Da vinci junior 3d printer

XYZprinting da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro Review

It's easy to imagine a 3D printer as something of a magic cube in which all sorts of wonders are created. The $449 XYZprinting da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro does its best to evoke this: a translucent-orange box that takes plastic filament and turns it into innumerable objects, practical and decorative by turn. This romanticized perspective of 3D printing, or some variation on it, doubtless runs through the heads of many of the newbies and students for whom the da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro is intended, and this moderately priced 3D printer delivers an experience that should capture the imagination of young users, while offering add-ons to help stave off obsolescence for more experienced ones. Only a balky filament-feeding system encountered in our testing prevents it from earning a top pick.

A Newbie-Friendly Focus

The da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro is a closed-frame 3D printer with a boxy shape, rounded corners, and angled top edges. In front is a door that swings upward, below which is an LCD for easy control of functions such as filament loading/unloading and setting the extruder the proper distance above the print bed (Z-axis alignment). The 1.0 A Pro’s closed frame reduces both noise and the potential for accidental burns from its hot extruder. Its primary supported kind of filament, polylactic acid (PLA), is easy to work and odorless. These factors make the da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro a good choice for 3D-printing beginners, (supervised) children, and classrooms.

The da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro combines elements from both XYZprinting’s Junior and Pro series. Junior models are customizable, supporting add-ons such as—in the case of the printer under review—a laser engraver module (a $200 option) and a hardened-steel nozzle extruder (see the image below) that supports printing with XYZprinting’s carbon-fiber filament as well as metallic PLA. (XYZprinting often sells the hardened-steel extruder as part of a bundle with the 1.0 A Pro, which costs little more than the printer alone). Both the aforementioned accessories were sent to us with our test unit.

The company also describes its Junior printers, geared to the classroom, as small enough to fit on a desktop. I suppose that depends on whether you need to use that desk for anything other than 3D printing; the 1.0 A Pro measures a sizable 15 by 16.5 by 16.9 inches.

The 1.0 A Pro’s jumbo frame does allow for a large build area (6.9 inches in each dimension). That is slightly larger than the XYZprinting da Vinci Mini’s 5.9 inches and considerably larger than the Monoprice Cadet (4.1 by 3.9 by 3.9 inches) and Polaroid PlaySmart 3D Printer (4.7 inches in all dimensions).

Like the printers in the Junior series, da Vinci Pro models support add-ons and also allow for the use of third-party filaments and software. The da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro is an upgraded version of the da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A. I had reviewed an even earlier model, the XYZprinting Da Vinci Jr. 1.0, in 2015, and the printer under review here is a marked improvement over it, with a larger build area and better software, among other advancements.

Care and Feeding of Filament (and Feeders)

After removing a copious supply of tape, clips, cardboard, and foam-rubber spacers—in place to prevent the 1.0 A Pro from being damaged in shipping—you install the XYZware suite of software, either from an included SD card or from XYZprinting’s website. (To run it, you will need to set up and log into a free account with XYZprinting.) Next, you will cover the print bed with a square sheet of what resembles masking tape. Objects adhere to the sheet during printing, yet they can be pulled off with a minimum of effort when printing is complete.

The trickiest part of the printer’s setup is in getting the filament to feed properly from the spool to the extruder. Much of this involves correctly seating the filament-feeding guide tube—a so-called "Bowden tube," whose inner diameter is just larger than a strand of 1.75mm filament—that runs from the top of the filament feeder into the extruder assembly. You have to jab one end of the tube into a small hole on top of the filament feeder, and the other end into the top of the extruder assembly.

To get the tube to stay in place required surprising force. It was helpful to press downward with the index and middle finger of my free hand on the sides of a tiny black gasket located on top of each hole while inserting the tube with the other hand. This was relatively easy to do for the extruder assembly, but harder for the less-accessible filament-feeder top. Even when the tube was in place, I learned to give it a gentle tug to make sure it was securely fashioned. (Left to its own devices, one end of the tube popped out a couple of times during printing, scuttling my print jobs.)

Once the feed tube is in place, you can add a filament spool to the spool holder located on the left side of the printer’s interior. You then feed the free end of the filament into the bottom of the filament feeder, pressing down on a lever to clear its path upward into the guide tube. You can then run the loading routine from the printer’s LCD, in which the extruder is heated up, and the filament gets pushed through the guide tube into the extruder.

The print bed is unheated, limiting the filament types that the 1.0 A Pro will support. XYZprinting sells 600g filament spools of standard PLA for $22.95, carbon-fiber ones for $29.95, and metallic PLA for $34.95. (The latter two require the hardened-steel extruder nozzle.)

You can use compatible third-party filaments, though they lack the RFID chip of XYZprinting's own spools, and you'll have to enter some settings in the software. You can also use larger filament spools, though you'd have to print your own external spool holder to support them.

Connectivity and Software

Connectivity is twofold. For standalone printing, you can process a file and save it to an SD card, which you then insert into the printer’s card slot. You can then view the files on the SD card on the LCD and access the one you wish to print. Alternatively, you can connect the da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro to a computer via an included USB cable. I did all of my printing over a USB connection, first loading a file in XYZware’s XYZprint program, processing (resizing, and so on) the object to be printed, which you can monitor on a representation of the build plate onscreen.

