That said, I don't have one of these printers either so I cannot confirm this either.
I think it should still be possible as it is totally hardware, no software at all, the only way that the Cube knows that something is installed is by a sensor in the bracket, if you leave an empty one there and just have a large and cheaper supply next to it, it should work perfectly fine as long as the stepper can pull it in well.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
