet holding bolt (pictured) to lock the
print jet in place.
With the print tips levelled you can now turn on the CubeX printer and set the print tip
offsets
Setting Print Tip offsets
See the CubeX user guide for instructions on how to set your print tip offsets.

12
Fastening the print tip on a CubeX
A CubeX with a single print jet does not have a second or third nozzle to reference
the print tip level. Instead you have to use the CubeX wiping stick.
1. Power on the CubeX printer
2. Put the CubeX into manual move.
3. Raise the print pad until it is approximately 5mm away from the print tip.
4. Slowly raise the print pad until the print tip is touching it.
5. Continue raising the print pad until there is approximately 0.5mm between the
print pad and the CubeX wiping stick.

13
6. Turn the CubeX printer off and unplug it from the mains power supply.
7. Using the 2.5mm hex driver, tighten the print jet holding bolt (pictured) to lock
the print jet in place.
With the print tip fastened you can now turn on the CubeX printer and start printing.
