I have a XYZprinting da Vinci 1.1 Plus and the original filament cartridge is now empty.

I would like to know how I can continue using this printer with other filament brands or generic filament.

Is there a way to bypass the cartridge chip or reset it?

What type of filament works best with this printer?

Thanks for your help!

Can I buy an Executor replacement?

It's like the last file I printed under the old XYZMaker is stuck in the printer and nothing else will print. I've removed all the old software, rebooted, removed and reloaded the new software, and the same file always prints.

Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas on what I can do to get my printer printer again?

As mentioned I have a Da Vinci 1.0 pro with very limited usage since I bought it brand new some years ago, where I use SImplify3D software.

Quite recently, and just looking for some spare XYZ cartridges (I know that with the pro I can use open filament but for me and because of space reasons it is more convenient to refill the cartridges with other filament brands) I have the opportunity to get a second hand Da Vinci 2.0A Duo with a faulty Extruder.

I have flashed it with the Repetier Firmware and I was thinking if it makes sense to replace the extruder with two E3D V6 or even a Chimera one, I have seen different mods and adaptions but I have a doubt about those adaptations and how to handle the different distance between the nozzles that I have seen there. Is this something that you need to adapt in the firmware? in the printer settings menu? or in the printer software? May someone guide me on this?

Thanks in advance

I’ve followed the instructions to update to the open filament firmware, but it doesn’t update automatically and I have no option to update.
The pro-e give no option, the regular XYZware says server is down.

I’ve found an offline updater, but I can’t find the open filament firmware.

Please help, I just want to use this printer.

the only firmware I can get to do anything is a download of repetire a bin file, system comes on great but dosnt save any setings

using repetire host I can send item to print but  it seems the bed in to the extruder, it trys to print but all the media just curls around the extruder not sticking to the print bed

i would like to get back to xyz firmware so I can try out the new open source offered by XYZ

using bossa I can send davinci firmware to printer but all version just  render the printer dead not recognised by the computer

using davinci firmware upgrade I can install repetire in recovery mode this is the only firmware that boots the printer

also should there be any files or folders on the SD card ? I belive the printer uses part of the SD card as eeprom save files?

I have followed this process and can confirm that my Da Vinci Mini w+ is now on firmware 3.2.7 and prints without a NFC tag present.

Here are the guides for all Open Tag upgradable printers:

• da Vinci Color
• da Vinci nano
• da Vinci Jr. 1.0 3 in 1
• da Vinci Jr. 1.0
• da Vinci Jr. 1.0w
• da Vinci mini w
• da Vinci mini w +
• da Vinci miniMaker
• da Vinci nano w
• da Vinci 1.0
• da Vinci 1.0A
• da Vinci 1.0 AiO
• da Vinci 1.1
• da Vinci 2.0 Duo
• da Vinci 2.0A

I hope this helps those still wanting to use their XYZ Printer!

I made sure to get 213 tags, not 215 or some other capacity.

I'm both using a new android phone and an old Galaxy S4, so there shouldn't be a quirk with one single device- I've seen multiple posts specifically talking about the S4. I'm getting the same results from both phones. except Reel Tool wants to crash on the S4.

NFCXYZ Refill Tag Pro 1.6 isn't generating tags that the printers seem to be able to read- I'm simply getting errors stating that there is no spool present at all- the tags are not being recognized, despite them being directly affixed to the bottom of the spool arm.
(Using 200/200 filament length)

The NTAG Refill tool default mode can't seem to do anything with these tags after I used the above tool- it just comes up with blank tag information, only lets me toggle the material, color, whether the UID and Serial Number is valid or not, and not allow me to hit Generate Tag. (Some tutorials state that use of this app is important, others skip it)

Some information IS being written at the NFCXYZ app step- when I use the NTAG Refill tool Dump Editor Read Tool, there's four pages present, with the first six having data, the last two being blank zeroes. None of the tags I've used have become locked.
Reel Tool doesn't seem to want to do much with my paper tags- if I hold them up to either phone, it just repeatedly chimes without doing anything else.

I've also noticed a curious behavior- many people state that you should disconnect the XYZ software from the internet entirely, but my printer will refuse to connect to the software unless a full or partly-full tag is loaded and is connected to the internet. Its making it rather tedious to test things, so I've resorted to simply starting the program with a valid tag, and disconnecting the internet entirely before trying tags.

Anyone have any advice? Am I overlooking something obvious?
With my firmware, should the refill tool for the 40mm spool chip be safe?
Maybe an earlier version of the NFC Refill tool might work? I've seen some folks say that the 1.4 version works better for them, but all the links I've found for it are dead.

Thanks in advance for your time.

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.

Same goes for the timeout mode enabled value of 000000E0. This one gets resetted to the first part of the UID in 0x2D. 0x2D to 0x2F aren't changeable as well.

I have also disabled the dynamic lock byte feature at 0x28. standard value was 000000BD and I have set it to 00000000 just to make sure.

Thanks for your help guys! It's driving me nuts already:-)

I'm about ready to sling this thing out the window.

I've tried every firmware available including downgrading. Each stock firmware has some sort of issue.

Significantly improve the print quality of the daVinci Mini series by quickly cooling down the PLA/PETG print object. An improved cooling effect reduces filament dripping and streaking for more consistent print quality, also poor bridging.

Notes on printing:
Due to the required small tolerances of the object, it is recommended to use the highest printing settings.

Notes on assembly:
Rotate the fan so that it blows air toward the extruder. All screws are reused, no additional material is required.
