Topic: Da Vinci 1.0 Won't Print from my Laptop

I haven't used this 3D printer in a while and I have a new laptop. I'm running Windows 10 and the XYZ software and it seemed to have installed properly. When I go to print, it shows the object but just hangs and freezes up my entire laptop. I have to restart the laptop to do anything else.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong.
BTW, it used to work great on my old laptop running I think it was XP.

Thanks
Phil

Re: Da Vinci 1.0 Won't Print from my Laptop

the best I can offer is if you still have the old laptop, run the printer from that.
I have no idea about Windows 10 as I refuse to use it at this time - far too many have had issues similar to yours for me to risk it.

This may be an unsigned software install issue. If so, you need to turn off that security feature before you install. There are instructions online. -- ggunners

Heartless,
Just for grins, I used my old laptop and it did start to print. It ust be a Windows 10 issue. Luckily, I still have the old laptop.

Ggunners,
I'll look into that security feature thing.

Unfortunately, now I'm getting an error code 0014 which means I may be purchasing a new nozzle or something.
The temp is not going up past 10 degrees. I had a similar problem before when the extruder got all caked up with filament (I mean really bad). When I was trying to remove all the plastic, I broke a wire. I fixed it and it worked for a while. I have to see if the wire came off again.
I can get a new nozzle setup from XYZ for $99. I will if I have to. Can you buy parts for the Da Vinci 1.0 printers anywhere else but XYZ? I tried Ebay and Amazon but didn't see anything.
Thanks
Phil

Is there a driver you need to install. ?? I had a similar issue with an old but new to me laptop running vista. Loaded RH and no run  so installed arduino which in turn loaded the arduino board drivers and then everything worked fine.
I know th xyz is a little different from the Ramps boards and the arduino marin reprap machines but something to thinkl about.
