<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Repetier firmware on Davinci 1.0 Pro]]> 2019-01-06T07:43:11Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/17828/repetier-firmware-on-davinci-10-pro/ <![CDATA[Re: Repetier firmware on Davinci 1.0 Pro]]> I received my MK8 extruder motor the other day and replaced the stock one on the Davinci Pro 1.0.  It was pretty much a direct fit with the exception of not being able to use one of the small plastic covers which was really no big deal.  It prints much better now and there’s virtually no popping sounds now as the new idler seems to hold much more pressure on the filament reducing the chance of slippage or filament grinding.  I highly recommend the upgrade for those thinking about it.  The cost was very reasonable from Amazon as well.  Thanks for all the help.

The wires I have indicators on are the ones that go to the motherboard not the motor.

Ok, here is a picture of my original filament stepper. If you notice, the wires go to the housing/filament detector and no where else. When I pulled the unit out of my printer there were no wires left. I plugged the 4 stepper motor wires into the new stepper motor. I make sure I always have enough filament as to not run out.

PS. I just found the four wires you were referring to. I just tied them back inside the printer so they would not bind up on anything.

From there they go through the ribbon cable to mainboard. To my knowledge based on experience with the 1.0 the little wheel would be used for stall or jam detection but even though it is wired it does not seem to be incorporated into the firmware.

This made a huge difference in the noise coming from my printer. The JR has the same funky setup as yours.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.

Therefore Repetier is not supported on it. What you would have to do is what others have done and replace the controller with another such as RAMPS or an MK series. You will loose some of the pro functions like wifi and the engraver. But you would loose that if Repetier was supported as well.

Also the that detect switch is optical. All you have to do is tie its sense pin high and the machine will think filament is always passing through it.

Post a good picture of your main board and we can point them out to you. That printer had two, possibly three different revisions on it's board when it was being released.

But as Yizhou said you can get the firmware from the XYZ site. You can't edit it as it is a bin file but you can flash it back if you enjoy self inflicted punishment.

You can download the firmware from xyzprinting website, so I don't see why you have to go through all these trouble to backup the original firmware.
