If we would have had to pay for these replacements, we would have dumped the cubepro immediately. (About the only thing that wasn't replaced in our printer was the structure and the motors.) All the boards, a few nozzles, build plates, etc-all replaced under warrantee prior to our straying from the ecosystem. you'll want to wait if you still have warrantee left. Now-we didn't do this until our warrantee expired. We even do this for some of our remaining 3d systems cartridges! for now, we just feed from the top and it works great. This way we can use the original top cover and feed the filament thru the feeding tubes, keeping everything internal. we can choose any of the materials, load them into the extruder using the "Control Jets" option on the touch panel and print away! Eventually, we will design a custom spool holder that also holds one of the chips from the cartridge. We also designed a custom spool hanger and we we hang 5 or 6 spools above the printer. If you're printing with PLA, you can just leave the top cover off-just make sure you're not trying to heat the chamber, as all the heat will escape and the machine will just sit there trying to reach the specified temperature. We built a little tent to replace the top cover and feed the material thru a small hole in the center of the tent. you may have to get clever here, but you can load the material you wish to print with from the top. Just load the machine with empty cartridges and make sure your start script matches them. This is nice because your start script doesn't ever have to change. This may not work forever, but to date, we have not had an issue printing on an empty cartridge. It should be a very small, non-zero number. NEXT-the firmware of the cubepro checks to see if the amount of material that the printed file is going to use is still left in the cartridge. (not necessarily what you're printing with)įor instance-if you have a loaded PLA cartridge, the cubepro file must have a material number that corresponds to PLA (natural pla is 214) These number are in the start script. You must have a cartridge loaded-AND the cubepro file you are printing must have the correct material type identified FOR THE LOADED CARTRIDGE. Can I use any materialI want and not have to deal with the cartridge thinking it is empty? You say this like there is an alternative.
