The free CubeX is now printing. It’s so damn slow.
Yeah, it’s not a very good machine. Acrylic structure, excessively heavy mechanism, “black box” software, expensive proprietary filament reels and often flakey electronics. I had someone say they easily got better results from a Solidoodle 2.
I’m trying to prove it works so I can sell it.

I don’t know about the Cube X, but a former coworker of mine had a Cube 3D, and you can trick it into using regular spools of filament. Unless there is something vastly different in the mechanism/software that reads the spools, it probably works on this one too. Here’s the info: http://www.howmuchsnow.com/cube/
I think here is a filament adapter for CubeX too.
The other thing you can do is strip their controller off and throw a ramps on. It can only get better lol
I fixed mine by changing to a rambo board and customizing my own firmware. It’s still slow but it’s better then stock.
If you want to convert your printer to open source as well you can find my firmware on my stores blog.
