Nice work, I hope you get a lot of fun with it.Its a good base to start from to make a 3D printer, now you made it much better.by fg dude - General
Quotehisforhack A quick update on the problem of the Y axis missed steps and shifting.(photo) Now the problem is that I can only use one extruder. After some more testing I will be looking into upgrading to a "Rumba Board" so can set up the second extruded. Thanks for all the suggest Glad you find the solution and share it here for others. Have fun on the upgrade in the future. Cheers.by fg dude - General
Quotehisforhack Hi to all I am new to this forum. I am in the process of converting my CubePro Duo with a MKS Gen 1.4 control board, using the original power supply, hotends,etc... the 2-Y axis steppers motor are run in parallel using a single DRV 8825 stepper drivers. I am having issues with Y-axis miss steps on my prints. The Refer voltage on all the stepper drives are set a .8 volts, I am consby fg dude - General
Quotejmar896 Would anyone be kind enough to share their firmware for their CubeX or CubePro? I have finally completed my build of my CubePro, but have been struggling tuning in things like the jerk. I would really appreciate it. No problem, its for Marlin, hope you can use it. Cheers.by fg dude - General
QuoteKmanOz Hi Guys New to this printer. Just bought a Duo and have read this long thread multiple times. To be honest I am none the wiser as to which way to go. I would have thought by now that maybe someone would have redesigned (printed) a whole new print head assembly. To me it seems that may be the easiest thing to do but of course I may be wrong. That with a couple or 3 e3d v6 on a customby fg dude - General
sorry to heare that story, I hope you get along with the guy in the future and everyting gets ok again.by fg dude - General
Quotethe_digital_dentist It would be better to leave it in the housing. The housing really improves the structural rigidity. True.by fg dude - General
QuoteDancook It happens in every print... I've sliced with three different slicers (Cura, Slic3r, S3D) with the same results... different resolutions... It has to be something physical with the printer... I also considered "heat banding" from the bed, but that kitten was printed without heat. Did you check the rear Z rods where the bed glides up and down on, there could be a flat side on the baby fg dude - General
Nice and clean advancedrescue , I like itby fg dude - General
Quoteadvancedrescue Right now I have mine setup to zero in back left. I got my y endstop in the back right, and x endstop on the left. So when homing it raises hitting the z endstop, then left to hit x endstop, then back to hit the y endstop. After zeroing out homing ithe extruder position is off the actual print bed. Then the extruders move forward to the back left corner of the bed, then viaby fg dude - General
QuoteDaGameFace Anyone try to remove the X axis yet? Ideally I would like to remove a ton of weight from it but not sure that I can take the smooth rods of the X axis out of the blocks that are the Y axis without tearing down the whole printer. I think you have no other choice than to remove one side of the printer completely.by fg dude - General
I know, still a good thing for others and a big for the people who did it and share it for free.by fg dude - General
Quotebolsoncerrado Just in case any Cube3/Pro owners read this thread, the firmwares have been hacked to allow third party filament !!!by fg dude - General
Quotethe_digital_dentist Interesting... Are you aware that a lot of people have problems with the graphic LCD overloading the 5V regulator on the RAMPS board? Why autoleveling? Autoleveling is great for machines that can't maintain the bed leveling, but these Cubex machines are stable and don't require releveling once they are set up (at least mine hasn't). No, did not know that, so far I havby fg dude - General
Putting your spool holders on the back or on the side may also work. As you know mine sits on the back or the side of the printer and I have no problems.by fg dude - General
Quotejmar896 Hi everyone, I have a CubePro duo, same kinematics as the CubeX, that I am also converting to a reprap, I don't frequent the forums and just found this, but I am well into the conversion already (Electronics stripped, hotends removed, RUMBA and PSU already isntalled, just waiting on my new v6's). Before I reassemled the gantry I forgot to check the pulleys on the printer, does anyoneby fg dude - General
Quotethe_digital_dentist That's a good idea! Maybe rev2... It can be put on eider side, front or back of the top, even slide it to get as close to the extruder to get minimal drag. After done printing, remove fillement from the printhead and put the top cover onby fg dude - General
Looks OK, as long as it serves your needs. I did it this way so I can put the top back on when done printing.by fg dude - General
QuoteDancook Quoteadvancedrescue All this may or may not get worked on tomorrow, as hopefully my wife gives me my Christmas present tonight which will be the duet wifi board. My mother in law(wife probably ordered for her) got me 2 E3D volcano extruders and hotends. Only issue is I think they got the 12V, which I wanted 24V. It's fine for now, and perhaps for good, I can upgrade to 24V extrudby fg dude - General
Mmm, not familiair with these boards, hope someone could help you out here.by fg dude - General
Quoteadvancedrescue Quotethe_digital_dentist Auto switching just means that the power input to the power supply can be either 120 or 240V. It has nothing to do with the output voltage. The chamber heater runs on the line voltage, not low voltage DC. The fan that blows the air over the heater is rated for 24VDC, but would operate very quietly on a lower voltage. The CubeX machines had 15V poweby fg dude - General
Now I see it, nice print result..by fg dude - General
Quoteobelisk79 Latest print, relatively easy object but I was testing printing at 0.06mm later height. I have some slight ringing in the print but it came out fantastic Picture? only tried 0.1 layer hight and it looks already awesome, so i like to see the 0.06 print qualityby fg dude - General
Quotethe_digital_dentist Does the LCD/emcoder/SD card reader work with cables that long? Are you printing from SD? Yes it works, printing from sd card as you see with no problems and no special cable used eider.by fg dude - General
Quotecozmicray FG_Dude What firmware is loaded in your controller? Any mods to the code? I have Marlin-1.1.0-RC7 loaded and did the usual changes like step/sec end-stops true or false but nothing fancy, all changes I have made ware here on this tread to share. Cheers.by fg dude - General
I have made a short video from the Cubex, let me know what you think of it orby fg dude - General
Quoteadvancedrescue Anyone want to send me their cubex filament cartridges? Even if empty I have two empty ones, if you like, but shipping would be expensive outside Europe.by fg dude - General
