Da Vinci 1.0A issues (Page 1 of 2)

It has only happened this one time. I designed it first time on tinkercad then remade it on fusion 360 and it did the same thing.

What is the best way to do that on here?

I found nothing wrong with the file. I ran it through a simulated print in Simplify3D and it ran fine. However that print is going to take 16 hours and it is not wise to leave a printer running that long unless you can be with it the entire time. . You may want to break it up and then glue it together. My guess is it is too large for XYZ to handle. Their slicer is garbage and freaks out on the tiniest things.

What is your infill percentage. I was testing st 100%.

I will try it on my CT'c with S3D and see what I get. After a few layers.

No I have not. As you can see in my signature I only have 3 printers and the CT'c would be the closest I have to that. The SLA works completely differently.

I let it run for several layers and it never did anything like what yours is doing so the file is not the issue. I would say your slicer just does not like that file. I took a pic but for some reason the forum won't let me post it right now. I will post later but o got about 3mm of the base done with no issues.

I appreciate the help guys. I’ll looking into reinstalling the program maybe that might help as a temporary fix.  I’m currently looking in getting the anycubic right now and using cura.

OK, Just share one of my wild guess. I think it is your wire harness issue with your Y axis motor. Check if your Y axis motor wire are connected securely and replace the wire if necessary. Da Vinci 1.0 wire harness is know to cause problem because it use wire that is not resistant to repeated bend.

If I guess it correct, your image is taking form the front, your hotend is dragged towards Y axis min by your filament. My speculation is your Y-axis motor is weak due to poor connection, every time it go to X min and Y max corner, or right toward door side corner, your filament spool drag back after pull to max tension. Normally if you Y-axis motor have enough torch, it will not go with it, but if y-axis motor cable also at max tension at this spot and if that is dragged loose or the cable connection is no good, it will become weak, your hotend will be dragged by filament.

The issue can seems to be fixed on its own but will come back at random time point, replace the wire harness will be more permanent solution. It can become more worse and you will get error 31 or something like that.

I know it is a wild guess based on limited information, but it doesn't hurt to test with multi-meters if you are confident with your skills.

Sorry about bad English, use your best guess if you are not sure what I meant to say.

He did say that this was the only model that did this. So that would exclude the machine as having any issues. Typically had it been on all models then having a 1.0 in the past I could tell you this would be caused by a bad endstop harness. As the machines sees each time that the endstop is triggered as a new homes position and starts from there. But since it only does this on this one file then the way the slicer is using the file is the issues and we all know that XYZ does not have good slicer on the 1.0 and 1.0A host.

I know it is a wild guess, but this model is positioned at extreme front right, which is unusual. And that's where the possible problem get triggered easily. if he print other model around the center, the problem may not be reproduced.

I don't think you can change X and Y dimensions or the start position in xyzware. All the settings are set for selected model, unless he use wrong printer model, there is little he can change.

What I meant is he put his problematic object in the corner that is easy to trigger the wire harness issue because filament and y-axis cable have max tension there. If he move the object to the center of print bed it will less likely to trigger the problem.
