[Style] What is the difference between the 210F and the 220C model?
The extruder of both models have the following similarities and differences:
<The extruder of Model 210F>
1. The logo is not printed on the extruder cover.
2. A nozzle can be replaced by extruder module disassembly.
<The extruder of Model 220C>
1. The logo is printed on the extruder cover.
2. With the nozzle kit, it is easier for customers to replace a nozzle without disassembling the extruder module
(reducing maintenance costs of customers and shortening a repair schedule)
* Output features of the above two extruders may be different at some points due to the nozzle exposure (rubber shape) and internal structure.
* Model 210F and 220C are compatible by the extruder module unit.
[Style] It has been reached the temperature, but it does not load.
Auto-leveling is carried out in such a way that it applies an electric current to the silver part of the bed surface. Cleaning the extruder can solve this problem.

[Style] The filament is not attached to the bed.
In some cases, the temperature for the filament you want to use is not set, so please check again.
Also, it is recommended to check because it is related to the cleaning of the extruder or the nozzle life.

▶ Notes
A nozzle is consumables.
The replacement is recommended every six months for 3D printer businesses and every one year for individual users.
However, the replacement cycle may vary depending on the usage.
The additional nozzle is included in the toolbox as a basic component when purchasing a printer.
An additional purchase is available at the Cubicon website or retail stores.
For model 210F, the nozzle tip replacement is conducted at the extruder repair center.

[Style] The bed makes a noise whenever it moves.
Please apply grease to the Z-axis motor screw to solve this problem.
[Style] There is an error message (Printer Model Error).
It is a problem caused by incorrect settings with the printer in use.
You can solve it by setting as follows at Cubicator4:
Settings > Preferences > Equipment > Select a printer in use
[Style] There is a difference between modeling and output.
Solution 1) Adjust two options
Simple errors can be corrected by adjusting options.
(1) Setting > Preferences > Rendering > Check the box of Drawing the Back
(Uncheck it first if it was checked, then recheck it.)
(2) Check Detailed Options > Nash Adjustment > Model Adjustment (Keep Disconnected Faces)
After adjusting the above two options, preview the output by clicking the [Output Preparation].
If the error is still not corrected, follow the below Solution 2.
Solution 2) Modifying the modeling file to a complete solid shape
If it is not a simple error that can be corrected by just adjusting the options, please correct the modeling file itself to the perfect solid shape and retry.
[Style] An STL file made with 123D design is not open at Cubicator3 368.
Occasionally, a file breaks while saving an STL file.
Please save the file again and check.
[Style] The message, Read Error, is displayed.
The message Read Error is caused by a bad connection with an SD card.
The problem is likely to be terminal contact of the SD card, so you can use another SD card to fix the problem.
Please note that if the SD card is released during printing, the printing operation will be automatically canceled.

[Style] The filament keeps twisting in the filament box.
All of the filaments of Cubicon use a machine-winding method, and they are thoroughly inspected to prevent them from being shipped twisted or tangled before shipment.
However, there may be a problem depending on how to use/store the filament, so please fully understand the following precautions.
- The filament is weak against moisture. If it is not in use, please store it in the provided zipper pack (it includes a dehumidifying agent).
- If it is the first use of the filament, be careful the filament is not released when removing the fastening tape.
- When using the filament for the first time, the end is bent a lot, so cut with scissors and use it.
At this time, hold the part that does not cut and cut it using scissors to prevent tangling.
- Insert the filament end that is not inserted into the equipment into a nearby spool hole.
- Tangling may occur if the filament is stored untied. If the filament is already loose, loosen it up enough additionally and then rewind it.
