RepRap Cube X - 9 years ago
So I've removed the extruder/hotend assembly, mainboard, control interface, filament sensing system, limit switches, and extruder/axis motors from a 3d Systems Cube X duo. I replaced the axis motors with Kysan 1124192 steppers and attached the necessary pullies. I've installed a 3mm 24v Pico hotend. I've removed the Azteeg x3 controller board from my bukobot and installed it. I've installed tby bpgoss1 - Reprappers
Need tool for belt tensioner spring - 10 years ago
I was wondering if anyone knew about a tool for removing and reapplying belt tensioner springs. Before anyone goes off with "why are you doing this often enough that you need a tool?"

They are connecting to my azteeg3x controller boarby bpgoss1 - Reprappers

Re: Had enough with CubeX, looking for reprap migration 
- 10 years ago
I've begun this as well. The information in this forum is quite useful. I've removed the cube's board, touchscreen panel, usb plug, cartridge filament chip sensors and locking latches, as well as the hotend and filament tensioning assembly mechanism. Check out these optical sensors that watch the extruder gear and filament tensioning wheel turn. I've begun removing systems from my bukobot fby bpgoss1 - General Mendel Topics
