    Cube3 Filament *SOFTWARE* Hack is here!!!

    This is our first release of the Cube Toolbox for Cube 3 and Cube Pro firmware.

    With this tool you can extract, repack and of course patch the firmware.
    By patching the firmware you can stop the counting process of the filament chip and thus use filament of your choice.

    We do not take any responsibility and we are not liable for any damage caused through use of our Cube Toolbox.

    I wanted to wait until I got confirmation that other people had tested this, but I accidentally flashed my firmware with this. I have tried updating my firmware through USB in the past using the official file from 3DS and it said it couldn't find a valid firmware file. So I just wanted to see if this one would show as valid, but not flash it yet. Well guess what? Once it finds the file, it doesn't ask you if you want to do it. It just does it!!

    So after flashing it, I tried to do a test print. I specified that it is PLA in the Cube Print software and I have a PLA cartridge in the printer. The printer shows that the job I saved is ABS and when I hit print, it says "This print requires ABS material".

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the hack by the way!

    I flashed it back to the original firmware from 3DS and it is back to normal.

    I guess it doesn't work with a 0% cartridge (I don't think it was intended to). I tried it with a 0% ABS and it said not enough material and no option to override.

    Anyways, I'm looking forward to using this in the future.

    So, I flashed it back to the hack to test printing in ABS and it works quite well. I have a 1% ABS cartridge and it stays at 1% as advertised. There is one oddity though that is really not a problem. I just thought you might like to know.

    The cartridge I have is ABS Coral. I set it to ABS Coral in the Cube Print software and when I go to print it, it says I have the wrong color. It's not a problem since you can just hit ok, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

    Is there still a link here back to V1.0? I highly recommend it for novice users. Only the 100% thing gets in the way. Small price to pay.