You then "slice" the file (the software breaks it into layers for printing), choose the type of filament to print with, and launch the print. XYZprint is adequate, although it lacks the range of settings found in the open-source program Cura(Opens in a new window), which many 3D printer manufacturers use as the basis of their software. Although Cura isn't included with the da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro, you can print files created in Cura and saved to SD card on the printer.

The nine test prints I completed showed average overall print quality. The only misprints were from two cases in which the feed tube became detached from the filament feeder as described above. I did eight of the prints at Normal (200-micron) resolution, and one at High Detail (100-micron). I noted a slight improvement at the latter resolution, but not enough to warrant the extra time consumed in high-resolution printing, except in cases where the best print quality is paramount.

The da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro did well with a test object in which a variety of geometric shapes, as well as raised text, are printed at a steep angle—nearly all of the shapes were well formed. A couple of test prints looked a bit rough-hewn, with obvious layering, but most looked decent.

Verdict: Good for Beginners

The biggest selling point for the da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro is its spacious build volume, which allows users to print considerably larger objects than they can with most open-frame budget 3D printers. (A related downside is that this makes it larger than many competitors.) The difficulty in securing the filament feed tube was an annoyance, but once firmly in place, it should stay secured (except, perhaps, if you get the hardened-steel nozzle and frequently change extruders).

On the whole, though, the XYZprinting da Vinci Jr. 1.0 A Pro’s closed frame and its PLA-centric bent are ideal for newcomers (either at home or in a classroom), while it offers enough versatility and accessories to keep intermediate users happy.

Review: da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix 3D printer produces good quality, multi-colored objects

Review

XYZprinting still needs to consider a heated print platform for better model adhesion.

By Lucas Mearian

Senior Reporter, Computerworld |

Lucas Mearian/IDG

XYZprinting has led the way in low-cost 3D printers by offering a variety of models that undercut higher-priced machines with similar capabilities. There are machines that print using using liquid resin (stereolithography) and professional-grade machines for rapid prototyping.

Typically, XYZprinting's machines fall short on producing high quality builds, but the resolution and accuracy of their models are more than proportionate to the cost of the printers.

The company's latest 3D printer, the da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix, allows makers to print with two different colored filaments at the same time -- once again demonstrating XYZprinting's ability to offer special capabilities with a desktop printer at cut-rate pricing.

At $450 (Amazon price), the da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix carries a hefty price premium over its predecessor -- the da Vinci Jr. 1.0, which retails for $200 (Amazon price). In the overall scheme of things, however, XYZprinting's machines are far less expensive than most 3D printers of comparable functionality.

For example, I recently reviewed the Ultimaker 3, a machine from Dutch 3D printer company Ultimaker BV that is highly rated by the user community. The Ultimaker 3 also has dual extruder capability, though it cannot mix colors because it prints from two separate heads. While I found the machine's resolution to be outstanding, it was problematic both in its ability to print multiple colors and its automatic leveling feature. At $3,495, the Ultimaker 3 is also vastly more expensive.

Separate layers or mixed colors

The da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix uses a new dual-feed system to send two filaments to a single extruder module to create a print that either gradually changes color, creates separate layers of two colors or mixes two colors to create a third one.The filament meets at the tip, extruding and retracting when necessary based on the settings in XYZware slicer software.

Using that software, users can experiment with different filament color types and can choose from Multicolor Mode or Mixer Mode.

Multicolor Mode allows users to choose two colors with which to print and the software then proportionally mixes them in varying tones.

IDG/Lucas Mearian

A Pokemon-style chess piece printed using XYZware's "Mixer Mode," which allows makers to change colors throughout the model.

Mixer Mode splits color blocks according to height, with each block containing a single color or a set of graduated color blocks. In other words, you can print using two distinct colors or print a gradient between the colors to create a third color, such as using blue and yellow to produce green. XYZprinting offers five different colors and one transparent PLA filament with which to print (the printer only uses PLA filaments).

The Mix is a substantial machine measuring 16.54 x 16.93 x 14.96 in. While at 37.47 lbs. it's not heavy, it will eat a good amount of desktop space.

It has a maximum build volume of 5.9 in. x 5.9 in. x 5.9 in., relatively typical of desktop printers.

IDG/Lucas Mearian

The pendant heart displayed how gradually the da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix adds in a second color, i. e., the transparent filament at its center.

The printer has a resolution of .2 millimeters, or 200 microns, which is respectable though not remarkable. As with other XYZprinting 3D machines, the Mix comes with a 2.6-in. LED screen and cursor pad that allows you to browse a menu of commands, from loading and unloading filament to printing from the SD card.

Getting this printer up and running, however, is extremely simple and shouldn't take anyone more than 15 to 20 minutes.

One attribute I like about the da Vinci Jr. 3D printer lineup is that it employs a 9-point automatic calibration detection system that accurately determines the distance between the extruder and the print bed. This ensures that you can start printing right away without any manual calibration, as is required even in some more expensive 3D printers.

