Re: What you've learned about your Cube 3D Printer

In general it prints OK, but definitely has a heat issue when printing thin and small areas, like the tip of a pyramid. It seems the heat can't escape the print fast enough if the area is too small.

Other than the setup, it's been plug & play for us.

The extruder does dribble out some filament as it heats up, and that gob of goo will ruin the print before it finishes the raft, so we've been using an index card to knock most of it off before the print starts.

Solid was definitely more solid than Strong.I would estimate they are 70% and 90% infill, respectively.

IF I had paid full retail for the Cube I'd be upset, but for the price and what it is, it's OK.
