My machine: CubePro Duo, firmware 1.8A/V2
So I've spent the last couple days running down this and other forums, trying to get up and running first with KISSlicer and then with Simplify3D. Here is where I'm at so far:
1. I installed KISSlicer V1.4.5.10 and Cubeitmod V3.7 on my Windows 7 machine (Parallels on a Macbook).
2. I sliced the SAME model in CubePro.exe (then to .bfb thanks to CodeX) and KISSlicer. With KISSlicer I ran WITH the .ini set from https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!top ... -k1hdxZA6I but I removed the language file AND the post-processor.
3. epop's header didn't work for me. I spent a LOT of time trying to get the printer past the "heating" stage that others have been stuck at, where the extruder hangs out above the catch box and doesn't heat up. When I finally grabbed the ENTIRE startup and ending sequence from a CubePro.exe, the printer went through startup and is now printing what looks to be an excellent print.
KISSLicer settings I changed:
Languages->Revert to English
Style->Style Name-> ABS Thickness 0.2
Support->Support:Medium, Inflate Support->1
Material->Material Name->ABS Cubex Thickness 0.2
Printer->Firmware->Post-Process->Delete post processor .exe, Uncheck Include Comments
Printer->Extruder Materials->Extruder 1 Material->ABS Cubex Thickness 0.2, Extruder 2 Material->ABS Cubex Thickness 0.2, Default Object Ext->Ext 1
G-code->Prefix and Postfix deleted
I've attached BOTH the output of CubePro.exe and the file I hand modified to work. You'll see the simple breakpoints indicated by a ^hackpoint comment. I have not yet started to pare this down to see the minimum required to move through the "heating" hang up, but I suspect that it's got something to do with the header... if I use epop's header with the full init sequence, it hangs at that same place.
As there are a lot of users out there who would like this to work, I'm going to suggest that we focus efforts of this thread on understanding the GCode and getting an update in to Hughes for Cubeitmod. I recommend we table or move the cartridge/bulk filament discussion to another thread. Here is what I see as a to-do:
- Identify a "general" header and fields that need to be live updated (if any)
- Identify an init sequence that works dependably
- Identify a postfix sequence that works dependably
- Make a running list of CubePro GCode (suggest Google Docs)
- Anything else?
Let's get this done!
