It's a pretty tricky hack. in the cube 1,2 and 3 (this one too most likely) they put a chip in each cartridge that keeps track of how much filament you've extruded and will disable the cartridge from being used once the filament is used up. There was a way to trick the cube 2 into not keeping track of filament use but it may or may not have been patched in the cube 3 (and this printer)
