Topic: XYZ Da Vinci Filament Counter Resetter
In order not to spam existing threads, I thought I start a new thread dedicated to the filament resetting for the XYZ Da Vinci printer.
As you know cartridge supplies for the XYZ are low so it's necessary to be able to reset your existing cartridge usage counter and use alternative filament to keep your 3D printing going.
Over the past month, I've posted various versions of the XYZ resetter (XYZAP!) on thingiverse.com see: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:302209 and related links. This can be printed by yourself (I recommend you print the "pro" version STL files as they have stronger retaining clips).
Inside this resetter there is an Arduino pro-mini board programmed with a variation of voltivo's (Oliver Fueckert's) code therefore it is fully compatible with his code which is available on github (https://github.com/voltivo/davinci_fila … _eprom.ino). Just use sketch to upload to the arduino and build it all with the information at my page http://wctek.com/xyz or Oliver's page at http://voltivo.com/blog/da-vinci-reset-eeprom.
If you're not technical and/or can't be bothered building the resetter, you can get it built and tested, or, if you do want to play with it and build it yourself, you can get the parts on my site such as:
A pre-programmed micro controller board
3 gold plated spring-loaded pins
2 pin jumper or pre-cut link (to set the temperature to 230*C) new
One ECR1632 3V battery
NOTE: if you opt for the DIY option, you will still need to print the 3D enclosure from thingiverse.com (see above) and solder 3 wires from the arduino board to the 3 pins to build the complete resetter. A push-button is also needed if you want to build the pro version.
Have fun,
F3
