Topic: XYZ Da Vinci Jr/Mini - Printing with Simplify3D
I had asked the folks at Simplify3D if their software worked with the XYZ Da Vinci miniMaker and if their software would allow us to use generic PLA filament and not XYZ’s proprietary filament since the XYZware checks for their filament before printing. I could never get them to give me an answer.
First reply:
Hi Bob,
We actually have this exact same printer in our office that we have used with Simplify3D many times, so it is definitely supported. If you want advice about what exact settings to use, please let me know after you purchase and I can send you a copy of my latest settings.

When I asked again about the alternate filaments, this was their reply:
Hi Bob,
I know we have many users who use alternate filaments on the machine, but I'm sure it can depend on the specific firmware version you are using as well. It may be best to ask other XYZ users to see what modifications were required to run alternate filaments with the machine, as I know we have many users who have done exactly this.

Is anyone using Simplify3D software and if so do we have the same restrictions with this software? If I knew it would work without the NFC tag check I would spend the $149.
