Cubex Duo Won't Read Gcode

Hi,
I have been trying to print files with my cubex duo. I am using the FFF code from here:
http://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.p ... ubex#p1050
My machine won't read ".gcode" even if I rename the gcode to ".cubex" like the factory software outputs. Also, I can't get the factory creator software to open my gcode from simplify3d. Do I need to "jailbreak" the firmware on my cubex?

Re: Cubex Duo Won't Read Gcode

Hello,
I am trying it on a trio too. The gcode output file from Simplify3D, still needs some tweaking. I am trying to figure things out, comparing it to the gcode from the cubeX software.
Here is a way to read the gcode from the CubeX. The .cubeX file is encoded so it cannot be read, but:
The CubeX 1.07 software (not current 1.08 version) creates by accident an unencrypted .bfb file (readable in notepad) in the same folder it puts the CubeX build file. So you can look at the CubeX code file and compare.

Here is a link to download the CubeX 1.07 software. (anybody can install it since it does not have software key)

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1EQlD5 ... dmVWs/edit

Note: If you get a message "you do not have privileges to install etc....." during the install, try the install again by right clicking on the setup.exe file and select "Run as administrator".

I am looking forward to do some prints with the Simplify3D software, that should be great. I like a the tweaking options and the support features.
So hopefully we can figure it out soon.

Re: Cubex Duo Won't Read Gcode

Hello Rbien,
You could leave the code ready for printing in Cubex Trio? Can you give some feedback of your experiences with this activity last?

I'm trying to use CubeIt to make the gcode output file compatible with Cubex, and it returns the error: "Can not Find Info Extruder in Print File.
(Kisslicer Comments must be turned ON!) ".

Thanks in Advance

Re: Cubex Duo Won't Read Gcode

I have been successful at getting something to print but the print isn't near as good as it was with the cubex software. The key here is that the file needs to have the bfb extension, the cubex will read both bfb and cubex extensions.

I would love to get my hands on a profile that works better than what I've seen so far.
