Re: [HOWTO] Convert Da Vinci Jr to RAMPS 1.4

I got it to limp through its first print!!!!! A huge thank you to everyone who helped me get through the programming! Only issue left is it pauses while printing (no errors) it just stops, maintains temps, and sits there. If I hit “pause” then “resume” in printrun (mac) it will resume and do another couple layers before pausing again. I have a feeling it is because my models started in xyzmaker, sliced with slic3r, then run through printrun by usb cable. I’ve seen it’s better to use the sdcard? Anyone have a design program they recommend, I’m currently playing with Rhinoceros trial?

Update: it finally gave an error and apparently it is the printrun software. No fix’s yet. Unfortunately, my computer is too old for fusion 360 but it looks pretty good :-(

Tinkercad is free but online only. It is somewhat basic but you can get creative with many of the primatives when combined.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

Tinkercad is awesome. I can print without issues through the SD card. Anyone have any advice on a light solution? I've hooked up all 3 wires in all 3 spots with and without resistors and can not get the factory light to come on.

Re: [HOWTO] Convert Da Vinci Jr to RAMPS 1.4

hi everyone, so i got a great deal on a davinci jr with 5 rolls of aftermarket filament i cant use because of no nfc chip., and later learned about the nfc technology.. thats a a bummer. i just started to use the printer more and learning more and decided to start the overhaul and make these mods to my oem printer. much neaded. i also want the larger printing capabilities. i will do this mod instead of getting a whole new printer. thank you Anthem for the detailed guide... my specialty is taking things apart and rebuilding lol..
