Re: Anyone heard more about the Ekocycle 3D printer?

Our printer is now activated, but it won't print. It thinks it is printing, but nothing is coming out during the test prints. I've gone through the quickstart instructions 3 times now (in painstaking detail) so I'm pretty convinced that I'm doing everything right.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any troubleshooting guide, so I guess I'll have to talk to Cubify support if I can't get it working by messing with it.

Having to activate a 3D printer and be dependent on the servers of the manufacturer is really messed up. You should not have to jump through those hoops to use a piece of hardware sitting in front of you.
