I own a 3d touch. The hardware compnents are really high grade. But I replaced all acrylic parts (bed holder) and the prining bed with milled aluminium. The bed is also heated now. Can print the full volume with ABS now. As soon as the electronics break down ill exchange it with an open source variant. I’d also like to replace the hot-end with a hot-end from another manufacturer.

Hi, Read the kisslicertalk forum to see the last evolution of the cubepro liberation ! Some of cubepro users are able to start a print with a file sliced by kisslicer but with the cartridge inside. I didn’t see lot of print from cubepro but the quality is equal to the stocked cubex with pla. I hope the little car heater inside the pro increase the quality for ABS. The funny thing is i printed polycarbonate, pla soft, hips, wood with my cubex before the new pro version, i don’t understand why they close so much their printer… One time i’ve to make a comparative print between a stocked version vs an upgraded cubex with kisslicer. Really it’s day and night…
You mean WITH kisslicer it is far better?
I sell these printers and have a CubePro Trio. It was expensive and so are the materials. Well built machine. I have not had to mess around with it at all. Supports ABS and PLA. Nylon soon also. Wireless printing is nice too. Transfer speed could be faster. I use a Jump drive and USB interface port when I have a huge file. For somebody that wants a high quality and well built FDM printer and does not want to mess around with adjustments, software, CubePro is a good fit.

great printer glad to have one. Simple and easy to use. No hassle setup. The Slicer software is a joke of some sort to get you to look at there other printing needs. Basically the retail line of these “CUBIFY”.Com is a joke. But I appreciate how they bring $$$ to devolve educational programs and a whole ecosystem of products. Unfortunately I constantly hear myself complaining about the support and employee knowledge of their products. 3D systems has bought and continues to buy companies doing well in this industry and repackage their product and ruins the functionality of the equipment. Be long wait times for part or long wait time for supplies. I only use “cube products” because it’s dumb not to… the propriatary cartridge system is where all additive manufacturing devices will be in the future…
I have the new Cube 3rd gen printer. The printer experience has been pretty good for prints but this is my first printer so I have nothing to compare it to.
I paid extra for their software which was a mistake. But again, I have limited experience with other 3D design software.
the delay in shipping the printer and even longer delay in shipping extra spindles (of various colors) was incredibly long - even by this industry’s standard it was ridiculous long - 4 months for printer…more than 6 months for more colored cartridges.
the proprietary cartridge system is annoying and expensive as hell! (excuse my french).
No wonder 3D systems stock is getting killed (actually I have no idea why 3D systems stock sucks but it hurts be a shareholder!)
I have the CubeX Duo. I upgraded it to three print heads. I did make quite a few tweaks to it to get it working right but happy now with what I can do with it
I would like to meet with someone also using a CubePro
I am living in The Netherlands
Anyone interested in a get together and exchanging experiences
We are reselling cubify in China, but involving too much after-sales service… Anyway, I would like to propose ground-breaking desktop 3D scanner at Kickstarter, it could be a good integration with your 3D printers.

The Cubify printers are a great entry to 3D printing. The Cube 3 for under $1k gives you 75 micron resolution and two color printing. The Cube Pro line up is the same resolution but basketball size build. I think many makers are hesitant to go with 3D Systems because they are the elephant in the room. I own a company that resells the full line of 3D Systems printers and the entire product line up is great. They are not open source and you have to use their filament, but they stand behind their products. Exchange program for supplies is unbeatable and tech support is great. IF you want to buy one, I can get you a good deal and ship anywhere in the US.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think ill go with the Cube Pro Trio as this seems to be the most reliable.Does anyone know if they are still having delayed shipments?
Hi Kedon,
I can supply you with a CubePro Trio. And I have one here with me in Texas as my reseller demo unit.
I carry CAD software also.
Send me an email to jeffopel@ncscompany.com and I will check on delivery and so forth

Hello Kedon
We are 3DSYSTEMS reseller for professional and Cubify series in Canada for all of the cube the shipments are on time these days.
Erm… Why the Cubify pic, @kendongreenidge ? Just to highlight the brand on the forum landing page, maybe??
I may be wrong but I don’t think this forum’s intended to be a marketing opportunity for anyone cheap enough to exploit it.

We have ordered several units in the last few weeks with no delays. I think as a reseller, we may be getting the units a little quicker. If I can help, let me know.
I did not post that photo .If you are accustomed to being on here you would know that.Not sure how ,but a photo appears based on the topic.
I am located in Aouth America.Thanks Though!
Thanks for your feedback .I am located in South America
Thanks @cad ninja !Would you mind emailing me or posting just a couple photos of the quality prints you get?
Oh! My mistake. I do beg our pardon. Guess I must be a bit too sensitive to the latest trend of spammers who post ads in the guise of product recommendations. Let’s face it, 3D seems rampant with BS at the moment. Actually, I am accustomed to being on here but, must say I hadn’t noticed pics mysteriously appearing. I’ll have to keep and eye out for that.
