Bumping to find out if anyone has more detailed information on doing the electronics conversion on the CubeX Trio.by BillDempsey - General Mendel Topics
Re: Had enough with CubeX, looking for reprap migration 
- 12 years ago
Yeah, I had found that thread after posting in this one. It seems like there is a lot of interest in doing this, but people are struggling to get it to work. I wish I had the mad skillz some of the geniuses on here have. I'd take a stab at doing it myself. I just don't know enough to attempt it. My apologies. I got to both of these threads by searching for CubeX in the forums. I just noticed thby BillDempsey - General Mendel Topics

@BKasper My wish list for the new printer you're designing is: 1. Similar tank-like mechanical stability to the CubeX 2. Big build volume, like the CubeX 3. 3 extruders 4. A quick heating heated build platform that can handle higher temperature materials than ABS 5. Nozzles that can print high enough temperatures to do nylon and polycarbonate 6. Self-leveling build platform - I've seen this onby BillDempsey - General Mendel Topics
Re: CubeX + Rambo = Freedom - 12 years ago
The terrible print quality on the CubeX is due to the insanely bad 3DSystems slicer software. For a company that's been in 3-D printing for 30 years, they sure seem like noobs when it comes to their slicing software. Over on the KISSlicer forums, people worked out a way to use KISSlicer instead, and the print quality shot through the roof. The prints are accurate, highly repeatable, and look amazby BillDempsey - General Mendel Topics

Hey Duck, Can you keep us informed of your progress in converting? I'm in the same situation. I'd like to swap out the electronics on my CubeX Trio, too. The CubeX mechanism is really sturdy and precise, but the electronics are a nightmare of proprietary moose droppings. The Trio seems to be an even bigger problem because there are 7 stepper motors, total. There are three extruders, two Y axis stby BillDempsey - General Mendel Topics
