Lots of useful information here, think I'll be back often :-)

I am also trying to get3rd party filament running through my DaVinci Jr. 1, but the link for xyz.zip (  the enhanced software) is no longer functional - anyone still have a copy of it somewhere and able to load it here again ?

Thanks !!

I then found a github java project to decrypt the new zipped AES gcode .3W format but seems the password changed and so this no longer works.

Use py-threedub.  It will successfully encrypt and de-crypt  gocde <--> 3w files.  Search these forums for the location, it is on github.

EDIT: here is the link -> https://gitlab.com/anthem/py-threedub

I did  install old version ofXYZware, got the advanced mode going and  tried changing filament use fields to zero.   The old version crashed repeatedly and while I could see model it would not print.   I also tried pasting gcode from Slic3r.

I then found a github java project to decrypt the new zipped AES gcode .3W format but seems the password changed and so this no longer works.

Seems XYZ have killed the fun of hacking which is a pity for many reasons.  Great for their pockets though.

So I may end up buying a very cheap PLA printer to use up the spools o perhaps try the RAMPS switch to end XYZ monopoly on my filament.

hi, same problem.  After replacing xyz.exe with you advanced version,  xyzware no longer loads.
Is it possible to install an older xyz directory thats compatible?

XYZ have probably updated a DLL thus rendering the Advanced version useless.

You could uninstall, load an old version, then check if the advanced version works in that folder.
If it does, back up the folder and then load the newer version if required..
You'll then be able to use both the advanced version and the latest xyz one.

Hello,

I cant change the extruder temperature with the advanced mode.
im using the da vinci jr.
Can someone help me out?

I have used slic3r to generate the gcode and then convert to .3w with ThreeDubber (can be found in this forum).
I set the temperature in slic3r verified these temperature during printing and it works. I also changed temperatures in the advanced mode, but I had to change at least on three places. As I understand it there is one temperature for the first layer and a second temperature for the rest of the print. I always print from the SD-card.

where can i find the rumored "threedubber"

I had the same question, but after searching the forum I found that there is s link to download the executable file on post 249 of the DaVinci Junior cartridge reset topic thread (I hope this link works: http://www.soliforum.com/post/113862/#p113862). I used it to encrypt and decrypt code but haven't tried putting a model through slic3r and printing etc...

The JR uses the RFID in the spool to set temps. That overrides any changes you might make since it is checke at the start of every job. The version of software the JR uses is different from the other Da Vinci models.
