Re: CubeX + Rambo = Freedom - 12 years ago
Has anyone heard anything new about this conversion? I'm currently trying to switch my Duo to RAMPs 1.4 Why wouldn't a RUMBA work for 3 extruders?by nissin - General Mendel Topics
Re: Had enough with CubeX, looking for reprap migration 
- 12 years ago
I'm in the same position and slowly piecing my kit together. I'm torn between modifying my existing Cubex Duo, or building a new printer from scratch. My main goal is to have a printer with a heated bed, which is quite the hassel with a CubeX unless you want to spend $850 for a stand alone solution. I just finished a RAMPs 1.4 / Mega bundle and I've used the Repetier configurator to create a cby nissin - General Mendel Topics
Re: Double Sized Mendel? - 12 years ago
I've been doing a lot of research on building a larger size printer and I was wondering if I use the repetier/repetier-host combo, where do I input the changed dimensions in the firmware (or do you)? I've downloaded the firmware and I've started going through it, but I haven't found anything significant yet. Is it something you put into the host software then just rely on axis stops on the prinby nissin - Mechanics
Re: MK2 Heat Bed Wiring- stand alone - 12 years ago
I've looked into the RAMBo possibility and it's becoming more feasible to me, it's kind of confusing with all the different configurations. I'd wire the two Y motors in parallel, which I'll check when I take the bottom panel off because I think that's how they're wired anyway. I just have 3 more questions: -I have a Duo so that means I have 2 extruders, if I switch to Ramps does that mean I caby nissin - Controllers
Re: MK2 Heat Bed Wiring- stand alone - 12 years ago
I'd probably opt for the varying temperature then. I've heard of people putting RAMBo's in CubeX's, but those are ~$180 ( ). Is there another board people are using that's $40?by nissin - Controllers
Re: MK2 Heat Bed Wiring- stand alone - 12 years ago
Well, I don't exactly have anything 'stand alone' operational or even close, just a group of parts. If I go the mega+ramps route, will that run separately from my Cubex board or would that completely replace it? Ideally, I'd like to have it run separately, but if replacing the board is as easy as unplugging the motors/hotends/sensors/etc and plugging them back into the new one, I'd entertain thby nissin - Controllers
MK2 Heat Bed Wiring- stand alone - 12 years ago
I've had a CubeX for about 9 months because I didn't think I had the skill to build my own and I wanted a huge build volume. I enjoyed more success with the prints than most have, I got lucky from what I read. Since then I've abandoned their material cartridges and their slicing software for standard/much cheaper Printrbot material, etc, and I'm using KISSlicer software and it's a whole lot betby nissin - Controllers
