The Cube 3 and CubePro are the same motherboard. For that reason, very few items the their respective build files have to be edited in the .cubepro file to make it work for the Cube 3.

Open Cubepro, import a .stl file
Set color, etc
Build it
Open saved *.cubepro file in a Hex editor, strip header xml info, save file
Cubex decode the file as CubePro
open & Edit the .bfb in a Hex editor; change printer from "CUBEPRO" to "CUBE3"
Strip any binary garbage at the end of the file, save it
Boom, you got yourself a G-Code file
Encode with Cubex
Change file ext to cube3
Put it on a flash drive, plug it into your Cube 3 printer it will print

Setup Kissclicer profile to fit the Cube 3, ie build area, extruders, etc
import a .slt file. follow the above steps to edit and encode the file for the Cube 3.
You'll have to tweak the parameters, G-Code, Material Type etc. to get everything right. But, works just like the CubePro Info.

Read this entire forum sub for more info...Have FUN!

When I open the bfb file with a hex editor I don't see any place to change the printer. How would I find this option in the bfb file?
I am using the HEX-Editor plugin on notepad++
