Davinci Pro 3-1 - Fixing things

[@ernestlane]

I got this printer as a gift and have not printed with it yet. The problems that you encountered are not encountered with my unit. I like the explanations that you provided. I will continue my learning process and expect to be printing soon.

[@Skrep19]

Once you set it up the first time (may not need to level bed), you can just plug in and print, simple. The biggest issue I have had is keeping the part on the bed and my solution: Hairspray! I use the tape on the bed that they provided and then squirt the area the part will be printed with a little hairspray to help it stick. Usually the second and 3rd thing I print don't have this issue, which makes me think that possibly the temp is not measured, but assumed based on heating time??

Just picked up this model amazingly at Goodwill for only $50 because they probably didn't know what it was. Has some filament still in the cartridge so will run the test print to see if it needs repair since it was at Goodwill but when I plugged it in to test it checked the level and was good. Am hoping it can increase bed size to around 10 or 11 inches for the X and Y since Z is pretty much fixed being enclosed. Very clean looking so hoping it works it would be an awesome self Christmas present this year.

I have 4 Years with my Davinci and just now the coupling on the extruder side burst. Thx a lot for this Video. I am definitely making this Mod for easier access.

[@meictec]

If you add a cooling fan, the print results are even better

[@mandydavis3737]

Great video and fix ideas. I just bought one of these printers 2nd hand (im in australia), and the PETG tube banging on the lid is annoying. Im going to do these mods - just one question (if you can remember), what size was the cable chain you used? the link beliw no longer opens (unless its because I am here in Australia), but I can get them from Amazon here in Australia - but there are many sizes........ thank you

[@dami4335]

Seeing the first benchy my eyes started bleeding :D Good job Pieter!

[@kylemiller8450]

Can you update the link to purchase the cable carrier on Amazon? Thanks!

[@uraham2]

can you share the description and thread size for the new tube connection. Is it metric and standard inch. or share a part number and where did you acquire it from.?? Looks like a nice modification.

[@kittyvisser5672]

Hello what are the settings for a smoot print

[@dhepag]

great vid! i couldn't find the size of the screws/bolts; pls provide sizes. thanks.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Which bolts do you mean? the ones i used to attach the printed part for the ptfe coupler? Those are M3*10mm. they may be a little longer too, there is nothing directly in the way, so 15mm's should be fine too

[@dhepag]

@@pietershomeprojects4537 yep, that's it. thank you!

What's the brand of white PLA used? It looks great!

Colido

I could not find that file on thingyverse. the link was not up to date

[@ichbinmartin7033]

May I ask how it resets the cartridge stats and filament? If you reset Ted and don't buy it.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Take your time to do this.... Use a cart that's actually used up.... And follow this video step by step kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2SUeKJ5hKeAeqs

[@MrSimonwatling]

Hi did you find the part to curve the PTFE also did the part you designed hold up well

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Heyhey, no I didn't got that part.... Wasn't necessary.... And yes it's still running strong, altough it hasn't been used much, die to covid, since this printer is actually used in the school....

[@haraldfranke6275]

Nice fixes do you have also solution to use open filament instead of the xyz cartridges ?

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Yes, I've found a great tutorial on that, I'll post the link tonight

[@CharlesHolder]

I’ve used the DaVinci 1.0 Pro for a few years without too much issue. Your video is leading me to a few upgrades but of more interest are the tweaks to get Benchy to print so well. What changes did you make to the settings? I’d like to use Cura or similar instead of xyzprinting software for printing and have been a disappointed they’ve not issued a firmware upgrade to make that possible for the 1.0 Pro. Do you know how the system can be reflashed to allow cura or another better software?

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

There are options to flash the firmware but then there is as far as i know no way back.... I didn't do that cause this printer is school property... I just adjusted the retractions etc in xyz printing....

[@Dirk_Acx_Billiardsphoto]

Hello Pieter. Is it correct that this 3 in 1 printer from XYZ do not have autoleveling for the printbed.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

There is indeed no autoleveling on this printer.... There is a function that helps with the levelling but I never managed to get it working 😓

[@Dirk_Acx_Billiardsphoto]

@@pietershomeprojects4537 how often do you have to calibrate? Every 20 prints or?

[@thcrw7391]

Good looking mods, but really not the best thing for someone that uses the laser module regularly as well.

[@johnstratairious7936]

i WAS having the same problem but what i did was.....i removed that piece of crap useless plastic case and tossed it in the trash. THEM all i did was....I used a piece of brass tubing and ran it through a rubber gromet that came with the machine. but FIRST i placed the rubber gromet into the hole where the filament slides through and super glued it into place it wont move ...trust me. then i slid the brass tubing through the rubber gromet all the way down to the aluminum guide tube. NOW every single time i change filament it the filament is guide ALLLLLLLL the way through without missing a beat. the problem i was having was....i would feed my filament into the guide tube and it would POP out through the SNAP casing for the print head and MISS feeding itself into the extruder. NOW...it works PERFECT. PLUS nothing moves. on the other end of the brass tube i attached that pfe snap fit tube and then the other guide tube into the pfe snap fit small tube. i know it may sound confusing....but a small brass tube works wonders to feed the filament perfectly through to the extruder head so the filament never misses where it is suppose to go. THANK you for the video...your way works great to. but as the old saying goes....THERES more than one way to skin a cat. take care. john from kansas.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Thanks man, i appreciate it I didn't wanted to replace to much, since it is a school printer.... I recently changed out the nozzle... Non OEM.... Still going strong now! Kids love it

[@ghan725]

Hi Pieters, could you tell why my 3d printer's touch panel is not on?

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

What printer are you using? There are a lot of reasons why it wouldn't turn on

[@ghan725]

@@pietershomeprojects4537 Hi, it's super 1.0. Pieters, now, I can turn it on. But each time when it's in the half of printing, it always move the printed part. Could you tell how do I posibble solve this?

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

@@ghan725 you mean with move the printed part, it doesn't stick to the printbed?

[@ghan725]

@@pietershomeprojects4537 Yes, it doesn't stick to the bed and not at the beginning.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

There are a lot of different reasons that could be the issue... Night of the nozzle to high, teperature of the bed... Temperature of the room, what laterial are you using, what adhesive,.... Can you send me a video of a starting print? [e-mail]

[@8bitwidgets]

is there any info on how to change the tip? it seems like the tip is fused directly into the brass cylinder it comes from but hoping that's not true.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Unfortunately it does... Meanwhile I've replaced it with an E3D V6 nozzle

[@8bitwidgets]

@@pietershomeprojects4537 bah.. why would they do that?! anywho.. i'm pretty sure either from clog or damage.. it's bad. the filament comes out and basically curls into itself making a wad of filament instead of pouring out like an ice cream machine..

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

@@8bitwidgets indeed, there are so many better ways to design the nozzle. Had to replace it cause themperature sensor was broken... And if you want to swap it out with an original one it's pretty expensive...

@@pietershomeprojects4537 I'm going to give mine a good cleaning this weekend. i have some microscopes and jeweler glasses to inspect it. really hoping its just an ugly clog and not damaged metal..

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

For clogging I always raise temperature and then manually push the filament through (may take some force)

where do you get the screws for the 3d printed part?

also what are they called?

I'll see if i can get a hand in it again.... It's back at the school now... All i did was tweaking retraction settings...

And anything else I can ask how to get the ip address of your printer?
