XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 Hacking (Page 5 of 6)

Well I think I have figured it out seems like the value after the "F" is the speed, and it set to 1800 throughout most of the file. Setting it to something like 300 prints out at a normal speed, and looking at the xyzware output most values are in the 300-600 range.

So i don't know if this is a slic3er issue or if xyz did something with the firmware again that messes with outputs from third party slicers.

Hi Guys,
I bought new Da Vinci 1.0 - my firmware is 1.0.6
Please how i reset cartridge? i have Arduino MEGA 2560 (my friend have UNO)
Thanks a lot for help!

I want to use a raspberry pi with my XYZ da Vinci 1.0a. So i gave the python script from the first post in this topic a go. Sure it did get the printer to heat up and move the extruder to start position but it did never start printing so i cancelled that print. Is it supposed to do that, or?

Also there is a hard wired checksum in the python file. How it is suposed to be calculated is also posted in this thread, but that code is not in python. I am not skilled enough with python to appy the checksum calculation in order to try print other gcode files. So who can apply that fix? I am willing to try test it.

Simplify3D supports the DaVinci directly. It acts as a slicer and host. It should connect directly to it and allow you to send prints directly to it as well. They even say it supports XYZ right on their site under supported printers.  You dont need to flash or anything.

Is it possible print PLA with my Da vinci 1.0A? i have  1.0.6 System and serial starts 3F10A.... Repetier firmware, I do not know whether it is possible to install it

What does the motherboard on the Jr look like? Is it the same board as the other Da Vinci  printers? If it is the same then it should not be to hard to reverse engineer the outputs and add it to one of the versions supported by Repetier.

If you have somehow erased your Jr then you have ruined your machine for now. There is no Firmware for that machine that you can download right now. There may never be as there are very few people who have purchased one of these.

Hey for those with a xyz Davinci AIO who are flashed to the Repetier firmware, Luc-github has some updates that now support the top door and light badge.

So... the Jr motherboard uses the Arm4 Cortex processor instead of the Arm3, but the code should be very compatible.  It seems to me that we can use the same tool chain, but update the signature check to look for the Arm4 (ATSAM4) instead of the ATSAM3.  As soon as I verify the boot pins, I'll try it.

vova_aryasov, did you short the two pins in the round mark to get it to reset?  My next step was going to trace the boot pins from the main chip to see if they were, but if you can confirm then I'll be one step closer.  I have a Jr just for educational purposes and if all else fails, I'll just drop in a printrboard to get it printing again, so I can experiment away on the main board... I have no plans on ever purchasing more closed filament for it.

It's possible to use Slicr3 with Da Vinci 1.0A  stock firmware? The current version is 2.0.0.

We got the printer two weeks ago and so far I just print two models downloaded from XYZ gallery and one that I made an "H" on Sketchup to test supports and bridges. I found many interesting articles in here and on Slic3r documentation, but I didn't manage to get an functional .3w file converted from gcode.

I've created a simple box on sketchup just to test infill and layer height, but when I save gcode as .3w it didn't work.

This is the start of gcode

I replaced the first 7 lines with these lines below, save as test.3w with base64 encode, but XYZware don't open the file.

; filename = composition.3w
; machine = daVinciF10
; material = abs
; layer_height = 0.2
; total_layers = 173
; total_filament = 0.00
; extruder = 1

It's confusing because some people say the semicolon are important others says they aren't. I'm using PLA filament, must I change that? What about total_layers and total_filament, make any difference changing that? The filename must be the same as the 3w file (test.3w)?

I'm using Windows 8.1 and I'd rather not open the printer to get the SD card if not needed, because I don't want to lose the warranty.

@Landin81 Downgrade to Arduino version 1.5.8 or lower as a quick fix. The code will compile and run fine with that version. Arduino 1.6.6 handles the definition of the boolean data type differently.
