I own Avtek CreoCube 3D but producer decided to delete all files and programs for it. This currently makes printer unusable since I can't connect it to any outside program. I tries octoslicer but it didn't detect printer. Does anyone know what to do? Maybe I should tear down printer and mod it so it would be using my own microcontroller instead?

Unfortunately, that may be the only option. If a printer isn't running a FOSS firmware, you've no guarantee that you will be able to keep using it into the future.
