I have installed the Cubeitmod with ini files, I even downloaded them a few times, saved to different folders, then tried it, with KISSlicer in the correct folder of course.I just tried a KISSlicer file using a cartridge of cubex gray PLA (1.7mm), and I printed 5 test blocks successfully. Then switched back to Matterhacker 1.75mm blue PLA, changed the diameter size in Kisslicer to 1.75 (that's the actual average of the Matterhacker filament) and tried the same test block. It failed just after starting layer 4 (the blue part in the middle). I cleared the build surface and started the same print file, no changes, and it completed just fine. Then I printed the blue square on the left, and it printed ok.Hugues, I read your site. I had tried the same procedure before, from here on the forum. I went thru it, but when I change solid% or Infill%, I don't get much of a change if at all. I increased the Flow Tweak from 1 all the way to 1.6, that's what the parts ran at shown in the pic. At lower flow tweak values, the loops and the infill were skipping and thin. Even so, the infill shown is still not adequate, it stringy and completely attached.I could live with the crappy infill if I could get it to not fail.I was running Proto Paradigm filament and its average dia. was 1.8. At first I was able to make a few parts but then it started failing every time.It seems that my CubeX does not like filament larger than 1.75.
I had a hot end go bad on me after about 2 years of service.
Known good filament would not melt well or feed well.
The filament would jet at an angle and would block often.
Despite cleaning with a wire or the supplied drill bit, it would not work well.
I retired the hot end and used another one with less wear and it solved the problem.
How old is the hot end? Is it jamming frequently? Lots of clicking when it feeds?
All of this is showing me that per the same layer height, KISSlicer outputs way less filament than CubeX and seems to cause filament flow failures. I have tried changing many different settings in Kisslicer, but have no good results. I can print the same part with CubeX and Kisslicer one right after the other, the CubeX parts is great and the KISSlicer parts either fails or is not useable at all.Sorry for ranting, but I have spent a LOT of time on this and its very frustrating. Anybody ever experience this and find a solution!!??
I was trying to work thru the thin-wall-solid-cube-calibration when I was having all the failures. It would only print a few layers then fail, so I couldn't perform calibration. I was using jet #1, so I started switching components with jet #2 to see if there was a problem with the cubex. I narrowed it down to the mother board as the faulty part. The extruder driver board was ok and worked on the #2 jet.
Giovanni, I read that about the voltage a few months ago, so I changed the voltage on jet #1 to 1.5V. It did seem to help and I printed a few small parts with it, but could it have caused the mother board failure? Jet #2 still has the voltage at 1.1 and it still works, so I started to try the testing on that jet. That's what was used to print the test blocks shown above. I'm waiting on a mother board and new hot ends (stock ones). Maybe I need to try better hotends, where do I buy them?
I have tried both the latest CubeItMod.exe and CubeItMod491.exe
