Despite its size, it can print relatively large objects.

This is because it has an active print platform that moves up and down as well as backward and forward.

The printer employs a dual-extruder system that uses 3D Systems' proprietary filament cartridges, which fit perfectly on the printer. Here's the black cartridge on one side...

...and the green cartridge on the other. The printer can draw from both cartridges in creating one print job.

The printer has a small touchscreen that works very well. You can use this screen to activate all functions of the printer, including printing as well as self-calibration.

The printer support network printing via Wi-Fi and also has a USB port to print directly from a thumbdrive.

The printer works very well, epecially when printing small objects. It can produce objects with fine detail.

Unfortunately, large objects can randomly fail halfway through the printing process.

In all, the Cube 3 is a great printer at its current cost of $999 (which converts to approximately £655 or AU$1,285), especially for those wanting to print smaller objects.
