How to Upgrade Firmware on XYZPrinting Da Vinci

[@djasonterry]

By far the easiest way to do flash your printer. It still work today. I searched for 2 days on how to flash XYZ Da Vinci 1.0a but no body had a way that still worked. Yours worked first try that you so much.

[@SliZionHD]

dude, i have no idea how to work on anything like this, and 7 years later this video still completely walked me through it

[@iamsuperbleeder]

I acquired my Da Vinci 1.0 used, couldn't for the life of me get XYZ's software to communicate with the printer at all. Couldn't get the Arduino software to flash it either for some reason. This process was a life saver. THANK you so much for the detailed instructions sir!

[@quintenscookingshow5645]

Only took (checks watch) 10 hours, 7 of having panic attacks thinking destroyed printer and 3 of working and a total of 4 different tutorials this one the only one that worked

[@spencermiller7261]

You are the man! Very helpful! I purchased this machine to familiarize myself with the 3d printing process (within my budget),and quickly became disappointed by the lack of control in xyz ware. The filament cartridges were another let down, once I got a feel for how much I would be using. You helped me fix the pitfalls of this machine and it is now what it should be. Very easy to follow, very informative, and VERY much appreciated.

[@piercedtiger988]

THANK YOU!! I spent most of my day today trying to get 0.92 on my DaVinci via Arduino (3 different versions) without success. Each time it reset the printer windows popped up an unrecognized device window, the com port disappeared from device manager, and the printer stayed dark with the black bars. I was to the point where I was downloading Atmel in a plan to flash factory firmware (which I don't even need now since you explained how to do that with bossac). Now I'm running 0.91 after the first attempt thanks to you! Wish I'd seen your video hours ago.

[@GregBradley1]

Still works. April 2021. Don't know why I didn't do this sooner. Thanks.

[@ajolivette]

Honestly. You did an amazing job. Thanks for this. I greatly appreciate you.

[@chrisaguirre7946]

Excellent video, tried all the Arduino videos and had no luck but yours worked awesome thank you

[@nickvine3244]

Thanks for this video. Rescued a da vinci 1.0. It wouldn't see any cartridges. It's now a pleasure to use. Repetier is vastly superior to standard software also. Still well worth doing, 2022

[@richfluteman]

Thank you so much Jacob! I successfully flashed by Davinci 1.0 and installed the Firmware. Now the next test is to print something.

[@carouselhan]

thank you verymuch,I spent all night with this old machine and now it looks like new

[@jacobchmura4903]

tbh this is probably the best tutorial video i have ever seen because you show us what to do if it doesn't work. :)

[@othermichigansaturn]

Another great and informative video. Thanks for taking the time to do these.

[@kdanagger6894]

There are newer mainboards that are different and don't have a JP1 erase jumper. If your serial number starts with 3F10A it is one of the new boards. The new boards have jumper pads labeled J37 which is the new erase jumper. If you have one of these boards the earlier binaries will not work. The new board has wiring changes and dramatically different thermistor calibrations. As of this moment, you will need the newest 0.92 alpha firmware source from Github. You will need to edit the configuration.h file and compile the firmware with Arduino yourself. "#define MODEL 1//"0" for first generation (jumper JP1 to reset ) , "1" for new generation (jumper J37 to reset)"

[@johncrichton2383]

Thank you, I may buy a Da Vinci printer because of your upgrade. I'm downloading the files needed for the upgrade. I am watching posts and replies for additional information.

[@jiovannyrestrepo5418]

Successfully completed the flashing!!! Thank you!!! Every step was right on point!!! No issues.

[@SethFolsom]

I really appreciate your video! You are the best Da Vinci KZbinr! This worked out perfectly! As long as you follow the instructions exactly, there is nowhere to go wrong. I also went to your Repetier Software video and made some changes. Thanks! :)

[@MeDanTube]

Great Work Jacob, I just did this successfully on my MAC. A few struggles as you can imagine but got there in the end. I have Itemised the Mac issues/instructions on a word doc for Mac users if any one wants them then reply with your email. Also, to center your extruder the EEPROM Settings are X-34, Y-12 and Z depends on your calibration height but -3 is a good start.

