Cube 3D printer discussion / Cura and Cube 2
« on: March 30, 2016, 10:26:57 am »
I've been using KISSlicer ever since i learned that it's possible to use other slicers than Cube's own SW and i've been quite happy with it. However, i'm also interested in trying other slicers and Cura is one that produces BfB style g-code out of the box.

So here are my settings for ABS, as attachment. You should be able to load it in Cura. I'm using latest version of Cura, 15.04.4. If not, let me know and i can post screenshots from Cura or individual settings.
For PLA, printing temperature needs to be changed of course.

One thing to note is that i'm no longer using the default Cube extruder, instead i have Airtrippers Bowden extruder, which affects two things:
  • In Cura's Advanced tab, under Restraction, set the Speed to 40.0 and Distance to 0.05 or lower. The values i'm using might not work with default extruder setup
  • In Basic tab, adjust flow % so it fits your needs. Before the new extruder, i used 130%

Also i haven't really tweaked the printing speed options to the fastest possible, i've been using relatively slow values to get good quality

Few notes about actually printing the .bfb file:
