XYZ Printing Da Vinci Jr (w) / Da Vinci Mini (w) Hacking (Page 28 of 31)

can I use a ntag213 and the android app to make new NFC tags for 3rd party filament? or do I have to order the

Im sort of an idiot. I just got a xyz jr w firmware ver 2.2.9 for 50$ off a family friend, no experience besides the half roll it came with. What are my options?I cant reset tags, but I could write new ones with my phone? How do I do that, where do I get the info to write to them?

Hello, i just bought a da vinci min w, the firmware is 1.2.3

after reading this treads i have see that the best way to use another fillament for my printer is to use nfc stickers.

I have few question about that:

This can work on my printer with my firmware ?
For writting the stickers i need a spécial item or can I do it with my android phone ?

Thank you guys and excuse my english

Buy NTAG 213 stickers from aliexpress or ebay from china for really cheap and use the android app for resetting tags and making tags to turn them into functional tags for the printer.

Despues de mirar mucho por internet descubri la guia de cgrillo, como escribir pagatinas de papel para la XYZ da vinci, y funcina perfectamente. Solo queria darle las gracias por su aportacion, Muchas, muchas gracias. Pensaba que estaba condenado de por vida a comprar filamento de XYZ, que me resultan muy caros, ya que uso la impresora bastante.

At this point the paper tags have worked on all firmware visions, but remember they can only be used one time. After it reaches zero it will no longer be able to be used in your printer. If you have on to it, sometime time after 100 different tags ids have been used. You will be able to used it again. The printer stores approximately 100 tags in an EEPROM is why this works this way. Also, if you check out some of the other threads someone has come up with a method of reverting back firmware.

Hi ,

Can confirm that , my paper 213 tags no longer works , cartridge not recognized in the new software ( firmware updated )

Any solution ?

Edit : Orange mini w

Edit 2 : Filament recognized in the old software still installed , print launched and worked...
I'll try with the nex soft, see if it works now ?...

Edit 3 : Well , it works now.... I don't quite understand why but hey , problem solved x)

I'm about to order third party filament.  The app allows set temperature 3 options (190, 200, 210).  Does this allow enough control to get good prints (what if optimum temp is 205 degrees)?  Is there a way to get a more discrete temperature setting?

The filament that XYZ sells is a special formula made just for them that melts at a lower temp then the standard formula does. So your mileage is going to very with third party PLA as it may or may not be able to get hot enough. It will never get hot enough to do ABS or PETG or any other material unless you get it's electronics and extruder and swap them for open source like E3D and RAMPS.

If optimum is 205 then 200 or 210 will work. The issue is that is the set temp the actual temp at the extruder nozzle. In most cases it is not due to the design. The actual temp is usually 5 to 10 degrees lower in the melt zone than what is reported at the display or to the controller.

I took the latest update by mistake, thinking it was a software update. It looks like the latest firmware blocked 300m rolls only, which were never for the jr. or mini.  If you're using paper tags, set your roll length and remaining length to 200m or less.

Unless there is something in the latest firmware you really like. You may want to consider taking a look at this thread http://www.soliforum.com/topic/17766/ho … -cartridge , it does work. I performed this on a dead board I bought and it brought the board back to life.
