XYZ Da Vinci 1.0a 3rd party filament problems - 3D Printers - Talk Manufacturing

Hello all, I recently purchased a Da Vinci 1.0a. I bought it even knowing that the printer requires u buy xyz filament. I researched and found out that I could use a cartridge resetter to be able to use 3rd party filament. I tried that but noticed that on some PLA the temperatures vary. Without being able to change temperatures, my extruder kept clogging and jamming while trying to print. I did a little more research and read about flashing the printer and installing repetier firmware. As I did a little more research I read that simplify 3d sofware can increase the extruder and bed temperatures to whatever you need. I bought the program and started using it. The unit starts to print great but about half way thru my print the extruder get clogged and jammed again. It has done this with every 3rd party PLA filament I have. Any suggestions or settings that I have to change or hardware I need to install? Do I need to change the nozzle? Ur feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Cant use PLA with stock da vinci. I modified mine to print PLA.

I haven’t tried printing with PLA. It is possible. I imagine you’d have to upgrade the extruder which is possible. Someone out there has done it. Play around with the heat temps, up or down might stop the clogging. I am not experienced with PLA as of yet. I also have run into 80% of the problems you will run into on this machine and I have that in video form if you like. Also I would be happy to talk to you about the machine when you have a question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKGTA4lcAy0

I have found that the flashing of the cartridge has worked. I had the same problem with the head clogging and the filament stripping in the gears. I found that the less tension there is on the filament the better (meaning I place the filament spool directly above the printer. Also I print with Matter hackers PLA-PHA. I have not had a lot of jamming issues. Give it a try. I found that basically the best way to prevent jamming is to print at medium speed and make sure the filament is not being “pulled” much.

Why not just add cooling? You guys are making this way harder than it should be. Also if you really want to have 0 issues, youll need a different extruder. The best one for the da vinci is the E3DV6 mod. If you don’t want to do that, then I suggest getting a new printer or sticking with ABS.

XYZ’s Da Vinci 3D Printer Jailbroken

0Shares

Last week Michael wrote a very interesting piece about the multibillion dollar question on everyone’s mind: how to deal with IP protection in the age of downloadable objects. The issue is also relevant when it comes to commercial 3D printers and their proprietary 3D printing firmware. We have had word from Oliver Fueckert that the – previously closed – platform of the XYZ Da Vinci 3D Printer has been “jailbroken” to run on the open source Repetier software.

For the Taiwanese company if may be a bit of a setback, as its business model is based on the sale of low priced 3D printing hardware (the Da Vinci starts at $499), along with proprietary filament. The filament is supplied in an enclosed proprietary spool, to “ensure standards of quality” and does not exactly come cheap at $28 per 600 gram spool (which comes in at about $46.5 per Kg).

According to Voltivo blog administrator Oliver Fueckert, however, “the limitations of [XYZ’s] proprietary software were just too big not to tempt people to adapt open source firmware to gain greater control over slicing and printing.

The process of making Repetier Firmware run on the Da Vinci was not easy (though probably quite a bit easier than jailbreaking the iPhone). As user BGM, one of the two credited with the hack, put it, he “got the Repetier FW running on the printer. The LCD, buttons, SD card, buzzer, fan, USB serial, and XYZ motors/end stops are working. The thermal readings are way off, so that’s the next thing to address.” He added he would release the code once he could get something printed.”

He did, finally, get something printed and you can check out how the test cube came out in the video below. This also means that using third party filament on the Da Vinci is possible and, more importantly, as Fueckert points out: “making consumer 3D printers with closed firmware is not a great idea.”

It will be interesting to see what large companies such as MakerBot and 3D Systems will think about the issue, as they prepare to conquer the consumer segment. In my own personal opinion it seems likely that hi-tech consumer product manufacturers will continue to release close proprietary products and programmer/hacker communities will continue to jailbreak them to get the most out of them. It happened with computers and gaming consoles and it will continue to happen with 3D printers, though implications will undeniably be more profound in the long run.

