Re: What you've learned about your Cube 3D Printer
I've read that they've updated the firmware so it keeps track of how much filament and will stop reading the cartridge chip after it is used up.
In all honesty while it's not in the "spirit of FIRST" we will probably end up selling ours. I already own a 300$ Makibox A6 printer that can do ABS and PLA with the same performance as the cube.
We would rather sell it for 1000$ buy a second Makibox for 300$ and use the 700$ to buy filament at 1/10th of the price.
It's really a shame that 3D systems isn't selling the filament at cost to FIRST teams.
