I was recently sent a cartridge that fits the 2nd Gen Cube. It came from a company called MakeShaper in North Carolina.
I agreed to test a cartridge and those test have been completed.
Here is the result:

The first thing i noticed was that the moisture protection bag in which it is contained was much heftier than I am used to seeing. I have had absolutely no problems with the cartridge. Where it differs from the OEM version is that (1) it is held together with screws (T-10 Star) making it very easy to open and (2) it contains a pack of moisture protection tucked inside the cartridge. Nice!
The cartridges for the 2nd Gen Cube are just $25. And, those for the CubePro are just $65. I have not tested the CubePro version. But, at that price is sure looks like it's worth exploring.
The available colors in either PLA or ABS are:
- Red
- Blue
- Green
- Black
- White
