I know a MendelMAX owner printing at 40 microns. Either way, few printers actually stop at the rated minimum.
The specs on their web site say it's 100 micron. The software also only works on Windows so that eliminates all of the Mac and Linux users out there. obj (which most current slices can) or AMF files (which are _supposed_ to be a new 'standard' format for 3d printing. I don't see much information on the software, but it apparently only works with stl files so it cannot handle. The software could potentially implement restrictions on what models you can print. I wonder if they are brining DRM into the 3d printing fold. Not sure what that means exactly but it usually implies DRM. It will likely never get those - or the other options like PVA, flexible PLA, etc.Īlso it seems that you have to 'activate' the machine. Also, I'm really enjoying the Wood any Nylon filament options now which would not be possible on the CubeX. I normally always print at 80micron on my Ultimaker (default with NetFabb) and often go down to 40. I find it interesting that this only goes down to 125 micron and is not configurable beyond 3 settings (500, 250, and 125 micron). I'm happy to help everyone who has helped me so much on these forums. If anyone has any questions about it after it arrives, just PM me. Overall, I'm really looking forward to receiving my CubeX Trio next month. No more aborted prints because the filament ran out. The cartridges also tell the printer exactly how much material remains, so you can't start a print if you won't have enough filament to complete it. The humidity-controlled smart cartridges are also more expensive than standard rolls of filament, but they tell the printer what settings to use for the material inside (ABS or PLA), so you don't have to remember to change the settings. They target the newly upgraded Cube as their consumer printer. They call it a "prosumer" printer, because of the options and pricing. It's also pretty pricey, if you get the three extruder model. The build volume is vast, with the ability to print out a regulation sized basketball (which wouldn't bounce, of course.) The printer even maintains it's current position in the print process so that if the power goes out, it will resume printing right where it left off when the power returns. The CubeX is designed to be trouble free and "just work." It's a tank of a printer at a whopping 84 pounds. 3DSystems literally invented 3D printing 30 years ago, so they know a thing or two about it. The CubeX printer looks to be a great tool for people like myself who don't have time to tinker with their printer constantly. Just a note about a new printer that seems likely to raise the bar for consumer 3D printing.
