As far as a stuck print, if you have a can of duster sitting around try turning it upside down and spray the bottom of the print to try to freeze it, it might lift off.

I am trying to run version 1.02 on my second computer which is a Dell Workstation with the intel and Nvida chips. I can not get it to work. It loads ok says that it connects to my printer. But I can not get the software to do anything. The software also runs sluggish. I click on an option and wait, wait, wait for it to update my selection. I wanted to use it for manually heating the bed. I was able to get the software to work on my AMD/ATI PC. As for the bed heating issue not the crashing issue. I just updated my printer's firmware, could that be the problem?
I really need a fix/help on this issue, please. Right now I have a print stuck to my bed and I want to heat the bed to see if I can get it off.

Thanks,
John

Hi,
Just tried installing the XYZware mod software. I don't remember what version. If I find the version number i will post. The first time I started up the software it ran fine. Then I tried starting it again so I could see if the software detected my printer and it crashed my PC. I just recovered from the Proxy hijack virus spyware so maybe that is the problem. But imediately after clicking on the software the screen sort of pixelates and then Blue screen crash. ;just seeing if anyone else is having issues.
P.S. i tried installing the XYZprinting version of XYZware and I keep getting error 87 on launch.

I have a Dell Mini PC WITH THE AMD processor and 4GB Ram.

Oh ok for that.  I agree you do need to have some form of instruction and software release control.  I only realised this when I started getting a few users for my software.  I now have a more formal release system and a youtube channel and forum.

Sounded like a really good idea though.  XYZ seems a bit limited and a bit underhanded the way they charge for filament.
I even heard that they try to detect the filament reset and disable the printer!

I will stick with the XYZware for the short term.

All the best

John

What needed to be setup to stop this happening.
I think what is missing (apart from my experience with xyz open mod), is a sort of setup guide.

I have a software forum for my Telescope automation software and I release packages that contain:
information on what releases the firmware and software has to be at.
Driver rev levels
Installation instructions.
Configuration guide
Sample observing plans
Users manual.
Yes mine is also freeware..

I think that what I might need is the config guide and what XYZware revs and firmware the XYZ Open Mod is applicable to.
Thanks

John

Cool mod for the XYZware, I love all the options.
Are there any recommended settings for initial prints using this modded version?

I started a print, it didnt quite sound right so I watched it.  Luckily I was there, finger on the power switch, because the nozzle hit the bed and chipped a very small piece off the glass O_O
Its a very small chip and there doesnt appear to be any damage.  I updated back to the original for a small print make sure everything is ok.

There is nothing to be fixed. It is just a matter of correct initial setup on your part.

All this has gone a bit quiet??

I have a new XYZ Da Vinci and would prefer to have a better Open solution to software and slicer.

Has this been tested on the new Da Vinci 1.0a with the new firmware?

John

I got the mod to open and Slic3r working, but cannot figure out how to get a print job sent to the printer.

I click connect to the printer, it says L_IDLE and nothing happens. I cannot manipulate it with manual control or anything.
Do I need to change something on the printer to make it cooperate with this software?

Really very lost on this guys any help would be appreciated, already frustrated with the quality of the prints from the stock software.
