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.

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.