Printing

For my first job, I used XYZprinting's included SD card to print a preloaded model that used the Mixer Mode. The model, a 2-in.-wide, 0. 5-in.-high heart pendant, printed without issue and with decent resolution. The pendant went from a dark green gradient at its base to transparent at its center, which was a nice effect. The pendant was estimated by the printer to take 43 minutes to print. It printed in 35 minutes -- a pleasant surprise.

IDG/Lucas Mearian

The 5.5-in. tall model of the Eiffel Tower against the backdrop of the XYZware software used to slice it prior to printing. On the right side of the laptop screen you can see how the slicer software allows makers to mix filament colors.

Next, I printed a Pokemon-style chess piece that contained some pretty good detail. The piece was estimated to take 38 minutes but took 48 minutes. Using XYZware, I chose to start the chess piece with a transparent filament and gradually increase the color to green at the top. It printed with good accuracy but average resolution.

Next came my benchmark test for every 3D printer: the Eiffel Tower. The model is roughly 5. 5-in. tall with a 2.25-in. base. It's a difficult test for any 3D printer to accomplish.

IDG/Lucas Mearian

A closer look at the Eiffel Tower build.

This time, however, I was printing the tower with two filaments at the same time: Green filament at the base that was set up to gradually transform to blue at the top. Curiously, the XYZware software reversed that process and printed with blue at the bottom and green at the top. No matter -- the model came out as a decent representation of the Eiffel Tower. Upon closer inspection, the lattice work was muddled, likely due to the average resolution capability of the printer. However, a railing around a pedestrian crosswalk -- one of the more difficult elements to replicate on a 3D printer -- came out with impressive accuracy. The Eiffel Tower took roughly four hours to print.

By comparison, a Makerbot Replicator+ 3D printer, which sells for $2,499 (Amazon price) took five hours to print a 6.5-in. version of the Eiffel Tower. (Note that the Replicator+ has a larger build area, and therefore was able to print a taller tower.)

All in all, the XYZprinting da Vinci Jr. Mix was successful at printing a difficult object, and more importantly, did it on a system that costs one-fifth that of Makerbot's machine and with two different colored filaments.

After experiencing the problems with getting the color settings in the XYZware right, I contacted XYZprinting and they suggested downloading a fresh version of their slicer software. I did that, and the very next model I printed -- another Pokemon chess piece -- came out with the correct color mix.

Lastly, I attempted to print a two-piece model of a Smurf figurine. The figurine should have measured about 3 in. high and the two pieces should have had two separate colors (red and blue). Unfortunately, I had adhesion issues and one part of the model detached, ending the print job for the upper half of the model; the lower half, however, printed successfully.

Adhesion problems

Speaking of adhesion: One shortcoming of the lower-end da Vinci 3D printers is their print beds, which are not heated. Heated print beds enable the plastic object being printed on them to adhere better. In the absence of a heated print bed, XYZprinting suggests that users cover the surface with masking tape for better adhesion (they supply three square sheets of masking tape for starters).

As with other XYZprinting machines, however, masking tape alone doesn't solve the adhesion issue. My first attempt at an Eiffel Tower print failed because it detached a few minutes into the job.

XYZprinting also recommends you slather the masking-taped surface with a glue stick to increase adhesion. With all that, some models still tend to break away during a print, which is disappointing when a job is nearing completion after hours of printing. In one case, a model adhered too tightly and ended up taking masking tape with it when I detached it. But using the correct combination of tape and glue does tend to solve the adhesion issue in most cases.

One other annoyance is the way the 3D printer loads and unloads filament. You have to do both spindles at the same time. It would be better to be able to load or unload one or the other.

Lastly, in terms of loading .STL model files into the XYZware slicing software, every single time I did it I received a pop-up telling me there was a problem found with the model and would I like to use "auto repair." It was a minor inconvenience as the auto repair function did seem to fix whatever issue was present with every model I printed.

Bottom line

XYZprinting's da Vinci Jr. Mix is a low-cost, 3D printer suited for beginner and intermediate makers. The quality of this machine for the price is outstanding. Will you be making accurate prototypes for developing new products for your corporation? No. But, can you enjoy being creative in playing with various color plastics to make objects that few other machines can produce for the cost of this machine? Yes.

I don't often recommend desktop 3D printers because they either fail in the execution of a job or they downright fail to live up to printing high-quality models based on the high price of the machine.

With that said, I can recommend the da Vinci Jr. Mix based on its ability to accurately create highly detailed print jobs with decent results, and perform those print jobs in multiple colors.

The earliest recording of the technology was made in 1981 by Japanese inventor Hideo Kodama. The scientist made a bet on a product in which additive technology was used to create solid polymers. The printing technology was based on early stereolithography (SLA) processes.

Since then, 3D printing technology has accelerated at a fantastic rate, and new printing technologies have been invented. Some of these include Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Selective Layer Sintering (SLS). Consequently, the technology has become cheaper for beginners.

The best 3D printer for beginners should be documented, easy to build and use, and should produce excellent print quality. Many people who choose to 3D print are experiencing this technology for the first time. They need a smooth learning curve to pick up good production habits early enough.
