<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Cartridge Refilling]]> 2015-05-30T15:17:34Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/9079/cartridge-refilling/ <![CDATA[Re: Cartridge Refilling]]> Be aware the many of the official refill kits purchased have chips that DO NOT WORK.  The firmware detects them as counterfeit chips and doesn't allow it to be used.  I was quite surprised after trying to be good to them by buying their filament.  I feel like a fool I didn't buy cheaper 3rd party filament, as I am still going to be forces to move to repetier firmware just to use the official filament.

Possibly, it is a ploy to get more people to upgrade to their less-hackable recent firmwares that lock out resetters.  For me, it just burned bridges on the idea of not-hacking their firmware.

If their DRM actually worked, that's one thing, but DRM that doesn't allow original equipment to work with official filament?  That is just insulting.

If you watch when they show everything in the box it comes with the eeprom chip. So I don't think are going to stop enforcing it.

I tried refilling one once and it took more than an hour and a stiff neck. Now if you made a motorized system to hold the take up reel and a spindle for the host reel it might not be that bad.

Unless they say so, I doubt it. The filament is their bread and butter.
