Ordering 5000 of anything from a 3D printer service is going to cost a lot more than soft tooling. And it's all closed off so you can't change things. Judging by that video the Cubify firmware looks quite poor at the moment, very slow, it was going back and forth printing a small section on each side of that object, not much of an intelligent path going on there, it looks more like a very slow Inkjet printer, that's just going to waste time and produce less than quality results. I would like to see both 3DS and Botmill continue down a open-source route of some description, but I'm waiting to see if Botmill drop all the Mendel style printers in favour of a closed source design, if that happens, and it looks very likely from all the issues they still seem to have, then they have no business being on this forum at all. They do seem to like advertising on this forum, I'm getting sick of seeing constant Botmill threads popping up in General. "The products you are asking for are in the works and we certainly wont be selling the Mendel for ever." - 3DSBotmill
I do wonder if Botmill will start to sell the Cubify or a more grown up version of it? 3DS did make a few comments about having new printers for Botmill to be selling in this thread, but again they side-stepped the question about open-source and community support, so the answer is looking more like a NO then. And it will always be better than any one company can put on a store shelf.) In my mind RepRap will always be the best 3D tech we peasants will ever get. It's really going to suck when 3D printing looks like crap because people are going to hate this Cube. Other reprap builders are content at their level and have no drive to improve the machine or their parts. AND THAT"S OKAY! We love to compete with each other! It's just good fun. I'm sure there are dozens of printers making better parts and machines than the original reprap dev team. Those that are out there are never going to be as good as the kits they sell or the complete Replicator. No one is going to make a Makerbot on their own. Cube interview video that stated "This reminds me of Microsoft vs Linux." I was floored that Makerbot would be considered the "linux" in any situation. I imagine it will always be this way with those that choose to build their own stuff verses those that would rather buy something for the novelty. It's sad to see 3D system offer a below average machine just to get their foot in the desktop printer world. Those that think they are on the cutting edge but will most likely have this machine collecting dust in the back of the closet within a year. So, in my opinion this machine is selling itself to the uninformed wannabe tech-moms and dads. I'm sure this is where they make the most profit. No statement on how much that really is though. Will it be locked or encrypted? Why would they leave it open for thingiverse files to be printed on it? This is normal but again for this price an integrated interface should have been included. >PC Required for Builds - To create print file This is disappointing for a "high end" machine.
Press 1 if it works press 2 if it doesn't" #2! "Turn it off." Maybe one piece?Īgain, not tomated phone directory? "Turn it off, turn it back on. Using main feed rate as a standard, slow is 30mm/sec or less (Makerbot, Mendel), average is about 60 (Prusa), fast is 250 (Ultimaker, I see you over there.) Seems really archaic to use this term instead of mm.Ĭome on, use mm per second like the rest of the world. >Print Size - 5.5” x 5.5” x 5.5” (140 x 140 x 140 mm)Īnd they claim to make shoes on this thing?Īm I crazy or does this say 5 millimeter layers? If not it means 125 microns= 0.125 mm. >The Cube - the first 3D Printer designed for your home!įalse right off the bat! Seems like every 3d printer states this. ( ) Maybe this falls under the RANT category. I just wanted to address some of the items on the specs page of the Cube. it was nice seeing Bre on the ropes though.Īfter seeing the most recent blog post on the blog ( )
