You can print either 200 or 70-micron layer thickness, – there are no middle-ground options like 100 microns. The system offers only two-layer resolution options. The Cube 3D printer features two extruders with 0.4mm nozzles that can reach maximum temperatures of up to 536☏ (280☌).

The only flimsy part is the filament spools – they break quickly and you can’t use them again. It feels very strong including the Z-axis frame which is made from a thick metal sheet. The print bed is a thick glass that is covered on top with a white plastic sheet. The base plate is equally solid made of a 3/16-thick aluminum and holds both the electronics and the frame in place inside the case. It’s a sturdy, plastic alloy construction that’s stable and durable. It can sit on a desk without taking up lots of space. The whole unit is relatively compact, measuring 13.2 x 13.5 x 9.5 inches. The other notable thing is that while most 3D printers utilize a separate extruder (or several extruders) that melts the filament into the print head, 3D Systems instead has the extruder nozzle directly built into the filament cartridge, right at the end of the clear plastic tube. There are lights on the inside part too and they illuminate the prints as they are formed allowing you to see them even when working in low-light conditions. However, the front and backside are open, so you get to view the ongoing print work easily. It basically hides most of the key technical aspects of 3D printing away from the user, thereby giving the printer a clean, smooth look. There are zero sharp edges and everything, from the cables to the components is enclosed under a sleek plastic casing. The filaments are placed in two recessed plastic cartridges on the sides and they fit flush with the entire body of the printer. No filament holders are protruding from the unit like many other 3D printers. It’s a unique design that makes it look elegant and futuristic. Just like the name suggests, the Cube 3D printer model exactly resembles a cube.

You can only use 3D System’s filament cartridges and software.Filament spools break quickly and can’t be used again.Large prints’ quality is poor and they fail often.
