Our team has been working with 3D printers for about 3 seasons now, and in all honesty, I think the Cube printers had given us the most trouble out of any printer we've ever used. We've worked with MakerBot Replicator 2 and Generation 5 printers, as well as RepRap and a few custom built printers. So far we've spent about 6 hours actualy printing with the Cube Ekocycles and about 30 hours troubleshooting problems.

The icing on the cake it the cost of the 3D Systems "proprietary" filament, which is approximately eight times the going price per kg of high quality printing filament. This combined with the large and consistent downtime of both printers (we have two Ekocycles) make 3D Systems a VERY hard recommendation for those in the market for 3D printers.
