Without an heated bed you can only print small parts with ABS because it has high shrinkage rate.
A forum to talk about KISSlicer

Can You suggest a specific heated bed? What do you have?Giovanni V. wrote:Without an heated bed you can only print small parts with ABS because it has high shrinkage rate.
Mine is form "GRM products", it's pretty expensive but it's built for the Cubex, easy to install and works well.mcirri wrote:Can You suggest a specific heated bed? What do you have?Giovanni V. wrote:Without an heated bed you can only print small parts with ABS because it has high shrinkage rate.
Giovanni, if I well remember you wrote somewhere that you have higher voltage to your feeder motor. Am I right? How can you do that?Giovanni V. wrote:Mine is form "GRM products", it's pretty expensive but it's built for the Cubex, easy to install and works well.mcirri wrote:Can You suggest a specific heated bed?

If you have time and have the knowledge you can install a Reprap or similar heated bed.
This is about the voltage :mcirri wrote: Giovanni, if I well remember you wrote somewhere that you have higher voltage to your feeder motor. Am I right? How can you do that?
I am thinking to get the z-level sensor from http://www.cubexupgrade.com/produit/z-stopper/. Does it work as intended? How can you use third party wires? Like the colorfabb?
Thanks for all the info. When you print with the second nozzle or the two nozzles is it sufficient for the solid to be withing the print volume in kisslice for it to print properly? What is the 2nd nozzle offset in the kisslice settings for? mine is set to 0. Is this right?Giovanni V. wrote:This is about the voltage :mcirri wrote: Giovanni, if I well remember you wrote somewhere that you have higher voltage to your feeder motor. Am I right?

The z-stopper is a very good product.
To use third party filament just feed the Cubex with it. With Kisslicer + Cubeitmod you dont need to have cardridges inserted to print.
As the Cubex has an extruder with fixed pitch you just have to pay attention to the diameter of the filament, 1.75 +/- 0.05 is good , if you increase the voltage you can also go with 1.75 +/- 0.1.
When you change the filament you also must find the good parameters ( temperarure, m227, m228,...).
To print with the second extruder you can use "Ext Map" tab to assign Ext1 or Ext2 to particular paths or if you have an object with multiple meshes you can use the "Extruder Mapping" window to assign an extruder to a mesh.mcirri wrote: When you print with the second nozzle or the two nozzles is it sufficient for the solid to be withing the print volume in kisslice for it to print properly?

You better set the offset from the Cubex control panel as described into Cubex manual ans leave KS offset 0.
