Topic: Gcode on DaVinci jr

Dose anyone know how to use the gcode files on Junior? or convert gcode files to 3w? Xyzware sucks.

Re: Gcode on DaVinci jr

on the da vinci 1.0 printers you can change the g-code header and encode it in base-64 then rename the extension to 3w, but I haven't had any luck with it because I don't know the paramters that the junior is expecting. The few times that I've tried, the junior complains that the file is not compatible with this printer.

Re: Gcode on DaVinci jr

Does the junior have an SD card that the file is uploaded to and then printed, or does it feed the data real time and the print will abort if you unplug the PC?

If it uses an SDcard like the 1.0 does then just pull the card and look at the header of the file called offline something.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Re: Gcode on DaVinci jr

same as e13Jimenez. I almost tried everything I can find on the internet. I even tried to open the 3w file with  notepad++. Nothing helpful. I can't find anything useful in my SDcard, no offline_print.gcode, no any gcode files. Now I'm trying to find the onboard SD card like this↓

Re: Gcode on DaVinci jr

advanced xyzware accepts gcode inputs, it also lets you see the gcode for previously created files. you can copy the header from a native file into a new file with custom gcode. I sliced some models in cura but i'm trying to work things out now. for some reason its start printing from 15mm above the print bed..

UPDATE: aparrently cura slices using some G0 commands and xyz firmware was not coded to use those, find and replace G0 with G1fixes the problem
