I have a da vinci 1.0, follow the instructions in the pdf to install the xYZware Pro e, but it does not update the firmware, download to try your luck the zip xyzdav_f11_upgrade.zip but it has a password and you cannot test the bin it contains.

any ideas?
thank you

I am generating gcode files in slic3r and cura for an xyz Davinci pro 1.0, then opening them in theXYZprint or XYZware proprietary program to send them to the printer.

The g-code on this site and others was great. Thank you.

I have got gcode working and the first 20mm of height prints perfectly, Then the printer stops printing at 20mm high and mark the job as finished. (attached image.)

The XYZprint program shows this partial print as being it's output, XYZware shows the whole file as being ready to print, then stops unexpectedly at the same layer.

Current version of XYZ software, Cura and Slic3r. (updates on all 3 run and installed, Windows machine as XYZ doesn't support Linux)

So, two questions if I may:

(1) Does anybody know the fix?  Is it a machine or software setting?
and

(2) Is there a way to go directly to the printer and bypass the XYZ interface as another solution.?

With thanks in advance.

Remember that you can't refill a tag and you need to disable internet to XYZ printing software. Because XYZware verify original tag database. You can search on forum special version of XYZware.

If you can get me a diagram of what pins we are trying to find or the name of them i would be happy to help. ive got the motherboard sitting here with a continuity tester right now. I found the document on the proc with all the pin info but im not exactly sure what you would be looking for on it

The pin is mapped.

Currently, only RepRapFirmware for duet wifi is opensource and support Jr. and mini CPU.

Read detail on here:

So... the Jr motherboard uses the Arm4 Cortex processor instead of the Arm3, but the code should be very compatible.  It seems to me that we can use the same tool chain, but update the signature check to look for the Arm4 (ATSAM4) instead of the ATSAM3.  As soon as I verify the boot pins, I'll try it.

vova_aryasov, did you short the two pins in the round mark to get it to reset?  My next step was going to trace the boot pins from the main chip to see if they were, but if you can confirm then I'll be one step closer.  I have a Jr just for educational purposes and if all else fails, I'll just drop in a printrboard to get it printing again, so I can experiment away on the main board... I have no plans on ever purchasing more closed filament for it.

We got the printer two weeks ago and so far I just print two models downloaded from XYZ gallery and one that I made an "H" on Sketchup to test supports and bridges. I found many interesting articles in here and on Slic3r documentation, but I didn't manage to get an functional .3w file converted from gcode.

I've created a simple box on sketchup just to test infill and layer height, but when I save gcode as .3w it didn't work.

This is the start of gcode

I replaced the first 7 lines with these lines below, save as test.3w with base64 encode, but XYZware don't open the file.

; filename = composition.3w
; machine = daVinciF10
; material = abs
; layer_height = 0.2
; total_layers = 173
; total_filament = 0.00
; extruder = 1

It's confusing because some people say the semicolon are important others says they aren't. I'm using PLA filament, must I change that? What about total_layers and total_filament, make any difference changing that? The filename must be the same as the 3w file (test.3w)?

I'm using Windows 8.1 and I'd rather not open the printer to get the SD card if not needed, because I don't want to lose the warranty.

let us know how it goes