[@JustaGam3]

Would love it if you could send them to me...I've been debating on dong this but figured there would be issues doing this with a mac

[@JustaGam3]

MeDanTube my email is [e-mail]

[@MeDanTube]

Cool sent :) Email me if you have any troubles. Good luck!

[@Andrew-im2kx]

MeDanTube Hey, I'd like that! Email me at [e-mail].

[@joshuamcneill9641]

First time flashing anything and it went perfectly, thanks for posting this video it was very informative.

[@dominickvillano3153]

Thank you very much for the informative video, I am planning on buying a da vinci 1.0 and this has given me confidence that I can mod it. Any problems regarding repetier firmware/host, or is it working good so far? I heard you can also implement a g-code line into Slic3r so it will use the filament scraping tower for the extruder when it starts.

[@zerokewl135]

For the newer version of this printer with the newer board please check out this forum. I just attempted this and worked without a problem so far.

[@hewie2000]

Amazing just done mine easy as thanks for releasing me from the clutches of corporate crap been messing around with the crappy XYZ firmware for days now looking forward to working with this platform

[@glennhenderson9243]

Great vid Jacob, I have a Da Vinci 1.0 on order so will look at up grading the software. Thanks Jacob very helpful.

[@edwardaskins]

The version that amazon is selling for $399 says "3d printer" on the front door and has a slightly different controller card in the back. It has a micro sd card instead of a standard sd card. The stepper controllers are directly on the mainboard rather than on those little raised boards. There isn't an updated version of slicer for the new board yet. If you are buying a Da Vinci to update it, you may want to wait a little bit.

[@dalefletcher2188]

This is not entirely true. I ordered the Da Vinci 1.0 from Amazon and it arrived today. It is version 1.1.G. Apparently some people are getting the 1.0A with new controller and others are getting the older version. I was very pleased to see that I got the older version so that I could easily install repetier. :)

[@gerardobahena]

liked, subscribed, and commented just because you made it soooooo easy.

[@TheMcStoners]

Thank you so much I was skeptical about getting this printer but it was on sale so I got it and now I'm glad that I can flash this onto it thanks again. XD

[@412psekustomzllc7]

Hey bud, I wonder if you could help me? So I'm new to 3D printing and I purchased a Da Vinci 1.0 original printer used. I had followed another video similar to yours and flashed it because I could not get the xyzware software to even acknowledge it. Well when I follow the steps and I get to the folder where the additional files are supposed to be it lists 1.6.9 or 1.8.0 arduino files. So now I'm stuck with a printer that I flashed and have not been able to figure out how to install firmware. Is it possible for you to help?

[@martinbleasel6157]

Many thanks. I would like to echo John Parker's comments below. I also tried newer methods, but I was unable to un-brick my printer using different Arduino versions with Arduino DUE with both linux and windows software. I have not figured yet what I did incorrectly with the previous methods. The software compiled properly and the compiled file was verified as being written correctly to the printer. But on an ubuntu linux box I installed the bossac software and my printer was un-bricked instantly using the method outlined in your video.

[@JakR4bbit]

Good video. Made me much more confident about doing this at some point.

[@specialtedprops3116]

followed it to the letter. worked like a charm. Thanks for the info Jacob.

[@bradleymorgan8223]

Fiberware Armoury when did you buy your machine?

[@specialtedprops3116]

February 25th I believe

[@bradleymorgan8223]

I was worried that they had updated the board again so that you couldnt do this.. i must have seen a different model

[@specialtedprops3116]

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THE BOARD TYPE BEFORE YOU FLASH IT JUST TO BE SAFE.

[@specialtedprops3116]

sorry about the caps lock lol

[@-Gunnarsson-]

Wish he did more printer videos.

[@numberx3x]

Can you do a video on how to use repetier and calibration/ troubleshooting? I would really appreciate that.

[@martinhoisequiel9921]

Hi Jacob, I followed all the steps till the command prompt. It tells me No device found on com23(in my case). It shows correctly on the Device manager though! Help?

[@martinhoisequiel9921]

Never mind it worked out after a few tries ... Thank you

[@dianemurphy452]

hi mate could you tell me can you do same to the aio davinci model ?

[@phreaktor]

will this allow me to continue to use flashed cartridges and my own filament rolls?

