Browning,

I am ordering the new nozzle assembly tomorrow is there any chance of you posting photos of how you have your head? Just so I can get it set up quickly


Would be appreciated

Thanks

Browning I have just noticed on that Carriage I printed what do you do about the tab what lets the machine know its at home?? It doesn't seem to have one but the one on my machine does?

I use a small piece of electrical tape. It doesn't have it so that you can print it easier. I haven't had any trouble with the electrical tape, though some people recommend modeling up a small flag and using acetone to stick it on.

Right okay at least I have everything which I think I need on this post now smile

Ive set my printer up so I can print off the SD card eventually I think my issue was is that I was running on the newest XYZ firmware on it so downgraded and it works now.

Right okay so everything electronics is basically unplug the old and swap with the new?

You got it! One thing that is different I guess is that the e3d fan is 12v versus 5 so you have to route it to the red and yellow 12v wires on the board

Okay mate

What else would I have to do to hardware like would I need to make a new Z value or would you just adjust the bed to suit it??

Sorry about all the questions just want all the answers for reference when I get the new nozzle next week

Cheers

You should be able to just adjust the bed to account for any change in height. hardware wise just get yourself a bunch of m3 screws they are used for pretty much everything on the davinci.

Browning,

I have the STL file for the carriage  (thing:594392)

From this would I have to move over to repitier on the firmware and software?

And yeah kev but it has people talking about all sorts and its confusing me so thought I would start a new thread... may help others

That is the carraige I am using. It is for sure possible to use that with stock firmware, but I would highly suggest to move to repetier. I am on .91 alpha which is super simple to install (less than 15 min)

1. If you are on firmware other than J (1.2.3 and higher) then you will need to downgrade using WCTEK downgrade zip found here:

http://www.wctek.com/shop/content/9-downloads

2. Download the .91 alpha reptier bin found here:

https://github.com/bgm370/dav10/blob/ma … inci10.bin

3. Install Xyz ware 1.0.0.23 or older and firewall it or just disconect from the web

http://voltivo.com/forum/davinci-softwa … repository

4. Now go into XYZ ware and click info ( i think) click update firmware and it will say disconnected from the web, click okay and it will bring up a "open document window" select the .91 alpha '.bin' file click okay and it should flash your printer to repetier!

Right guys

Would you recommend any nozzles which I could change from the stock one? Preferably one which I can change the tip size on to play around with it??

Also is it hard to do??

Thanks smile

Well I am a E3D V6 guy myself, know them and love them. I am sure carl and some other people will be in here telling you about the Pico and what not, but I have no experience with them so all I can give you advice on is the E3D. Personally since you are from the UK I would go with them since they are local to you.... Just saying.

As far as hard to do that is a really relative question. For me it is ridiculously simple (less than a day to get the E3D running from scratch), but I am also a mechanical engineer soooo..... It's all about perspective. If you are a handy guy then I say yes its easy and go for it!


There's so many different ones on there website there cheap also smile would I just need the hot end or the full kit to convert? also what would I need to adapt on my printer to make it fit? Have you got any pictures of yours installed which I could have a look please?

12v Bowden full kit with either 1.75 mm or 3 mm filament if you want
