Da Vinci 1.0 Pro (Page 3 of 4)

oh ok I missed that part, but glad its working for you now!

Nice! I was thinking of making some sort of stand but this is much simpler.

I got my spools running now just ran out of the xyz filament that I will never order again.

added a spool holder too....and yes the slicer is far worse than their normal xxyz program. i print with a 5mm brim, and on at least 1 of the objects it runs over the same line like 3 times before it starts the rest of the brim

This is my first experience with a 3D printer and after the first couple half dozen successful prints out the box, the following prints seemed to have trouble sticking to the print bed as the filament would curl up on itself and just turn everything into spaghetti. So I've come to conclusion that my bed needed alignment. I used the paper method as suggested in the sticky on here and I feel like my bed is possibly bowed in a certain way that the front/right corner seems higher than all other areas of the bed. My extruder is too low in that corner when it prints the purge lines causing it to smear just a thin layer of the filament and making a noise due to the pinching of the nozzle against the bed. I'll have to play with the alignment some more today but I feel I've spend an insane about of time trying to get it right. Getting kind of frustrated at this point.

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.

has anyone had issue with their filament auto loader clicking during prints? its typically at beginning of a print, but sporadic throughout the print.

I was wondering that to... Never happened on my 2.0.  Noise at start then once in a while...

Leveled. The bed and it still does that... Checked with feeler gauge and it seems ok...still clicking on startup...?

I posted this in another topic but I think it is appropriate to repost it here:

I have found a way to use another slicer program.  It is the same as for previous versions by exporting gcode, adding a few lines to the beginning, encoding it in base64, then importing it back into xyzware for pro as a .3w file.  The key is changing the line that describes the machine.  Instead of "; machine = daVinciF10", put "; machine = daVinciAW10" for this new printer.  I successfully save a gcode file from Simplyfy3D and got xyzware for pro to send it to the printer.  The printer started to print but did not wait until the extruder or bed was heated so I have to make sure I have the proper gcode lines in the file for that. Refer to http://voltivo.com/forum/davinci-softwa … rty-slicer for more info on the process. Just remember to change the machine line otherwise xyzware for pro will say you have the wrong printer.

and the clicking sounds is from when the filament strips, ether to tight pulling on spool, or clogged nozzle

in setting I do see a printer option for XYZ Pro 3in1... I selected that one as well and no luck

Hi All,

I am using the DIY Rostock mini pro now, and I want a more accurate and easy to use and maintenance 3D printer.

Can anyone upload some testing print picture?