[@pendragon8000]

So new ones can't be updated like this? I should have got one for $399 on spec from Amazon.

[@oslervanderberg2317]

After myy printer, da Vinci 1.0A was flashed, I can go down with the Z Axis but not up, what am I doing wrong?

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

Hi Jacob, thanks for the lesson, very clear instructions but like some other viewers although the reboot went well the Z axis still only goes down. Could it be that the printer is broken? I have checked the stepper drivers which all work.Any ideas perhaps? Thanks anyway.

[@devhal5596]

so most of this process went well except I have the 1.0 AiO printer/scanner and I'm having issues with the bed not coming up and no light. I'm not completely upset about the light but I can't print.

[@Alaa_alshahed]

my friend i just saw your video and i liked what you did to get rid of davinci stupid firmware and am thinking to make like what you did but before that i need to confirm three things : 1-will this work with davinci pro printer? 2-what do you think about your move after a year now? 3-in my printer now the bed stuck in top level and i tried all the method to lower it with no luck so my question here is: in repiter firmware is there option to lower the bed?

[@hugoelec]

Great Job!! I've done it too thanks for this tutorial

[@lynlrp]

You are just damn Awesome, man! Even I haven't try this yet, but went though the whole video, especially you said that it is reverse-able. I am going to do it now!

[@lynlrp]

It works!

[@bradleymorgan8223]

Runping Lyn When did you buy that printer?

[@lynlrp]

bradley morgan March 3rd 2015. Mine is runing on 1.1.J now.

[@bradleymorgan8223]

I thought the idea was to put the open source firmware on it?..

[@lynlrp]

bradley morgan Flash it with the XYZ FW or the Repeatier FW or any open source FW, they are all the same idea, use the same method. I flashed it with stock FW, aka downgrade it to the 1.1.J, then I can use the filament resetter. Soon or later, I will flash it with open source FW, when I need to upgrade the hot end to E3D V6.

[@s007-g8b]

When I tried the command prompt sequence, it says "verify failed", "Page Errors: 469", and "Byte Errors: 117830". How would I go about fixing this?

[@TheNewBloodDan]

Can you try to use NinjaFlex with this printer and give us a tutorial on how to get NinjaFlex to print properly?

[@FullSpectrumComputer]

Awsome Job worked perfect! Now to move on to how to use Repetier and the new firmware. You should have another video for that ;) Thanks

[@arthursliter6958]

Please Help! i did this a few months ago but my computer wont communicate to the printer after i factory reset the pc so im trying to redownload this. the computer will not see the printer as a bossac but instead aa arduino due and it will not work

[@iron3742]

hey, i thought i would put it out there that xyz have released a new mother board, that this current firmware doesnt work on and also that you cant turn back and fix it, I highly recommend that no one flash these new motherboards until there is an "stable" update on the firmware

[@fit2fly937]

You're right, do you by chance know if (by now) there's a "stable" version available?

[@essencee234]

how to change filament and reset filament in the da vinci 1.0 after this upgrade? does any filament work after this upgrade?

[@thomaslanoie7960]

Hi. I just got one from Newegg for $399. My board is newer with out any J1 and sd card is near micro processor. Can it still be updated?

[@jaydmatacarita]

Using this method on the Davinci AIO disables the Z axis.

[@mrdanker6756]

My pritner's lights don't turn on, and it doesn't print anymore, just moves around not heating up nor extruding. It is the newer one without reset pins and a micro sd card though so probably just have to wait for a newer firmware version

[@jupterzot]

Thanks Jacob. Great video. Any comments on what you had to get things dialed in after the firmware upgrade?

[@jacobdykstra8499]

Uploading the settings video right now should be up by the time you read this comment.

[@TheMcStoners]

Attention all. Any printer purchased after 6/2014 could potentially be a new model that is not compatible with existing firmwares. These printers use a different mainboard than the older revisions documented on this forum, one which is more similar to what is used in the AIO. There are physical changes in the board of this model, and DaVinci has it on a completely separate firmware track than what is discussed otherwise---- wrote by ogremustcrush on voltivo forums so DONT DO IT IF YOU HAVE THE NEW BOARD SUCH AS 3F10A

[@mrpeter81]

I think im going to update the firmware to RH, but there is alot of people saying that after printing for an hour or so, it will be spagetti with the print? =/ I have a new 1.0A, with the new board, can I update it with this firmware? And can I use the simplify3D that I bought for it?

