content: Saved from the skip, looks like the heating element has failed (or the inline thermal fuse strapped to the extruder...)http://uk.farnell.com/3d-systems/381000/cube-3d-printer-2g-silver-uk-plug/dp/2364814I've powered it up, smooth movement in Z, Y and Z. Extruder doesn't heat up and their is some old filament stuck in it. The box contains the printer, PSU, and 2 spools of ABS filament. There is no guide tube from filament spool to extruder, but that doesn't seem like a game-changer. There is also no memory stick, but i guess any old USB stick will work, but it has wifi and a USB host connection anyway.SOLD

content: Well thank you, Ian, I'll think it over. I've three problems with the thing:- Can't use generic filament, need to buy it from 3D Systems (orhackbut the company will likely patch via wifi, goddamn cloud!)- Don't know what heating element is used- The GBP is strong these daysBut it's still a tempting offer. I'll come back to you. If you made it 200 € it'd be a nobrainer.

content: Just think of us in ZA. I just ordered some springs from the UK. 9p for a spring and 100GBP shipping. Can't get them locally so the UK supplier it is. They were also rather surprised at the courier costs, but I need them at least before mid August, not December.

content: As I mentioned, there is ahackthat, depending on software version, enables you touse any filament with the printer. Mind the comments.If that fails, people have used partsfrom a raprap rambo (including a new extruder) with the CUBE 3D.Good luck! If I had the time and money, I had done it.
