Re: Cura Settings for da Vinci Printers

Has anyone found a way to stop the rf chip from recording the filament used? I tried a print using Cura last night using third party filament and a xyz rf chip from a spool with almost no filament left. Once the rf chip read zero the print stopped even though there was plenty of filament left.

I am using a mini w with firmware 1.3.9

Hello, I have XYZ davinci 1.0 pro with system version 1.4.0 and Cura version 3.6.0 .
I've tried several configurations but there has always been something wrong.
I am looking for help finding the correct settings for Cura and specifically I mean StartG-code, EndG-code

I have XYZ DaVinci PRO 3v1, with system version 1.2.1. For sending the slice to printer I use XYZprint version 2.0.5.
For slicing in CURA 4.8.0 I have just successfully tested the following settings:

Start GCode:
G21 ; set units to millimeters
M107
M108
M191
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
G92 E0
M82 ; use absolute distances for extrusion
G92 E0

End GCode:
M104 S0; Set Hot-end to 0C (off)
M140 S0; Set bed to 0C (off)
G92 E0
M84     ; disable motors

Hope this helps you out.

Re: Cura Settings for da Vinci Printers

I just got a used Mini W+.  I've tried using these Cura settings.  The print head moves as normal, but there is no extrusion whatsoever.  Any guesses about what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Cura Settings for da Vinci Printers

So do these Cura settings mean the printer can work regardless of the info on the tags? I believe my da vinci mini w+ is still reading the tags and will not print if there is no tag or the tag reads 0m remaining on the spool. All of the settings are identical and I did manage to print off a Benchy but as I was printing another part the printer stopped with no warning. Nothing looked wrong but it will not start again, and the red light on the front of the printer turns on. No settings were changed and my computer stayed on during the print, and yet it still failed, and my best guess is it was updating the filament tag and once it hit 0, the printer stopped and appears to have bricked. Is there a way to tell Cura to ignore the tags, or is it already doing that and the issue is something else entirely?

Re: Cura Settings for da Vinci Printers

hello all I an trying to get away from the xyz software as well. I have an XYZ da vinci minimaker, and I am a bit new(returning from a few years ago) to this hobby and quite a bit of the information here has been helpful. I tried this setup and I ran into the same issue when using the "miniMover" software that is on this site with selfCad sliced g code.

Issue:
after the printer prints out the raft the actual print starts backwards from center (so not in the middle where it shows in the slicer). i let a small test print finish and it also "walked" the print to the left as it printed. I thought it was a g code issue before but now printing directly from cura I'm not sure.

Not all people in the world speak English as their native language, and therefore many mistakes are possible. I refuse to use the Google translator, because it only creates garbage and even more questions. (When I look at the company mails from XYZPrinting & Anycubic), I usually have to read the mails a dozen times to see what they mean (they probably use the Alibaba translator ;-)

We decided to meet up and "tried" to write in English in this forum. Every day I speak, German, Dutch, French, Italian and a very, very little English. My Latin is only what I learned at high school/university. At school we only had English as an elective language, but most students prefer spanish as a second language ;-) We learned and tried to speak Oxford English. When I visit the USA, it is difficult to understand the dialect you speak!
Probably in 25 years everyone here in europe will speak Mandarin as a second language, because one person has caused so much damage that everyone has lost interest in doing business with the USA.

The 2 largest speaking countries in the world, USA and UK, are both losing power in the global world because they have Harlequin as Prime Minister or President.

To reach the most people in the world we would have to speak Mandarin (more than 1 billion people) or Spanish (540 million)! English is only spoken by 360 million people.

Probably 1/3 of the people living in "your state of Texas" speak Spanish, so we need to be a little more tolerant. If you come to Europe, we have tried to communicate with you in English. We do not ask you if you want to speak classical Greek or Esperanto or the common European languages ;-)
Look at the Arabs, they will never speak your language! They can still do so because they have the stuff the world needs (oil). Everything else that the world needs, probably 50% comes from Asia, not from Europe or the USA. In 10 years China will produce more airplanes than Boeing and Airbus together!

I think a harlequin in Washington DC had a different opinion about this!
BTW: Enjoy your Independence Day today, it's probably his last as president ;-)

If that were only true.

Re: Cura Settings for da Vinci Printers

Hey, hopefully I can still get some help after all this time.

I have a Da Vinci Nano (not wireless). And I've tried to get it to work using CURA but im not big with programming or G-code.

can anyone help me troubleshoot? I've tried using the same G-code and settings that show up in earlier posts, but still nothing.

google and a few reddit threads say it should work atomaticly with the new printer updates but i updated the drivers and still nothing.
