Some discusion on thiniverse

Bottom line is looks like the chip can be reset with an android with Near Field Communications

Also  some folks convert to the generic/ OS RAMPS control board

The reason the XYZ products are so cheap they pretty much force you into buying there filament and that is where they expect to make there profit.
But as you say there are hacks.

Do you know if it will work in the Da Vinci Jr? Will I need to do a hack of some kind? Thanks

IMHO you may want to try some of the Raptor series PLA from Maker geeks. I have not tried it yet but looks impressive.  It is FDA approved , dishwasher safe and has similar tensile strength as aluminum. The specs are impressive and should work well for your application. itis about $ 37 a roll.

I got the 3D printer because when I ordered cookie cutters they were coming 3D printed I decided to take the plunge! Do any of your funky filaments like copper or stainless steel work with the Davinci Jr? The cookie cutters that we make with the PLA hold up ok but something a little stronger would be awesome. The good thing about it is if they get broken I can make another one in about an hour smile

We are a dog treat bakery with a tech name - we use the Da Vinci Jr to print custom cookie cutters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been doing ok but recently screwed up my guide tube
