The Cube will cost about 2x as much to print with as any of the competitors who don’t mark up the supplies cost this high. The photos Cube includes of completed 3D print jobs are also misleading, as the fine print tells you they come from a much more expensive, higher-end product they sell. This is just a stepping stone model they hope people will find inadequate when they start using it a while, and will spend the money to upgrade to one of their more costly “pro” models.
