But when I send to the printer via USB the mini's LED becomes red and it won't print. S3D will also keep saying: starting build.

Any idea what is causing this?

The issue I am running into, is that the fan always seems to run on the first layer regardless of what I set, but I have had successful prints so far.

Ok i Buy it
There are setting in s3d for the mini...
Gut the s3d any options to Load Filament?

You load filament through the LCD controls on the printer. Again that is not a function of the host, but the printer.

As for alternative filaments the host which is what Simplify3d is will have no control of that The NFC confirmation is done at a Firmware level. The only way around is to edit the tags as they do with the Jr. Or gut the machine and convert it to Ramps 1.4 or other controller of choice.

I had asked the folks at Simplify3D if their software worked with the XYZ Da Vinci miniMaker and if their software would allow us to use generic PLA filament and not XYZ’s proprietary filament since the XYZware checks for their filament before printing. I could never get them to give me an answer.

First reply:

Hi Bob,

We actually have this exact same printer in our office that we have used with Simplify3D many times, so it is definitely supported. If you want advice about what exact settings to use, please let me know after you purchase and I can send you a copy of my latest settings.

When I asked again about the alternate filaments, this was their reply:

Hi Bob,

I know we have many users who use alternate filaments on the machine, but I'm sure it can depend on the specific firmware version you are using as well. It may be best to ask other XYZ users to see what modifications were required to run alternate filaments with the machine, as I know we have many users who have done exactly this.

~Simplify3D Support

Is anyone using Simplify3D software and if so do we have the same restrictions with this software? If I knew it would work without the NFC tag check I would spend the $149.

I Buy it now .. first .. the WOW effect .. very Smooth and nice ... Program ..
But where i can find the Mini w Settings .. log me in and find only the Davinci Jr

Thanks, that what I wanted to know without having to spend $149.

It auto arranged your print to fit the bed etc.

The filament check has NOTHING to do with the software you are using though. thats all checked on the printer its self.
