* (2017/06/12) CubePro Trio has been hacked so the counter does not update the EEPROM Chip on the proprietary cartridges. More work has to be done, but we should be able to print using 3rd party filament in the near future.

== Authorization ==

No authorization is required, but you may have to provide your own filament for this machine, which only uses proprietary filament, and costs about $99 per 600 gram spool. Methods to trick the machine into using standard filament, have been attempted (see below.)

Use the Computer to the right of the Cube pro to prepare your files using the Cube pro software, then export the file to a thumbdrive and plug it into the usb port on the left side of the printer itself. Select the file you prepared from the print menu using the touch screen on the front of the printer.

Use the computer to the right of the CubePro (the one called "Artastic" was used in the past, in 2017 there may be a different computer, or download and install the proprietary software yourself) to prepare your files using the Cube pro software, then export the file to a USB thumbdrive and plug it into the USB port on the left side of the printer itself. Select the file you prepared from the print menu using the touch screen on the front of the printer. Open-source slicer (gcode preparation) software that is used for the other 3D printers will not work with this machine.

No Filament Error Present - Material is extruding correctly - This confirms that the print jet is functioning correctly. The error message received during the print is related to settings. If the Z gap is to tight and the plate is not level, the material has nowhere to go and will throw a filament flow error. Please refer to the user guide for setting the Z gap and leveling the print Pad.
