At school, we just got a new CubeX 3D-Printer; but have been having more problems with it than any of the others. The most major problem, is almost between every layer the extruder goes and dumps a marble sized ball into the JetWiper. Thanks in advance for any help.

Firmware Version: 1.07

What software are you using? Cubex? Kisslicer?

Hello Westpr...
Many user switch using Kisslicer. Most prints will turn out better and it's easier to get around filament issues.
See post "Where can I find all settings to print with kisslicer?" for files and info.

Also see the link at the top of the user group to the CubeX blog, which has a lot of info for cubeX users.

I am using the CubeX software, but am going to switch to Kisslicer as soon as their forums site comes back online.

The forums at kisslicer.com are not expected to be back up any time soon.  They were over run with spam.

Are you printing in multiple colors or multiple materials?  Every time the cubex changes print jets, it goes to the waste bin, warms up the needed jet, and purges that jet before returning to the print.

On this forum go back and switch forums to Kisslicer refugee camp and stroll down to BY ME JAN 27
There you will find the lateset Cubex file and PDF file so you can start running your cubex with regular filament.
Just follow the settings on the PDF instructions.

No, we just have the standard CubeX Printer with one extruder.
