[vc_row css= ».vc_custom_1536345100090{padding-top: 40px !important;} »][vc_column width= »2\/3″][vc_column_text]The Cube Pro is a well-known printer from 3D Systems. It was released in 2014 in 3 different versions from 1 to 3 extruders. This printer is not produced anymore, but it\u2019s very common to come across a deal. Some stores still have it, or professional users are selling them.<\/p>\n
4 years after its release, the Cube Pro is in a gray zone. Looking at Amazon review, you\u2019ll find that 47% rated 5 stars, and 53% rated 1 star. For some reasons, it seems like quite a few machines have trouble working properly.<\/p>\n
We knew this printer had excellent mechanical design and we were interested in buying one. We found a pretty good deal on a non-working unit and decided to buy it. The unit in question had one extruder removed due to malfunction. The other extruder was still in the printer, but not working anymore.<\/p>\n
This series of blogs show how we converted this non-working Cube Pro into an amazing printer; with open source firmware, high-end components, able to print any materials, and for a fraction of the price of the original printer![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width= »1\/3″][vc_single_image image= »14722″ img_size= »large » onclick= »link_image »][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css= ».vc_custom_1536344504780{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;} »]
