Thanks a lot, rockosmodlife.

I will downgrade to version E, but, do the trick of renaming the offlineprinting.gcode to sample01.gcode works ?
Have you try it yourself ?

Thanks, Jean

It works fine with the Flashair, just upload the file to the SD card and select it from the demo prints on the LCD menu.

Actually, that is not entirely accurate.
The stock filament cartridge only goes up to 210C. Most 3rd party ABS requires 230-ish C.
Yes, it's true that the 1.1.E FW with a "tuned" XYZ-ware will not count, but you still need to zap in order to print at higher temps than 210C.

That's not accurate either.
My cartridge is set to 210C but I can set a higher/lower printing temp in Cura.
I've been using temps between 190 and 225C for PLA recently.

Hi Everyones.
First, thanks you all for sharing your experiences and tricks, to save time and troubles for newbie like me.

Here's what i want to do;
Using filament other than the DaVinci cartriges.
Using slicer software like Slic3r or a better one.
Pushing G-Code files directly to the printer.

Here's what i have for now;
DaVinci printer with 1.1.i FirmWare out of the box.
Toshiba FlashAir 8Gb Class 10 (will receive shortly).
A copy of the originals files from the SD card on my computer.

And here's what i want to know;
I've heard that the offlineprinting.gcode file was not counting the cartridge;

If you change the offlineprinting.gcode to SAMPLE01.gcode and access it from the menu>utilities>Samples>Demo you can print the files all day long without it reducing the filament count on the eeprom chip. No soldering or wasting time resetting the chip. So essentially you can print what you want and not worry about the chipped cartridges. I’ve printed PLA, NYLON, NINJAFLEX, whatever. "

So if i'm saving a slic3r file to g-code, replacing the header by the one of the offlineprinting.gcode and renaming it to sample01.gcode, and than pushing it by wifi to the printer, could i be save of buying a filament resetter ?  Is this the good way to do it ?

Thanks, Jean.

Should be noted that if running stock software the software will need to be firewalled so it can't call home and do a ninja update on your firmware. They are forcing updates and you won't know it happened till you boot your machine next time and see it is running a new version of firmware.
