Cube Pro Bondtech

Our Cube Pro / Bondtech BMG-M / Slice Mosquito Magnum Retrofit

We weren't sure we could pull this off so we didn't have step by step documentation of the build process. This page will be updated soon with all the 3D models, wiring instructions and Marlin 2.1 configuration so that you can perform the mod yourself.

Gantry Modifications

First Attempt
Third Attempt

First Attempt: Original gantry. This solution was less than ideal since Bondtech Extruder doesn't fit between the original linear bearing blocks. We designed a spacer to go between the extruder and hot end.

Third Attempt: LM12UU bearings are mounted on half bearing blocks and secured with zip ties. One LM12UU in front and two at the back. The more compact design allows for a more powerful blower and a closer fitment for the BL Touch bed leveling sensor. This design also increased the total build space to 295mm x 280mm x 215mm from the stock 285mm x 270mm x 230mm. The slight loss of z height was caused by dropping the head between the rails.

Cube Pro

These printers have been extensively modified in-house. Only the enclosure, slides, motors, chamber heater and power supply carried over from the original 3D Systems Cube Pro.

Drying Filaments

Dry filament is vital for successful 3D prints. We have a dehydrator in our 3D printing room for this purpose.

circle-info

Please do not discard the resealable bags that come with your filament. If you are not using a dry box, put your spools back in the bag when you are done printing.

Filament Printers

  • Bring your filament: The "unobtainium" filaments are free to use. Give, and you shall receive.

  • Stick around for the first few layers: First-layer adhesion is critical to printing success.

  • Unload when done: Remove your prints and unload the filament. For overnight prints, please leave a note on Slack with instructions.

Resin Printers

  • Bring your resin: The "unobtainium" resins are free to use. Give, and you shall receive.

  • PPE needed: Resin is toxic. Wear gloves. Tools should not be brought out of the room.

  • Clean Up: Wipe all spills.
