With that said, the issue with owning one of these printers in the year of 2020 becomes apparent.

Unfortunately, another announcement in September of 2019 stated that 3D Systems would no longer be maintaining the 3D Systems storefront where the CubePro filament and software were located. Product discontinuations are usually a bad omen, but when Cubify died, CubePro users continued to print on using proprietary filament cartridges offered by the company. Announcements like this aren’t the most comforting for the owner of a new CubePro printer… CubeAmatuer My hopes of quickly mastering this legacy machine were further crushed when I discovered that the creating company, 3D Systems, had announced in December of 2015 that they would be ending their consumer line of 3D printing products under the name of Cubify.

Consequently I found myself staring into the industrial cavern that was the interior of the printer with not the slightest idea of how to use it. Refer to our 3D Print Troubleshooting page.I bought the printer second hand so it didn’t come with any instructions (or a power cord or filament because the seller conveniently “forgot” that. Please refer to the user guide for setting the Z gap and leveling the print Pad. If the Z gap is to tight and the plate is not level, the material has nowhere to go and will throw a filament flow error. The error message received during the print is related to settings. No Filament Error Present - Material is extruding correctly - This confirms that the print jet is functioning correctly. If manually removing the clog does not resolve the issue a new print jet assembly will be needed. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, follow the link below for instructions on manually removing the clog. Go back to the control jets function to test the print jet. Go to the change cartridge function and load the filamentħ. Run for several minutes (If the filament flow error comes up, continue to steps for manually removing clog)Ħ. Once the actual temperature meets 290C, turn the RPMs to 1.0Ĥ. Go to the control jets function on the touch screenģ. Please follow the below instructions for removing the clog.ġ. Please follow the link below for steps on reloading the filament.įilament Flow Error - No material extruding - clicking noise present - The clicking noise is consistent with a clogged print jet. Follow steps below depending on what happens.įilament Flow Error - No material extruding - no clicking noise present - It is possible that the material is not properly loaded and the gears are not catching the filament. This will start the gears which should make the machine start extruding material. Once the actual temperature meets 260C, turn the RPM up to 4.0.

Print bed leveled and fully calibrated on 2/12/15 by Will GarzaĬheck the cartridge - Is the filament releasing freely from the cartridge without binding up. Open-source slicer (gcode preparation) software that is used for the other 3D printers will not work with this machine.Ĭalibration prints (specific to filament type):įilament (ABS, PLA, Nylon some time after August of 2014) comes in DRMed canisters from CubePro at approximately 500 grams for $99. Select the file you prepared from the print menu using the touch screen on the front of the printer.

Use the computer to the right of the CubePro (the one called "Artastic" was used in the past, in 2017 there may be a different computer, or download and install the proprietary software yourself) to prepare your files using the Cube pro software, then export the file to a USB thumbdrive and plug it into the USB port on the left side of the printer itself.

Methods to trick the machine into using standard filament, have been attempted (see below.) No authorization is required, but you may have to provide your own filament for this machine, which only uses proprietary filament, and costs about $99 per 600 gram spool. More work has to be done, but we should be able to print using 3rd party filament in the near future.
