Cura Settings for da Vinci Printers (Page 1 of 2)

Hi. I am very newbie  in 3d printing and sorry if this question sounds stupid.
I am trying to use the software Cura with my Da Vinci mini +W printer. How can I send the gcode to the printer? When I try to add my printer in the Cura software, I can't see any XYZ printer. Should I install another software?

thanks jgc068 to share this settings, I added the printer to Cura following your instructions.

Also I can use CURA to move the printer head... But when I try to print from CURA, the printer LED gets red.

-XYZ software is totally closed when I try to print from CUra
-XYZ show that I have 0m fill..maybe that is causing the red light cause my machine is "blocked"?

Thanks

edit: I got an error message from MiniMover

So sending as gcode from MiniMover,if I put my original fill it says (M_CASSETE_EMPTY), and it stops

I will order an NTAG213 and will try

Thanks

after looking into cura a little more and turning on more speed options it looks like it slows down the print head at the right times. i am not sure. let me know if i am wrong here please.

Hi I’m having the same issue did you solve it?

I tried printing with the -20 and it worked but some times the nozzle hit the print.

I did the leveling of the bed twice without any lucky.

I Cannot find xyz ware version 1.2.0

Firmware version on the xyz site is now at 1.2.1

Hello

I have made all the settings which XYZ describes in their PDF!

But I am not successful to use the Print Command. I shows only the "Save to File"! Why can't I see the Print Button on my Mac? I tied it with 2 different systems (10.13.6 & 10.15.4)

Any Hints?

To be honest I would avoid printing live over USB and only use a card. If you are printing over USB and the PC restarts especially with Win10 it will cause the printer logic to lock up. This can result in the heater being left on but no longer monitored. It can and will began to glow red hot until it melts out of the hotend. It will then fall into the print and ignite it. This fire may stay small and contained or may spread and damage the room or even building the printer is in. For me I would rather use a card than risk the lives and property of myself and the other three families in my building.

You’re correct that the mini has no sd card. Using usb, however if cura crashes your print just stops. Because no further gcode is sent to the printer it just sits (in my case with the temp at 200 and the fan on full blast). While the print was ruined I noticed immediately and nothing tragic happened besides tossing that my 10 hour print. I do wish sdcard was an option.

Not all people in the world speak English as their native language, and therefore many mistakes are possible. I refuse to use the Google translator, because it only creates garbage and even more questions. (When I look at the company mails from XYZPrinting & Anycubic), I usually have to read the mails a dozen times to see what they mean (they probably use the Alibaba translator ;-)

We decided to meet up and "tried" to write in English in this forum. Every day I speak, German, Dutch, French, Italian and a very, very little English. My Latin is only what I learned at high school/university. At school we only had English as an elective language, but most students prefer spanish as a second language ;-) We learned and tried to speak Oxford English. When I visit the USA, it is difficult to understand the dialect you speak!
Probably in 25 years everyone here in europe will speak Mandarin as a second language, because one person has caused so much damage that everyone has lost interest in doing business with the USA.

The 2 largest speaking countries in the world, USA and UK, are both losing power in the global world because they have Harlequin as Prime Minister or President.

To reach the most people in the world we would have to speak Mandarin (more than 1 billion people) or Spanish (540 million)! English is only spoken by 360 million people.

Probably 1/3 of the people living in "your state of Texas" speak Spanish, so we need to be a little more tolerant. If you come to Europe, we have tried to communicate with you in English. We do not ask you if you want to speak classical Greek or Esperanto or the common European languages ;-)
Look at the Arabs, they will never speak your language! They can still do so because they have the stuff the world needs (oil). Everything else that the world needs, probably 50% comes from Asia, not from Europe or the USA. In 10 years China will produce more airplanes than Boeing and Airbus together!

I think a harlequin in Washington DC had a different opinion about this!
BTW: Enjoy your Independence Day today, it's probably his last as president ;-)

Jcg068,

The paper tags should work still on your w+, I had a similar issue until I searched google and Found a site that has the tags and was super helpful in getting the right ones. I’m still printing with them on a 3 in 1 and mini w+.  I was tired of playing computer chip hacker to use my best filament and wanted to print with my systems already.  Try them if you haven’t gotten the tags to work or just want to print. hope this helps.

the direct product url didn't work but oh well.

I hope you get printing again!
