Tip of the Day 22 - BFB 3D Touch, CubeX, RapMan & CubePro

@ChoreBoy - it sounds like your printer never reaches the chamber temp that the software wants it to. The build won't start if that doesn't happen. Try to lower the chamber temp and see if it gets there.

I can only see settings for Extruder temperature in the CubePro profile. I see I can add additional temperature controllers and Heated Build Platform is a choice, but #1 the CubePro has a heated chamber, not a heated build platform and #2 even if that choice would work interchangably, I have no idea what the settings should be.

Any tips on how I adjust the chamber temp in Simplify3D?

Thank you

choreboy:

The chamber temperature isn't controlled with a temperature controller. It is set in the script tab. (I think it is M106 S60)

Your best bet is to download the ex1 and ex2 profiles posted earlier on this thread. (extruder 1 and extruder 2)

The dual profile isn't perfected yet, but loffler i think has conquered it--perhaps he will post an updated configuration.
I've not posted in a while because our cubepro has had NO END of problems... Some bad PLA (it was a real cube-pro cartridge) has caused horrendous clogs and cleaning those clogs has been difficult and the painful(killed 3 different boards). Cubify support has helped us out and been very good about sending new boards out, but we keep discovering new problems. This has not been a painless process. We are just getting back up and running, but we just discovered the problem with the third board (the USB board).

If you just modify your existing profile, make sure the number after M106 S__ is 60 or below. The heater is not capable of warming the chamber above this..

Hope this helps!

Are you sure M106 is the correct parameter for chamber temp? In some other forum posts it looks like they're indicating M404 is the command for chamber temp.

[MichaelHerron]

You are correct.. its M404.. (I was going from memory--which doesn't apparently work so well--before, sorry)

You could connect it and control it with a placeholder from the temperature controller, but it doesn't seem worthwhile, since you'd probably never want it below 40, and you can't really get it higher than that. (Has anyone got it higher?)

That is why I hard-coded it into the profile and didn't use a placeholder.

err--- memory fading fast! 60degrees takes a very long time to hit. 40 is what i meant...

Hello everyone,

As many CubePro owners, we're eager to have a more efficient tool to generate printing files than the one provided by Cubify.
Hand-made supports is a good way to learn the principles, but you can't have it in your day to day work!

I'd like to make a quick compatibility check with our CubePro Duo (firmware 1.1 v2) to justify the licence buying.
Would anyone be willing to share a file generated by simplify + CodeX64 (in white ABS ideally)?

Thanks!

[JoeJ]

Yes, it works with the 1.1 V2 (several previous posters used this exact setup). Just be sure to download the latest profiles in this thread.

I just printed the attached file today. You can decode it with CodeX64.

Thanks, but I can't see the attachment !

(as the original post of qwya?!?)

Hello everyone,

Sorry to barge in again, but has anyone a *.cubepro file to share?
Qwya seems to, but his post disappeared!

Thanks in advance!
