Topic: Using Slic3r with the Da Vinci 2.0?

What does it takesto use Slic3r with the 2.0?

What has to be changed from the settings for the Da Vinci 1.0, (i.e. start/end gcode, bedsize obviously, speeds, temp, etc)?
Is it still the same process for printing, do I need to modify any firmware (model>Slic3r>Notepad++>XYZware>printer)?

If you could let me know before I start experimenting that would be great.

Re: Using Slic3r with the Da Vinci 2.0?

I have the same question. I've almost managed to change the settings from 1.0 to 2.0, but failed miserably in the end. The final  .3w file converted with notepad++ was imported into XYZware correctly and the soft recognised 2.0 printer. Unfortunately, I've received message, that 0,00m of filament will be used, DaVinci made some pre-build moves and then it freezed.

I desperately need to use another slicing soft, because XYZware is raping my geometry without a lubricant. sad

This service has fixed all my problems with XYZ slicer. Maybe you should try it - it's possible you won't need Slic3r anymore.
