Topic: Firmware 1.2.7 for DaVinci Mini (w)

Guys,

I´m using my Mini with Simplify3d and Paper Tags that I create with cgrillos tool (thx again for that!).

Sometimes I still use xyzware for bed levelling etc. It now advised me to update the firmware from 1.2.3 to 1.2.7

Does anybody know what this FW is good for ? I fear for my paper tag option. Does anyone use paper tags with the new version ? Do the prints get any better with the new fw ?

IMHO if it is not broke do not attempt to fix it.
But i have no experience with any davinci so no expert.

Personally I would not use their internal bed leveling as it does not take into account your desired layer height. You should really use the manual method if the bed has adjusters on it.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

I don't think mini have bed adjuster on it, but add one with heated bed is not difficult.

My feeling is miniMaker automatically bed leveling works better than Jr.. But I still prefer manual bed leveling.

Some reported miniMaker don't recognize paper tag after firmware upgrade, but the cause is not confirmed. If you don't want to learn how to downgrade firmware, you should wait for more information. If you accidentally upgrade the firmware or xyzware upgrade it for you without your permission, here is the guide how to downgrade to 1.2.3

if you don't want to risk get upgraded by accident, try David's miniMover, it is free, fast, easy to use, so much better than xyzware. And it will not make your miniMaker auto-upgrade.

Re: Firmware 1.2.7 for DaVinci Mini (w)

Can anyone here confirm if the paper tags still work on 1.2.7?

Paper tags worked fine for me with firmware 1.2.7
