Moreover, and unfortunately for Roberto, I found a hack on Hack-A-Day that bypasses the Cube’s cartridge system for free. Though I appreciate the sentiment of anyone trying to stick it to The Man I don’t know how much 3D Systems would appreciate it. I’m assuming that because “ Using this device they will save at least USD 2,30 per printing hour, nice !!!”, the mechanism is meant to pay for itself. The whole thing costs a small chunk of change, ranging from $239 to $956, depending on the Cube model you’re using. Any comments from the gallery would be appreciated. I’m not super tech savvy, so I can’t tell how the device itself works, but I’m a bit worried that the box doesn’t do anything at all.

It looks as though he’s taken the 1-wire chip from the original Cube cartridge and inserted it into a device that plugs into the printer, telling the printer’s software that a cartridge is in use.
Until then, we’ll have to decipher the photos he sent us. I’ve emailed Roberto for more information about how the device works. As Roberto tells us, “ The original cartridges costs more than USD 150,00 per Kg, and you can buy on the net reels of filaments with price as low as USD 13,00 per Kg. Cube 3D Free is supposedly a method for bypassing these cartridges to supply your own filament. After having been enslaved to exorbitantly priced inkjet cartridges for 2D printers for so long, I would assume that consumers are outraged at the Cube using the same model. The thing that irks me about Cube 3D Printers is their reliance on filament cartridges.

The idea seemed plausible, but with no real detailed descriptions or instructions, only a series of pictures with flagrant red arrows, it’s hard to know what to make of Cube 3D Free. When I visited the Brazilian website, my suspicion didn’t go away. It promised a way to save money using Cube 3D and Cube X desktop 3D printers. We received a somewhat suspicious email the other day.
