4 Assembly

4.1 Assembling the Frame

  1. Insert two Corner Connection Plates into the first Cube Profile of the base.

  2. Add a third Corner Connection Plate to the corner and slide another Cube Profile over the Corner Connection Plates.

  3. Insert the bolts with washers and spring washers into the Cube Profile, and tighten them slightly.

  4. Insert two Corner Connection Plates into one of the ends of the assembled frame.

  5. Add a third Corner Connection Plate to the corner and slide another Cube Profile over the Corner Connection Plates.

  6. Insert the bolts with washers and spring washers into the Cube Profile and tighten them slightly.

  7. Insert two Corner Connection Plates into the last Cube Profile of the base.

    To insert the last profile into the assembled base, ensure that the corners are placed inside this profile, not the assembled base.

  8. Add a third Corner Connection Plate to both corners and slide them into the Cube Profiles of the base.

  9. Insert the bolts with washers and spring washers into the Cube Profile and tighten them slightly.

  10. Repeat all previous steps to assemble the top of the Cube PrintFrame.

  11. Insert the side Cube Profiles into the base you created in the previous steps.

  12. Insert the bolts with washers and spring washers into the Cube Profile and tighten them slightly.

  13. Insert the Corner Connection Plates of the top into the upper side of the side Cube Profiles.

  14. Insert the bolts with washers and spring washers into the Cube Profile and tighten them slightly.

  15. Align all corners with each other, and tighten all bolts.

4.2 Installing the Brace Profiles

The following steps only apply to Cube PrintFrame setups with Brace Profiles. If your setup does not include Brace Profiles, proceed to the chapter Inserting the Fabric.

  1. If your Profile exceeds 6 m in length, the Brace Profile will have to be extended. Insert the Brace Joint Plates into the first Brace Profile, and slightly tighten the set screws.

  2. Slide the second Brace Profile over the Brace Joint Plates, and tighten all set screws to fully secure the Brace Profiles together.

  3. Insert the Brace Lock with the rounded side into both sides of all Brace Profiles with holes, and align the hole of the Brace Profile and socket of the Brace Lock.

  4. Insert the socket screw and tighten it until just before the Brace Lock starts to open up. Repeat for all Brace Profiles with holes.

  5. Insert all Brace Joint Plates into the bottom of a Brace Profile without holes, and slightly tighten the socket screw.

  6. Place the Brace Joint Plate in line with the holes on the Cube PrintFrame profile.

  7. Insert the bolts with washers into the Cube Profile and tighten them slightly.

  8. Repeat these steps for both bottom and top of the Cube Frame where holes are provided for Brace Profiles.

  9. Insert the vertical Brace Profile into the Frame, positioning them in a 90° angle between the previously placed Brace Profiles.

  10. Tighten the socket screws on both sides of the Brace Profile.

  11. Tighten all bolts at the top and bottom of the Cube PrintFrame to fully secure the Brace Profiles.

4.3 Inserting the Fabric

  1. Insert the keder into the keder slot without the fabric on all sides of the frame.

  2. Start at the longest side of the frame, and remove the keder from the profile. Fold the fabric over the keder and insert it into the keder slot at regular intervals as work your way to the corners.

  3. Fold the excess fabric inwards and insert the keder into the corner of the frame. Do this for both corners of the longest side.

  4. Repeat these steps for the opposite side of the frame. Start in the middle and end at the corners.

  5. Fold the fabric over the keder, then insert it into the keder slot on both remaining sides.

  6. Push any remaining bumps along the profile further into the keder slot to fully secure the fabric.

  7. Repeat these steps for each side of the entire Cube Frame.

Your Cube PrintFrame is now completely installed and ready to be displayed!
