A new version of xyzware for pro is out and it has the following new features:

Version: 1.1.4.1
New features and improvements:
 XYZware for Pro supports importing G-code format files created by Cura & Slic3r.
 Improved the quality of thin thickness objects print.
 Shortened the time of 3w format files creating.

I tried importing from Simplify3D and the program dies. It imports from Slic3r fine. A bit of a bump with Simplify3D but a big step in the right direction!

Hi reznor9

Actually doesn't work, but there are some advanced tips for 1.0 version that you can adjust to 1.0 pro.

If you take a look some posts before you can see how to do that.

Here it's working very well, except that there is no progress or temperature info on the LCD screen.

Thanks

I would love to use this spool holder too, i have the issue where new spools like to lag and then wrap around the core and get stuck.

Here's an image of the spool holder I designed and made for the Pro. It fits in the "U" entrance opening for filament thus does not interfere with opening the top. I'd post a picture of it but it's in a 2 gallon jar at the moment taking an acetone vapor bath. The guide for the filament serves to help prevent the filament from being pulled off the side of the spool and then wrapping around the shaft.

The way I force the bed to a lower position is to start a sample print, then cancel it. Then it will lower the bed to remove the part.

I have a spool holder stl that I got from a site (The big one), but I haven't printed it yet to test. I will if it works i'll let you know, and send you the stl file.

I have two answers about daVinci 1.0 pro:
- is there a way to force the bed in lower position (as it is after an ednprint) to make cleaning and bed setup easier? I only found manual z movement but it's long and unusefull.
- can anyone who made a tested spool holder kindly post the stl?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Nobber, I'm using the S3D and your tips works fine here, just need to figure out how to solve the LCD display problems but this is not a big issue.
Thanks guys, S3D is muchhhhhh better than XYZware for pro.

You're using S3D with the Da Vinci Pro? I thought it wasn't yet compatible?

Thanks but not yet, I have to re-position that hole the filament goes through. In use it causes to tight of an angle coming out that that hole and also into the feeder servo hole. It made it harder for the feeder servo to move the filament. I'll see if I can make some progress on it this week or on the weekend.

I really like this, do you have this on Thingiverse or can you provide the .stl file?

Well I just created my first gcode file using Slic3r. Added the da Vinci headers for the Pro, MIME encoded it, named it .3w and XYZware for Pro opened it and displayed it just fine.

Still need to make some changes to the object before I print it though so won't be trying to print it till tomorrow.

But in my first attempt Slic3r cut off the top of the object. Hunted around for a bed height parameter and the only thing I could find was one for extruder clearance height. It was set to 20 which looked about right for how much was cut off the top but it wouldn't let me set it to 0 so I set it to 0.01. Created new gcode did all the steps again and opened it in XYZware for Pro and the object was fine this time.

I used slic3r the other day to do a print and it came out half as bad as xyzware for pro. I wasn't impressed at all. just wish xyzware would let u choose where to put support material and fist layer options.

This may be a well know fact but I just stumbled on it recently looking at how XYZware operates on my Macbook. It appears that the slicer that XYZprinting's XYZware is using on OS X is Slic3r. They renamed it and my guess would be made modifications to it too.

I like simplify but, Repetier Host is free and many folks like it, too.

You can read other posts about both and check out their site...

It's been a long time since using xyzware but, looking at my notes and Gcodes, the 1.0A with xyzware had an 'Import' button to load YourFile.gcode with their header and did not need to base64 it (plain english text worked fine for me. In fact, their gcodes on the sdcard (the machnine came with them) is/was such...
