Models: Mk2.5, Mk3s, Mk3.5
Prusa Connect: Available on our Prusa Mk3 and Mk3.5 printers.
Book your usage on Fabman. Other members need to know.
Always read this page before you use it. We will post the latest changes and updates.
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.
Report any issues: We can't fix it if we don't know it's broken.

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

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.
Both Cube Pro printers use a controller and OctoPrint Server built in.
Build Volume: 295x280x215
Vanadium Nozzles - Compatible with abrasive filaments such as Carbon Fiber, Nylon X, and Nylon G.
Always Home the printer before Loading Filament.
Cut a wedge at the end of the filament and insert it into the filament tube until it comes out at the other end. Then insert the end into the extruder.

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.
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.
