CubeX Duo

Hey guys, I have a couple of printers we have been successfully using S3D for and love it. We also were (Un?)fortunately able to acquire a CubeX Duo and would REALLY like to be able to use S3D with it on a regular basis. Right now, I can get S3D to slice one of our regular models. After a LOT of manual editing, can get a file that works with the CubeX printers. The big bummer is the extra editing and even after all that, all the retract operations don't work and leaves tons of strings everywhere. What I would like to know are a few things (summarized below). The Cube series of printers don't use any E commands, therefore disabling the 5D option gets rid of most issues for printing... Except retract and prime operations. S3D always uses an E command for retract and prime regardless of any options I have selected- leading to most of the manual editing required. The other problems are relatively easy to solve with some post processing. The Cube requires material specification code and a .bfb filename. These can be achieved with a couple of minor tweaks.

My overall questions from above:
1) What the heck is even getting changed by selecting CubeX as my firmware option? It didn't seem to do anything other than change my comment indicator from ; to #.
2) Is there ANY plan to REALLY support the Cube style printers? If so, I don't really want to waste my time with writing some custom program etc. to accomplish post processing.
3) Assuming the answer to 2 is a resounding NO, then is there anything like a tutorial to explain how to use the additional post processing capabilities in S3D (in the scripts tab)? Think CubeItMod plugin for KISSlicer.
4) Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction for preventing (or replacing) the E commands for Retract/ Prime operations?
