Bye Bye Cubify, 3D Systems Discontinues Consumer Division
4
In January of 2012 at CES, 3D Systems made the big announcement that they were entering into the direct consumer market with the Cube line of 3D printers. Now, nearly 4 years later, the experiment is over. 3DS has announced the end of Cube and Cubify.
First off, if you are an owner of a Cube or Cube Pro machine, don’t panic. This isn’t the end for your machine. While the consumer-focused Cube 3 will be discontinued, 3D systems will continue to sell the higher end Cube-Pro, as well as materials and supplies for both machines, via their 3DSystems.com site.
Beyond being a portal for Cube owners to manage their print libraries, order supplies, and find downloads for their machines, Cubify.com also served as a model repository and retail print portal for 3D Systems. While machine support will be moved to 3DSystems.com, all retail and model libraries will be shut down as of January 31st 2016.
Through the years, there have been 3 editions of the Cube, and while many will bemoan 3D Systems for their usage of proprietary software and adding ID chips to their filament (locking buyers into their supply chain), they also pushed a lot of innovative features to consumer-friendly machines. The Cube was one of the first printers with built in WiFi printing, a feature that may sound frivolous, but becomes very easy to get used to and miss from other 3D printers. 3D Systems took a serious look at safety with the Cube printers, adding features like magnetically-attached tempered glass build plates so prints could be removed away from the hot end, and nozzles surrounded by silicone buffers to prevent accidental touching by stray fingers.
The Cube 3 brought a feature that I found extremely progressive, with nozzles integrated into their filament cartridges.
Most critics concentrated on the “evil” nature of chipped cartridges, and missed this handy add-on. If a nozzle became jammed (a less likely occurrence in a sealed cartridge), the whole thing could be quickly, and without use of tools, swapped out for a new cartridge with a new un-jammed nozzle. This could be a huge advantage for a teacher trying to print an object for a room full of anxious youngsters (or even a demo for impatient Makers).
While most Makers won’t be mourning the loss of this entry in the market, I worry about the other projects from 3D Systems that we know were coming down the pipeline. The Chefjet and Cocojet alone would be sad losses if never shown the light of day.

No Really, It's The End Of The Line For Cubify « Fabbaloo

3D Systems’ CubePro 3D printer [Source: 3D Systems]
Cubify is really and truly shutting down at the end of the month.
Wait a second — Cubify? Wasn’t that line of desktop consumer-style 3D printers shut down by 3D Systems many years ago?
Yes, indeed. In December 2015, 3D Systems abruptly shut down their entire consumer 3D printing division, including hardware, software, 3D models, and services. The few remaining machines were sold off at that time.
Much time has now passed since that dramatic event, but during that period Cubify hasn’t exactly disappeared.
3D Systems continued to supply materials for the CubePro devices, which used proprietary cartridges. Without a hack, the only way these devices could be used would be to obtain stock of such cartridges.
As large numbers of CubePros were sold to schools, there was a small ongoing market for cartridges. Thus 3D Systems continued to sell them both from an online store and from their Amazon page.
However, today I stumbled on their online store page (please don’t ask why), and saw this ominous notice:
“The storefront on 3dsystems.com closed on September 13th, 2019. If you have a warranty claim or a question about an open order please visit our support site and open a ticket.
A limited quantity of CubePro material cartridges will be available for purchase on our Amazon store until November 1st, 2019.”
Aha! It seems that 3D Systems is finally and officially closing sales of CubePro materials at the end of this month, after four years of extended service.
Their Amazon page shows some 14 different cartridge types for sale, although “quantities are limited”. These are priced at US$99 each, for cartridges containing around 600g of filament material. With proprietary material costing in excess of US$150/kg, it’s not surprising the CubePro systems were not particularly successful, as many competitors offered equipment with far lower material costs.
It seems, however, that 3D Systems will leave one small bit of support left: the ability to download manuals and a method of activating machines, which was a step required before you could operate these 3D printers.
For those somehow still using the now-ancient CubePro systems, it’s long past time to move on to other equipment.
While 3D Systems no longer offers this style of desktop equipment, the good news is that there are plenty of incredibly powerful desktop 3D printers now available at very low cost that can easily match or beat the performance of the defunct CubePro.

Twitter Kerry Stevenson, aka "General Fabb" has written over 8,000 stories on 3D printing at Fabbaloo since he launched the venture in 2007, with an intention to promote and grow the incredible technology of 3D printing across the world.
So far, it seems to be working!
