The CubePro is designed to use 3D Systems’ proprietary CubePro Print Client, which is adequate but lacks a lot of in-depth features. Control is managed through a full-color touchscreen display with a host of options from connecting to a WiFi network, naming the printer, providing detailed instructions for filament loading, cartridge status, calibrating the print plate, updating firmware and so on. The CubePro has USB flash drive, USB to PC, and WiFi connectivity. As for what type of materials, the CubePro supports PLA, ABS, Infinity Rinse-Away support materials, and Nylon. The 3D Systems cartridges do have their benefits though as they are fitted with an embedded microchip that communicates with the printer to indicate what material and even color is being used. The company offers 24 different color cartridges (Gold, Bronze, Pale Yellow, Forest Green, Coral, Navy Blue, Dark Gray, Industrial Gray, etc.) that do cost substantially more than third-party alternatives. Regarding filament options, the CubePro sticks to 3D Systems’ 1.75 mm diameter proprietary locked filament Smart Cartridge. The print head runs along the X and Y axes, while the build plate moves along the Z-axis in a classic Cartesian configuration. The extruder can print an incredibly thin 70 microns on the slowest high definition speed, 200 microns on standard definition, and 350 microns on fast mode. The base model includes a single extruder, while 3D Systems also offers a dual extruder and triple extruder equivalent, known as the CubePro Duo and CubePro Trio respectively. The lack of a heated bed doesn’t matter so much due to the temperature controlled build chamber. The build plate is a ceramic glass non-heated plate. The build area measures 285mm x 270mm x 230mm, which is ample room to print more substantial and ambitious models with ease. The printer is among the safest on the market and is, in theory, perfect for an educational context or home office rather than a barebones kit destined for a chipboard workbench in a dusty garage. The sealed effect is partly achieved through attention to detail in the way the front panel is lined with acoustic insulating foam to prevent heat and noise from escaping.

The climate chamber is sealed and heated to offer a stable environment for prints free from the effects of environmental changes in temperature. We can’t stress how sturdy this printer looks – the weight and rigid frame ooze stability. The top cover is removable to allow access to the inner workings of the print head for easy filament change and repairs if needed.
The CubePro is one large printer, weighing in at 90.7 lbs and supported by a heavy-duty, industrial grade metal frame, surrounded by an all-over acrylic enclosure with glass panels on the front and back for easy print monitoring. The same can be said for the hardware, which is of the highest caliber with no knock-off parts or cost saving omissions. The CubePro is a perfectionist designer’s dream where every aspect of the printer has been thought out and optimized, down to details like the organized cable control systems, clean circuitry, the intelligent choice of component placement, and the overall ordered feel inside and outside of the casing. It retains the enclosed cuboid aesthetic reminiscent of a product designed by the darlings of Silicon Valley, Apple, with rounded contours, a sleek finish, and an overall look that screams professionalism.
#CUBE PRO DUO MANUAL SOFTWARE#
In particularly a software called IdeaMaker is what I'm interested in since I've seen that you can make custom supports and that would be very useful for what I'm doing.Borrowing heavily from its namesake and smaller cousin, the Cube, the CubePro is as much a rejig as an oversized reimagining of the original.

On top of this whenever I download some other slicer it gets to the printer setup and there's a whole bunch of settings and parameters for the printer that I haven't been able to find, stuff like Firmware or Nozzle Diameter (Something that id expect to be easy to find). For the prints that I am doing I've been looking around at alternative slicers however the cube pro has its own file format for builds and I'm not sure if any other software has the option to export those specifically and I also have no idea id the CubePro can read any files other than its own. So, having bought this cube pro duo 3d printer a few days ago I have come to see how significantly limiting the default slicer software that comes with the machine is.
