CubePro And Simplify3d Working

[TommyDee]

Doug, v1.87 of CubePro can be decoded and edited.

Normally, CubePro purges and wipes between material changes.

I suspect the S3D script is meant to be edited to only include one G1 code depending on the nozzle being used.

The others can be used for nozzle changes but they need to be edited for every nozzle change.

So here is a question for you Doug - can S3D replace a single line of G-code with multiple lines through a 'find & replace' script?

[Cubical]

The 3 G1 commands are the different extruder locations on the bin. Tweak those numbers and remove lines for the extruders other than 1.

I don't know much about G-code. For instance, how do the three G1 commands refer to the three extruder locations? All three lines are the same except the Y value so how does it know does it know which extruder each line is referring to?

[TommyDee]

You're right @Cubical - I misread the script. That is the wipe motion in the y direction. To the bin [136.000] into the bin [161.000] and forward a small amount [157.000]. Then it returns to outside the bin a few commands later. The values are millimeters. You can tweak them to your liking so it hits the bin the way you want, also the x-value [118.000]; one can subtract 20mm offset for the second extruder; 40mm for the 3rd.

G1 is 'move to coordinate'.

"So here is a question for you Doug - can S3D replace a single line of G-code with multiple lines through a 'find & replace' script?"

I'm still looking into this but it doesn't appear that the post processing commands allow for injection of multiple lines of code. Still searching and hoping to trip over syntax that would allow this. So far I've found a simple tip of the day post that explains how six post processing commands are used.

But... I may have a better/simpler solution. I've noticed that my CubeX S3D prints do not even use the bin. They simply heat up above home of the print bed and then lay down a line of filament, offset from the object, at the very beginning of the print job.

I cannot find any specific setting or script that handles this function and this "purge line" isn't visible in the preview mode so I believe this is default behavior for S3D g-code? Actually, there is no command to feed filament so this line of filament is created from pressure already in place once the tip is up to temp, so it is a basic wipe motion.

Would this and a skirt be a better solution to the bin purge? If so then it would be as simple as removing the bin purge command lines from the script and enabling a skirt. Multiple color prints or the use of PVA are the big question marks. I'll try to find some time in the near future to test multi color prints with S3D on both the CubeX and Pro.

Yep, it appears that the CubePro g-code performs a similar wipe function following initialization. *Init contains bin purge commands.

Purging is a matter of convenience but i don't see it as being particularly functional. Using Cubify for CubePro makes a mess of dual-color prints anyway with little drools. I'd suggest a 'purge tower'. Much more effective.

Hi guys!


I have a problem with a Cube pro
I have 2x Cube Pro and 1x CubeX


Can you help me with firing up these printers?


I have:
1. Kisslicer
2. Simplify 3D


I need :
1. original software
2. CubeMo (or CubeX or I or whatever I need to use on Kisslicer or Simplify wit any filament)


Please help and thank you very much!

[TommyDee]

You are in luck. We have archived the Cubify server here - http://www.print3dforum.com/showthre...ube-File-Links

Simplify 3D has a CubePro profile available as long as you have a valid license.

Thank you! I love you mate <3

Cant seem to slice this file without 2 walls disappearing. (Also for some reason the files are scaled 10 fold so feel free to scaled down by 10%.
Would anyone be able to take a quick look and tell me what's happening or how to fix it? Alternatively, if you can get them into cubepro files without the walls missing I would be much obliged.
Best

Under advance, set the 'small detail' option. otherwise any wall less than 1mm will be removed.
