Topic: How I Hacked Da Vinci mini w+
Hey everyone! After trying to do the filament hack on my mini w+, I finally made it work! Since the forum has little to no information about Da Vinci w+ printers, I decided to help.
All you need is:
1. XYZprint or XYZware that works without any errors (except for the filament empty error)
2. A couple of NTAG213 tags
3. A couple of apps (My phone is on Android 10 by the way)
3.1. LINK TO APP APK FILES --> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ … sp=sharing
4. A whole lot of patience.
STEP ONE
- Download all the apps
- Obtain NTAG213
- Download or open your desired XYZ 3D program (XYZprinting or Xyzware)
STEP TWO
- Open NFCXYZ app
- Scan the NTAG213 with the app
- Edit the info however you like
STEP THREE
- Open NFC Refill Tool
- Scan the NTAG213 with the app
- Edit the info however you like
- Press "Generate TAG"
STEP FOUR
- Google how to disable internet access to a program (I have McAfee so I disabled from there)
- Disable internet access to XYZware or XYZprinting
- Open XYZware or XYZprinting
- Decline everuything, even updates (if there are any updates)
STEP FIVE
- Connect printer to the PC
- Choose the printer
- Import .stl file or any other file that works
- Slice the object according to the NTAG213 info you wrote with the usage of apps (ex: choose PLA if wrote PLA with the app)
STEP SIX
- Take out the original chip and place the tag neatly
OR
- Tape the tag to the bottom of the filament holder (dunno if that works, but the tag must be in contact wit the bottom)
- Ckeck the XYZware or XYZprinting screen for filament updates
STEP SEVEN
- Cross your fingers and print
This is all that I've done to make mine work. I'm still a beginner at such things but feel free to ask anything.
