Cube 3D printer discussion / Re: FrankenCube v0.1 Its ALIVE!!!
« on: May 09, 2015, 02:49:18 am »
Very pleased i found this forum / thread.
I recent acquired a CubeX model..
Now i had an Ultimaker some time back which was one of the early versions back when they upgraded many parts but not the online instructions.. you can assume how much fun that was especially for how new all of this was to us all.
Sadly i had to part with it.
Anyhow. Having been out of the loop for some time a Cartridge for a printer is an insane idea and we're not in 1998 anymore.
My Cubex is certainly pretty and looks sturdy but after reading reviews and countless threads of issues and so on i'm now contemplating ripping out all the boards and general electronics and replacing them with tried and tested guts of the Ultimaker.
You mentioned about the Hotend only being 12v. the Cubex is a dual head ( which i've not had any experience with) I'm wondering if the only salvageable parts are the frame, motors, gantry and general parts and scrap the rest?
