However, it packs a couple of interesting features that try to make amends for poor printing.įor instance, the printer comes with two extruders that enable you to print different materials concurrently. It’s a far cry from what you get in higher-end alternatives and produces models that are a long way from perfect. I wasn’t impressed by the printing I got from the Cube 3.
It only supports PLA and ABS as filament materials and strictly uses proprietary filament Smart Cartridges from 3D systems. The Cube 3 is able to print models that can measure up to 6*6*6 inches it comes with dual extruders that can print in different colors. This particular mechanism limits the amount of space required, which enables the printer to remain compact yet still maintain a large print platform. This implies that the extruder nozzle only needs to move sideways, which is not the case of most printer models. The Cube 3 uses an active print platform which moves back and forth, up and down as the process is going on. This printer has a very little surface, with the front and back faces being open, and this allows you to view the ongoing printing work easily. This ensures that the printer has an almost perfect cubic shape.
Unlike most designs where the filament holders tend to protrude from the printer, the Cube 3 maintains a flush and smooth surface after all components have been installed. This is the shape the printer assumes when the two filament cartridges have already been loaded inside the recessed cartridge holders on the right and left sides. Just like its name suggests, the Cube 3D printer resembles a cube and has a compact build with dimensions of 33.5 by 34.3 by 24.1cm.
