Just finished the first test print without the CubeitMod. It's my 'pièce de résistance' , the item I use to test the bulk filament. So these are my first results

This is what I did:
- Use the .ini without the CubeitMod
- Selected the Cube device in Kisslicer
- Selected the Matterhackers filament (don' t know if nescecarry)
- Imported my .stl
- did some small adjustments (infil to 12.5%)
- Let kisslicer do its magic and save the .bfb file
- Used Codex64 to convert it into Cube dialect
- renamed the file and put it on a USB stick

Started the Cube, and selected the file printfile
and behold, it worked! It's not just working, the way kisslicer works is realy a benefit (at least with my filament).
The cube slicer is always filling vertical or horizontal, and filling every gap in a horizontal or vertical path. Kisslicer (at least with my current project) is filling diagonally, and is filling each area seperatly. So no overspill or threads (don't know the correct word for it, but those thin fillament threads that sometimes occur)

The only thing I have to investigate further is something Bobo said, and it seems to affect me to. The first layer is somewhat strange. It' s like an outer circle around the object with a .2 mm gap. So you have a small rimm on the bottom of the object.

So a big thanks to Bobo for his work on this. Never tought it would be this easy ;-) I will report back after I have experimented some more....
