Got a deal on a davinci 1.0, guy thought he bricked it switching to Repetier. I had it working in about 2 hours. Now I have installed an E3D clone, TL smoother, Bowden extruder and wired in my own parts fan. Has become one of my favorite printers do to the improvement from tinkering. I strongly suggest swapping the hot end, this lil machine is still capable

[@mitsuotoyama1091]

maybe make a video about it!! I wanna see how you have modified yours

[@3dbrinds41]

PLS!!! MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT!

[@hardhathooves9649]

I'm looking to update/upgrade my "new" 1.0 and I would really love to see what you've done. There are so many options now of what you can do hardware wise and I want to see what routes you took.

[@MrKuuubach]

This underextrusion problem, you mention in your video can be actually linked to bad extruder settings. I did everything You said, and also had an underextrusion problem, it turned out my 'Compatible material diameter' setting was set to 2.75 while i was using 1.75. I corrected it and everything worked like a charm, without crazy slow speed etc. If anyone has this problem, check if it's properly set.

[@BLBytes]

Thanks Kuba! This is what fixed it for me too.

[@alex1986efstaz]

That's also what fixed it for me!

[@raam1666]

0.35 print height is absurd for a .4 nozzle. I set it to .2 layer height and print speed is 40mm/s, travel is 100mm/s. This printer at first sight was really chintzy (I'm tuning it for a friend) But cura really made all the difference. In fact, Cura is so far above all the competition in terms of quality and price (FREE), I don't know why anyone would ever use anything else at all.

what is the bypass for 3rd party filament?

[@dougiecowan9985]

^^^^^

[@DwarMeji]

After about 4 years running the DaVinci AiO, the inevitable finally happened, that plastic wrapped wiring harness(00:28) got caught between the blade-like target and the print bed top Z-axis sensor and cut a wire in two. No more heated extruder until I managed to solder a wire link to repair it. 00:37 shows a completely different wiring harness device, so I guess you had the same issue happen to your printer. This factory-installed, long, dangling harness needs a rubber band to hold it away from the sensor and it's "guillotine". Just so you know.....

[@3DPC]

I had the original wire harness crumble a couple years ago during an overnight print and woke up to several wires melted together under the nozzle. electronics all fried / shorted out. I've had about a dozen or so XYZ Davinci Pros.

Thanks for posting this video. I have a Davinci 2.0 Duo. Is it still possible to control the print settings by exporting the G-code through Cura or is this just a Pro thing?

[@timoeugster7809]

Firstly, thanks for all your hard work... This is what makes this community so good! I tried your settings but unfortunately they didn't work for me. I exported the .gcode and opened it in XYZware Pro and sent it to the printer. The printer then started heating up to about 191°C (extruder) and 41°C (plate), but then the printer gets stuck and nothing more happens. It just shows the temperature but doesn't do anything further... Do you know of this problem and is there a fix? Thanks again :)

[@narnia3256]

whyyyy whyyyyy i bought xyz printer !!!! now i need to watch video like that !!!!Thank you author , i wanted to put xyz in trash but now it have a small chance

[@evilempryss]

I've got a Davinci Pro running version 2.0.1. I used your settings, and after slicing in Cura and importing the gcode, XYZ gives me a single layer of what looks like infill in the shape of my project and says it'll take over 247 hours to print it. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Will XYZ show the project properly or do I just have to trust that I sliced it correctly in Cura? Would it be easier to just load it to my SD card (which I've already hacked to be on an extension outside the printer casing)? Or did XYZ just screw with users again by making things more difficult with the latest software update? I've already reported two bugs to them, so it wouldn't surprise me to find they made it harder for people to use other software with their printers.

[@BrunoSisler]

Interesting Video. Congrats! I have a question regarding printing with Cura using a Da Vinci Jr 1: how if possible, switch lights on/off ? I tryied to insert in the scripts start G-code M355 s1 for lights on and M355 s0 for lights off without any luck. Could you ENLIGHT me please 🙏 ?

[@Johnsmith-uc9df]

Hi thanks for your videos What’s the paper on your bed you use

[@3DPC]

I've been using blue painters tape the past couple years, love it. This kind is available at pretty much every store I've ever been to, but check the inside of the cardboard roll to look for "#2090", there are other variations like 2020, 2060 and they don't grip prints nearly as well. Formula 2080 was acceptable, but 2090 is particularly good. amzn.to/3vTTTBG

[@gfrraider2]

hello dear 3D PC, i have an issue with cura, my printer (davinci mini w) for what ever reason doesn´t go up while printing, it just stays low and scratches over the first layer, do you have an idea why this happens ? kind regards

[@TheBrothers759]

Sounds like the motor or belt that is driven by the motor is bad

[@mehigh]

Hy and thanks for sharing the information. The problem is that Cura can't see my Da Vinci Jr. 1.0 Pro connected with usb cable. How do I resolve that? Do I just add a custom not networked printer with my settings, right? And then slice and save on the Sd card.

[@3DPC]

Use Cura to export a .Gcode file, then open the Gcode file in XYZware and use XYZware to send the file to the printer's memory over USB.

[@360_tours]

What software do you use to initiate the print? XYZ or CURA?

[@3DPC]

Cura only creates the Gcode, XYZware sends it to the printer and tells the printer to start.

[@marcoj.m679]

I have to do something more to the gcode if i want to print It from the internal sdcard? Im using a DaVinci aio. Tia

[@boyaras]

Hello everyone, I am trying to load gcode from Cura into XYZprint and load only the first few layers. If I read this gcode into Cura it will load all layers. Anyone know the solution?

[@crazyAlexander23]

how do you make Cura talk to the printer if you need to have XYZwere open to print???

[@3DPC]

Cura is used to generate the Gcode only, Cura can't transfer the print to the printer, only XYZware can transfer the print over USB/wifi. You can't have both open at the same time when trying to transfer because Cura will compete with XYZware for the COM port that the printer is using, not allowing XYZware full control of the port.

[@crazyAlexander23]

@@3DPC ahhh ok so i generate the slicer file in Cura save it on a USB drive then plug it into the printer and then i can print it?

[@3DPC]

​@@crazyAlexander23 The XYZ printers I have used do not have a USB drive slot. Transfer the file over a USB cable connected between the PC and printer.

There is a tool called "miniMover" that eliminates XYZWare altogether. github.com/reality-boy/miniMover if you want to build it.

cura doesnt recognize the printer

[@3DPC]

Cura doesn't talk to the printer, XYZware does. We're only using Cura to slice the file, not download it.

[@clemsmith2253]

@@3DPC how do you get the file to xyz. there is no sd card on xyz, right? or is that a hack

[@3DPC]

@@clemsmith2253 You communicate with the XYZ printer using the same XYZ software and USB cable as before. The difference is that instead of loading a STL file in XYZware, (to create a file the printer can understand) we are loading the STL file in CURA instead. CURA will give us a GCODE file that we open in XYZware as if it were a saved file from XYZware.

I cant figure it out, WHY BUY PRINTERS LIKE THIS? Where you can do NOTHING and you pay them an eye of the head! Hundreds of euro for what? An enclousure full of limitations.... can't understand. And the printed objects seems to be pretty crappy too... MIstery... Ender3 4 ever...

[@3DPC]

Back in 2016 when I was shopping for my first printer, the Da Vinci pro was one of very few available under $1000. The Ender 3 didn't launch until 2018.