[@mikesinyourtv]

Is there anyway I can get some 2018 help with a XYZ Printing DaVinci 2.0a reflash? For home use I want freedom! Just need help with the Arduino portion (making sure I have the correct software before I short the j37 pin)

[@kwokyinho7650]

there are a lot of message said xyz is not good, with defect.. but how about new Xyz 1.0 "PRO"?? i plan to buy.. should I????

[@TheAmatureHobbyist]

if you could pm me the command prompt sequence or forum link that would be appreciated

[@mikeras27]

Great Video. Thank you very much. Just one question: could you please show the entire command for flashing the printer?. bossak....

[@shane142]

Just wondering will the hack open up the SD card so you can print from? Just like you can with a lot of the latest printers we can get now?

[@explodingbee]

This worked! Thank you.

[@redlimit835]

I am hesitant to try it as I cannot find the stock firmware to flash it back if I don't like it. I've been trying to search it out with no luck could you possibly add it to your download so we can undo this if we don't like the upgrade.

[@POVgames]

does anyone know how to do this on the JR?

[@johndavismit]

Do you know what firmware you started with? Some davinci's ship with different stock firmware. Was it 1.1j? 1.0.1?

[@jelledebruyn7114]

just done it . thanks for the good info .

[@dennisgauthier7006]

HI MAN I UPGRADED MY FIRMWEAR AND IT ALL WENT ON THERE FINE JUST LIKE IN YOUR VIDEO BUT HOW DO I SET UP ALL THE NEW SOFTWEAR WHEN REPETIER IS ON THERE I TRYED THE SAMPLE PRINT THAT WAS ON THE NEW FIRMWAER AND THE PRINTER WENT NUT AND DID SOME CRAZY SHIT LO

[@gregfishback7241]

This post may be too old to respond to but I figure I'd give it a shot. Everything went well, the BOSSAC command wrote, verified and age CPU reset and returned to the command prompt but the Davinci just sits and the same screen it gets when you erase the firmware. Reboots to no avail. Any ideas? It is an older model and I've flashed it before to downgrade the XYZ firmware once upon a time.

[@CelebrationFireworks]

Hi - Your video looks great and you make it look so easy. Is the process the same for a XYZ Da Vinci a01 scanner/printer? dont care about the scanner part as it is useless anyway. again great video.

[@jpparker19]

I would like to say a HUGE Thank YOU! I have been trying the newer methods listed with no success. I followed your simple steps and like one minute later..Repetier Loaded. On small question. Any suggestions how to get Windows to recognize it again? It does not appear under Comms Port. I do see Ardunio Due listed as a composite USB device.

[@vashtimatthews]

mine says ardunio due too

[@jpparker19]

After moving it to its own USB Port and off the USB hub that my other 3D printer shared, Ardunio Due appeared by itself under comms ports and not alone as a composite USB Device.

[@disc_priest]

Can you do this on Linux without Wine? Both the Arduino IDE and Repetitor are available for Linux. (If it helps I have Ubuntu MATE)

[@Adrian_Astro]

I hope someone sees this, I have a Davinci 1.0a and when I manual control the printer bed, it goes down and gets stuck, as well as the bed not heating. someone help please!

[@squartochi]

Firmware change went well,, THANKS, I am having issues calibrating. Do you have any instructions?

[@glenncampbell2703]

Hey Jacob great video.. i have the Da Vinci AiO and im would like to this but my board is a little different and it doesnt have a J1 jumper, is there anyway you could help me out I would really appreciate it. I can send you pics of the board if that would help.

[@garben63]

Great video, Thank you!!

[@MrAStuart]

What is the procedure for loading new firmware on a mac setup?

[@essencee234]

after this upgrade can i instal E3d v 6 nozzle extruder?

[@therealgaragegirls]

Good info. Thank you!