The unique feature of the XYZprinting da Vinci Color 3D printer is that it is the first in the world to use full color 3D printing technology. The use of the CMYK inkjet printing system makes it possible to print 3D models in millions of different shades. nine0003

The principle of operation is that PLA filaments absorb ink from CMYK inkjet cartridges, while there are no restrictions on color mixing. At the same time, ready-made models are absolutely not afraid of water. In addition, da Vinci Color is equipped with an automatic calibration system and a low-filament sensor, which makes it possible to monitor the remaining material, stopping or resuming the printing process at any time.


  • The touch screen will allow you to monitor the printer settings and the printing process. nine0042
  • The construction area has a rather impressive volume - 200 x 200 x 150 mm. And the print speed reaches 180 mm/s.
  • The magnetic print bed can be easily removed for easier removal of the model from the bed.
  • Use the software and mobile app to prepare and send jobs to the printer via Wifi, USB, or SD card.
  • In addition to the low filament sensor, an NFC chip is integrated into the XYZPrinting cartridges, which also allows you to track the stock of material, and at the same time transmit data on the material profile setting to the printer. nine0042

*An optional Open Smart Tag chip can be purchased to adapt the printer to third-party plastics.

Samsung IoT Security News - ARTIK IoT Security Modules, SmartThings Cloud and Secure Element

Samsung has made several announcements in IoT, especially in IoT security. Firstly, the Samsung ARTIK 053, ARTIK 530 and ARTIK 710 modules received the “s” version, which stands for “strong protection”, also now the new ARTIK 055s module and all other ARTIK modules can work with the cloud SmartThings Cloud, combining the company's existing services - ARTIK Cloud and Samsung Connect Cloud - into one single IoT platform.

Separately, the company announced its Secure Element solution, which integrates eFlash memory and new security software.

Samsung ARTIK “s” & ARTIK 055s modules

The company explains in its blog that the ARTIK 053s, 530s, 710s and all new modules, including the 055s, will feature “improved security, unified cloud service and network service security with “ARTIK’s security has been improved to the end, providing greater protection for IoT data, as well as preventing hacking. ” nine0003

A little more specifics from the press release:

ARTIK secure IoT modules provide secure data transfer from the device to the cloud with a unique identifier and factory-set keys stored in tamper-proof hardware. Customers can use the new Secure Boot feature and code portal to authenticate software on boot. In addition, secure IoT modules provide hardware-based security and a secure execution environment (TEE) with a secure operating system and secure library to process, store, and manage sensitive resources, including tokens and keys, on the device. Information is protected using FIPS 140-2 data encryption and secure data storage. nine0003

Below is a brief description of the product, which will help you better understand what has changed in the "s" versions.

So it turns out that the modules were previously protected by “Secure Element”, now the company has added more KMS and provided secure boot support for “secure boot” for “s” versions, as well as TEE for more powerful ARTIK 530 modules and 710s. The company says it won't raise the price for (more) secure modules.

The Samsung ARTIK 055s Smart IoT module (pictured at the very beginning) is similar to the ARTIK 053(s), but it is quite small and operates at 3.3V instead of 5-12V. in bold showing differences from ARTIK 053:

  • Microcontroller - 32-bit ARM Cortex R4 @ 320 MHz with 1280 KB RAM for general use and 128 KB for IPC global data
  • Built-in memory - 8 MB flash
  • Communication - 802.11 b/g/n WiFi @ 2.4 GHz
  • Expansion – 29 dedicated GPIO ports, 2x SPI, 4x UART (2-pin), 4x ADC, 1x JTAG, 2x I2C
  • Security - AES/DES/TDES, SHA-1/SHA-2, PKA (Public Key Accelerator), PRNG/DTRNG (Random Number Generators), Secure Key Storage, Physically Uncloneable Function (PUF)
  • Power supply - 3.3 V DC input voltage
  • Dimensions - 26 x 15 x 3 mm
  • Operating Temperature -20 to 85°C
  • Certifications - FCC (USA), IC (Canada), CE (Europe), KC (Korea), SRRC (China)

Documents do not state any hardware security differences, but Tizen RT OS adds secure firmware and JTAG security for 055s and 053s.
