CUBIFY CUBE PRO SOFTWARE
CUBIFY CUBE PRO PLUS

It uses only 3D Systems’ proprietary filaments that also include a rinse-away support material. This model is capable of printing in ABS, PLA, and nylon filaments with a diameter of 1.75mm.

The default software is also set to print objects without supports like in the Cube 3D model, meaning prints that have sections wider than the base may not always come out accurately. There were, however, few cases of prints warping when using ABS, especially as their size increases. The prints are not exposed to the temperature changes in the outside environment, so they’re not too susceptible to uneven cooling or cracking. Therefore, the temperature remains stable inside the build area. The good thing though is that the enclosed design of the printer creates a sealed and heated chamber, and it’s reinforced by an insulating foam lining around the front panel to prevent heat from escaping. However, while most prints we produced had no issues, some did fail to stick to the bed and resulted in a gooey mess. It’s not heated, but most prints had no issues sticking on the bed. The build plate itself is a thick ceramic glass that’s covered on top with a white plastic sheet.

It offers plenty of room to create substantial prints of various shapes. The others measure 9.56w x 9.06h x 10.6d inches (Duo) and 7.89w x 9.06h x 10.6d inches (trio) respectively. It’s the largest build area amongst the three versions. The build area of the base model (single-extruder version) measures 11.2w x 9.06h x 10.6d inches. The quality is inconsistent though when using the fast resolution of 300 microns. However, printing is very slow at 70-micron resolution, but the quality and level of detail of the print are great. The printing speed is 15mm/s which is fast for small projects and higher resolution. All the dimensions and details seem to always come out almost perfectly, particularly when doing fairly large or simple designs like sloped-or-rounded-top prints.Ĭomplex projects or designs with large, flat-surface tops tend to have problems like over extruding, missing layers, imperfections, or bed-height issues, especially when at higher resolution settings. You get the best results with PLA filament than ABS. It produces prints that are of decent quality. The print head reaches maximum temperatures of 536☏ (280☌) and similar to the Cube 3D printer, it runs sideways (on X and Y axes) as the build plate moves up and down (along the Z-axis). The CubePro offers different extruder head options a single extruder head model that prints just using one color, a dual extruder model that prints using two colors, and a triple extruder model that prints three colors.Īll the extruders can print at resolutions of 70, 200, and 300 microns. It takes up quite a lot of space and it’s heavy too, weighing 90.7 pounds, so you might need help to carry it around. There are even see-through glass panels placed on the front and back of the printer that allows you to easily monitor the ongoing printing inside. Generally, this is a strong and rigid printer with great overall stability. The Z-axis frame is a thick metal plate too and there’s also a plastic plate placed over the electronics to help keep everything clean.

The base plate is equally a solid 3/16 inch aluminum plate and it holds both the electronics and the frame in place.

It’s sturdy and rigid – it keeps the machine steady during printing. The frame is a heavy-duty industrial-grade metal. The same applies to the hardware, which is of high quality – there’s no knock-off parts or any cost-saving omissions.

The sleek white cuboid frame with rounded contours, plus the acrylic enclosure with transparent glass panels on the front part and the back makes it look elegant and professional.Įverything about it has been well thought out and optimized, from the intelligent component placement to the organized cable control systems and clean circuitry, you get an overall ordered feel both inside and outside the printer’s casing. Like most of the other 3D Systems’ printers, the CubePro has a simple but stylish design.

Supported Filaments: PLA, ABS, Nylon cartridges, and rinse-away support material.

Compatible with only 3D System’s software.

Some prints occasionally fail to adhere to the print bed.

The quality of prints varies at fast resolution.