[@JAYMOR2122]

If I switch the firm ware will it work on windows vista ? I believe this machine won't work on vista out of the box

[@valentinacaniguantecordero5857]

amazing, thanks Jacob

[@jamespelt3651]

Actually you can update the serial number on the original firmware using a serial monitor (Arduino software.) Enter DAVERD to view the serial and DAVSSN_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX to update it. I do not know how to update other information though such as total hours used. Pretty sure you are not going to fool the guys at the factory.

[@NightshadeKc]

could you just pull the SD card and replace it with one that has the Repetier firmware flashed to it?

[@davidjjdj]

Does this also work on the 1.0 AIO?

[@ragnarock120]

You are awesome thank you for uploading this is really helpful nice review all in one you rock thumbs up

[@betsycarlile5976]

The firmware downloaded to my XYZ 1.0 just fine, everything on the printer side works great. However, my Windows 7 machine will no longer recognize the printer. In the device manager the printer does not show up on a com port but under a warning with USB Composite Device. I assume it's a driver issue but I am unable to find anything that will work. Anybody have any suggestions?

[@bradleymorgan8223]

Betsy Carlile when did you purchase your machine?

[@Incognitocostumesandprops]

Betsy Carlile This is the problem I am having

[@jpparker19]

Did you figure out a solution? Just did mine and am having the same problem.

[@andylfc7812]

If you change the firmware do you still have to use the XYZ filment or can you use any ABS?

[@ClayBusbey]

With repetier firmware and host you can use almost any filament as long as you change the setting accordingly.

[@photoshopjoker9229]

Can you do one for the da vinci 1.0A

[@andriuse]

Hello. My board is newer. And there is no J1 port to resset fw. My board 3DP03-ES008. it is works for my board?

[@metro9203]

Try a J36 pin then

[@MrKiwiWilson]

Hey Jacob could you do a video to upgrade to the new firmware version 0.92?

[@daikaiju466]

Almost works, I have a 1.0 version 2 board and everything works except the z axis which now only moves down. :/

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

Hey there! I had exactly the same issue so I rebooted, successfully but still have the same problem- Z axis only goes down. Did you get a fix for that?

[@daikaiju466]

@@bikefarmtaiwan1800 Actually I did. Issue was I have a newer 1.0A board so the firmware used in this video wasn't up to the task. I had to get the newest based around 0.92 Beta from github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-4-Davinci. Follow their directions EXACTLY and don't worry too much. You can always flash it again until you get it right. I was luckily ready to use this version but I went with this video cause it was easier and I didn't have to load the project in Arduino. I've now got the printer working great. Only issue is I'll have to mod it a bit to do PLA well but i'm working my way there. If you have any issues, feel free to message me and I'll do my best to help.

[@allenbaughman1390]

will that work on the new firmware for the Da Vinci printer wanted to kown before I buy one because you don't know what firm ware you in up with

[@IndaLight1]

Allen Baughman Yeah but trust me this printer sucks.... just save up and buy a good printer. I am saving you now.

[@bradleymorgan8223]

if i buy one of these right now, will this still work? if not, is there an updated tutorial?

[@austendegrenier2873]

Jacob, with the repitier firmware does the quality of the prints increase?

[@edwinsolares408]

Hi. what settings are you using in slic3r?

[@redlimit835]

do you need to have your computer connected the entire time you are printing with Repiter? Or can you send the job and disconnect it like you can with the stock firmware?

[@jacobdykstra8499]

You can send the job to the sd then start the job from the printer without needing to be connected.

[@harrydrakee]

still works with windows 10 ?

[@alexbromberek1234]

Do you know if this will work with the xyz printing da Vinci 2.0 duo 3d printer

[@jacobdykstra8499]

Yes it will work just fine repetier will just show two extruders rather than 1. Remember if anything you can always revert to the stock firmware.

[@SantiluX]

Thank you Jacob!

[@Tyleraversano]

Does this still work? I got the Da Vinci 1.0 for Christmas, and it had me do a firmware or software upgrade, i'm not sure which, but i don't know if they blocked this off with the update. Also, I know that this voids the warranty, does anyone know where you can buy replacement parts just in case something goes wrong in the future?

[@ClayBusbey]

Yes, kinda. You can go to the DaVinci website and get a new extruder, bed, and power supply but that is it.

[@adamsmith744]

HI DO IT WORK WITH THE DA VINCI 1.0 AIO

[@rucan2246]

works great cool thanks
