Cube 3D printer community

I have had a very similar experience as Dan. I was very excited when I received my Cube. Got it out of the box, set it up, pushed the power button and... NOTHING. POS wouldn't power up. Support at at 3Dsytems wouldn't help me because I didn't buy it directly from them. The seller fortunately for took the item back. I bought second unit from another source. My hopes were very high when this one actually powered on. The excitement was short lived however when I finally started printing pieces. This printer always creates a flare on the bottom of the print. It always makes a small circle on every piece printed. One of the brand new spools of filament broke and punched a hole through the feed tube. This of makes the entire spool unusable and just another piece of a large useless paper weight. When printing parts it will not print the top or bottom of the model. I have tried several models both that I made and some that I downloaded from the internet. the pictures are not as good as I hoped they might be but you can see what I am talking about from them. Besides the small blob that it makes down the entire height of the piece it also does not fill the space between the inner and outer diameter of the piece. The blob is the only thing holding the piece together. The software is a joke. Being a software engineer I may be a little critical on this aspect but I would be humiliated to release a piece of garbage like this. There is absolutely no control over the print. If you by chance forgot to set supports and need them you must completely delete the file and reload it to set them. The view does not rotate or change in any fashion even though the buttons are there. And yes I have the latest versions of software and firmware. I am truly impressed that a company that produces such hot steaming piles is still in business.
