There is no real tutorial. If you use w34's modded XYZware to load already sliced gcode from Cura onto your printer, it will automatically change the G0 commands to G1.

Beyond that I changed my Cura settings to the bed at 200X200X200, build shape is square and flavor to reprap marlin / sprinter in it's "machine" settings with heated bed checked (DaVinci 1.0) If I ever want to use the multi object print one at a time feature I'll have to come up with settings for the other side of that page, but I haven't tried that yet.

In my case the filament I use is a bit small, so I've set that to be 1.60 with flow at 100% since that is what mine measures at. I've set the speeds to be very slow at 45, 20, 40, 30, 30 (from Travel speed going down) and on the basic tab my first layer speed is 30.

I change the bed temp and head temp depending on what I'm doing, but expect the DaVinci to pause before it prints if you select something other than what the cartridge would put the temp at. It pauses while the temp changes to your numbers.

The last IMPORTANT thing is to get the Z offset correct. As long as your bed is level you can set this yourself in the gcode since Cura doesn't give an easy option to do so. If you have no means to measure it, use notepad ++ to change the G1 Z15.0 at the top of the output to say G1 Z18.0 to give yourself an extra 3mm to start off with. Then start a print and notice how far off the glass you are when it starts extruding into the air. Cancel out of the print and lower the number until your "properly" flattening the first layer onto the glass (in my case that number would currently be G1 Z14.10 since my offset off by almost a milimeter).

You can then decide how you want to fix this. You could add two lines to the start gcode in Cura that looks like this below this line "G1 Z15.0 F2700 ;move the platform down 15mm".

G1 Z14.10 F2700  <-- add these two to move the Z offset -.9mm for example
G92 Z15.00

You could also edit the gcode manually in notepad ++ like I do, which also allows you to change temperature, speeds, or whatever on specific layers. Cura's marking of each layer of code is invaluable if your going to edit manually.

I realize this was a lot of info that isn't that easy to follow. Sadly I'm not very good with "guides" or things like that, but I hope the suggestions help.

This should be enough to get me started! I'll see how it goes.  Thanks!

I have been useing Cure for a little while with my Da Vinci. I am using the repetier firmware with it and OctoPi ro control it.

I have set my machine settings to..
Max width 270
Max Death 220
Max Height 200

That will put any object centred in Cura will be centred on your Da Vinci

Hey thanks for the reply. Is there any way you could go into more detail? I'm pretty new at this stuff.

Is there an easy to follow guide anyone has written on how they got their Davinci working with cura?
