Haha I would to see that they do, hopefully they will put customer over cost.

i'll let you know but it just shipped there Tuesday so im sure it will be two weeks at least.

Well, I believe when my Duo got "bricked" and I attempted to load Repetier firmware: it was never successful.
So therefore I was able to upload the stock firmware.

Right, and no that stock firmware is back on it, you can download the .91 bin of repetier firmware. Install the original version of XYZware the machine came with, then disconnect form the internet. Start xyz and select firmware update. It will give an error for no connection and then allow you to choose a file. Choose the .91 bin and let it update. Once that is done the machine will now be recognized by adruino and you can install the latest version of repetier.

The latest version of Repetier firmware supports the 2.0. You just have to set it in the configuration.h tab for your machine.

Yup, that's how I mine is set up.

Got it here - https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware

then followed this (scroll down) - https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92

SOLVED!
I downloaded the stock firmware here:
http://www.wctek.com/shop/files/F20_201 … ELEASE.zip
Put jumper 1 to flash then using Arduino bossac.exe typed this in command line:

bossac -e -w -v -b F20_20140626_FW_2A19_V2.0.J_RELEASE.bin

Now my printer boots with stock firmware and can print!
I wish there is a Repetier firmware in *.bin format that I can load for DaVinci 2.0

Is there a way to change the port number perhaps and get it to COM3 so the XYZWare will find it ???

Thinking maybe if that can be done you might be able to do the firmware update like you normally would....

just a thought

Not sure what your getting at but after flashing to custom firmware I believe XYZware can't see and use the printer, it would just be a Arduino Due in it's eyes.

This is correct. Once you flash to Repetier firmware you can no longer use the stock software/host. The machine is now fully open source and will work on any of the normal host such as Repetier Host, Cura Host, and Simplyfy3d.

The erase jumper wipes out the firmware and boots the machine in boot strap mode whete it is waiting to have a bin file burned to it.

I am at work so I dont have access to the link on loading from bootloader mode but if you cant find it by midnight I will post it when I get home around then.

Here is the link, follow these instructions to the letter and it should get you back to where you can use arduino.

I had issues at first and read somewhere to load the most recent version of Arduino to get the USB drivers. Once I installed that and shorted JP1, I was able to unplug the USB cable and reconnect it and it showed up as a Bossa Communications Port or something to that effect.

I have a question though and it's perhaps a bit late for me to go back to... but...

I noticed that during the process it shows up on COM5 for me everytime whereas I know that the XYZWare is looking on COM3 for the printer.... is there a way to change the port number perhaps and get it to COM3 so the XYZWare will find it ???

Have you tried selectively installing the arduino due driver by itself (the old one) from arduino's driver package?  When I was flashing it, my pc didn't see it until I did so, with the same problem as you have.

Ok reporting back.

I really have no idea what I am doing wrong but I have tried flashing my printer to as suggested to fix this but I for some reason can't get it to work. How do I know if I bricked it?

If bricked it wont show up in your device manager even after using the erase jumper.
