Hi Tom,
As always, thanks for the insight! When I have time to dig around in this finicky unit I will let you know what I find. What encourages me is the fact that it did work well initially, so...

Hi Doug,
That sounds like an excellent idea! It is very strange the way it is printing. Instead of in the center, like it should, it will start printing way to the left, or sometimes the rear,...

Hi,
I am not quite sure what you need. Do you need the gear box assembly, or just the two cylindrical "gears" that go into the gear box? The gear boxes are also marked for PLA or ABS, does that...

Well, your interpretation of the issue makes complete sense to me, though correcting the problem if it is anything other than re-installing the firmware and/or turning the machine on and off, will be...

Thank you buddybu. That sounds like a great idea. The simpler the better, right? Thanks again, Rob

Hi Tom,
An example? let's say I am printing a cube. It starts...

All of a sudden my Cube 3 stopped printing projects as I originally designed them! The object that was printed resembled what I designed but was basically out of whack. I am using the original Cubify...

Wow Doug! Thanks for that easy to understand, thorough coverage of my problem! I think that you hit the nail on the head....I just never stopped to think that my machine was passing along bogus...

Tom,
I just want to thank you for all the help, ideas, and motivation you have given me over the past few months regarding the Cube3 printers I own. With your inspiration and encouragement I have...

Hi TD, This sounds like a marvelous idea, but most of it went right over my head. Anyway you could illustrate what you are talking about would be most useful!!! One problem I continue to have is...

Hi Tom, So there is no way to just use a torpedo level, or some such thing? It drove me crazy trying to adjust those wheels. You would think if they knew they were going to be telling you to turn...

I have a peculiar machine: it seems to run me around in an infinite loop when I try to level the print surface! I spent 30 minutes at it the other day and it still was not leveled. The three...

Hi,
I have modified quite a few print nozzles such that they pretty much look like those illustrated by TommyDee and have written a document explaining my process. I would send you a picture but...

Thanks Tom. Problem is, I do not understand what you sent me, much less how to use it! Is Cubify INVENT in there somewhere? It was in the other list you supplied me with, but it turned out to be a 14...

Wow, that would be outstanding. That is very gracious of you and will certainly be appreciated if you can find it! Best regards, Rob

When I bought my original Cube2 and Cube 3 printers they came with 3DSystems design software called INVENT. There was no disk, you needed a registration number to activate it. Does anyone have such a...

Hi Tom,
My initial question was how to level the plate, especially when the system keeps telling you, on and on, to turn the rear wheel 5 clicks, front wheel 4 clicks, etc., etc. It just goes on...

Hi TomD, Although this didn't really answer my question specifically, you did explain what creates those annoying bands/grooves that occasionally appear in my prints. It never occurred to me that the...

Okay, let's see if you folks have a workable solution for me. I can NOT get auto level to level my printing platform anymore: I am assuming that the "light leveling technology" employed is defunct....

Thank you for the detailed answer, in the "Kings" English: to the point and easy to understand! That was exactly what I needed to know. We do not have that type of glue stick here in New Jersey, but...

Hi CruciasNZ, Thank you for the prompt feedback. I am curious though, how do you use the blue masking tape? It is only sticky on one side, correct? Which side of the blue tape do you print on:...

Thank you TD. That is a great help! Rob

Hi, I would love to know what you folks think is the BEST adhesive to use on the Cube3 print plate. Also, what is the best way to use it: how much, does it need to dry thoroughly first, does heating...

I believe the Cube3 came with Cube Print, software that allowed you to select the type (ABS or PLA) of filament, its color, and the scale/size of a print project before sending it to the Cube3. Does...

Thank you for the Amazon address for the fittings. That was unbelievably helpful, as has been all your other insight into modification of the Cube3.
