I'm tempted to go out and buy an Arduino and a G-shield for our Cube and just bypass the stock control system and use the existing motors. The existing Cube software is terrible, and the filament spools are expensive and too small.
Agreed as well, for an entirely different reason. We pulled the power cord out and forgot to loosen the barrel end and actually pulled out the entire power jack. The machine has been broken for 3-4 months now and customer service has sent us a replacement, but after repairing the jack, half of the screen no longer works. According to them we have to buy a whole other unit.
