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. smile

PETG WON'T WORK!!
I tried making PETG tags but they didn't work. Instead make the settings advanced and edit the temperature.
Works like a charm!

UPDATED FILES LIST - ADDED XYZWARE FLASH TOOL
Downgrade or upgrade your printer to version 1.2.4 for the best result! Upgrading further won't make this hack work!! At least when I tried it (bye bye two NCF213 tags...).

YOU CAN PRESS ACCEPT
So I finally decided to press "accept" on the boxes shown when the program is launched and nothing bad happened! So, it's safe to press accept.

SOFTWARE COLLECTION
I found this yesterday, this may help to choose the best software for your printer. Also, it has XYZware.

NOPE NOPE NOPE THIS NO LONGER WORKS
Delete the program and reinstall it. Continue to press "decline" and block the internet access to it as well.
