Davinci 1.0 aio manual download pdf

On the right is the resulting 3D image. As you can see, appendages and other details were not captured by the scanner. An attempt to print a model of the Eifel Tower failed miserably.

It started out with four legs and deteriorated into a twisted mesh of material higher up to the spire. The 3D scanner also cannot capture appendages thinner than two-inches in diameter, severely limiting what you can recreate on this machine. To be fair, XYZprinting's user guide does explain that there are limitations to what the scanner can pick up, including fuzzy objects or ones with fine spikes, objects with deep holes and shiny surfaces.

The sheen reflects the red laser back at the camera, fouling the image. This can be frustrating for a user who is attempting to get a scan completed by adding, say, corn starch to the outside of a shiny object to take off the plastic or metal sheen. Even after attempting to dull the sheen, the scanner wouldn't pick up the object.

What I found most disconcerting was that even non-shiny objects larger than two inches in diameter with thick appendages also didn't scan properly. For example, I attempted to scan a six-inch tall replica of Rodin's "The Thinker", but only a sliver of the object would appear in the virtual view. I made several attempts to scan it, and the printer simply could not capture the statue's outline.

Next, I turned off the "auto" scanner setting and instead adjusted it for "dark" and "light" specific objects, but that also had no affect on improving the quality of the scan. I attempted recalibrating the 3D scanner several times with a handy checkered plate that the company provides, but it didn't affect the outcome of previously unsuccessful scans.

The odd thing is that as the lasers scanned an object, it appeared to be capturing most of the details in XZYware CAD software screen. But the resulting virtual 3D image didn't include those details. So this may be a software rather than an optics issue. I spoke with an XYZprinting technician who was helpful in resolving some of the issues I ran into.

For shiny objects, the instruction manual recommends powdering them with cornstarch a messy prospect at best ; the technician recommended a low-tech solution - buy a can of Plasti Dip Spray. The latex spray gives objects a white matt surface that the scanner can pick up, thereby solving any sheen issues. You can peel the latex off the object when you're done scanning it, but be prepared to spend a long time peeling as that stuff gets into every nook and cranny. The laser scanner has a tendency to lock onto a single color, whether dark or light.

If the object you are scanning has stark color contrasts, the scanner will often lock onto one and misinterpret the others causing malformations. I tried this trick and it worked. Additionally, if a scan misinterprets the shape of an object, users can save the scan and bring it up in a third-party computer-aided design CAD application such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD and manipulate it until the shape is accurate.

The file can then be re-uploaded and printed. One of the issues I ran into over and over was a "printer is busy" message. This occurred after running a scanning job that did not successfully capture an object. I would delete the image, but the printer would remain inaccessible, telling me that I needed to wait until after the printer finished the current task. It was either that, or my computer would throw up a "device not found" message.

It turned out that the printer had to be reset after each use; you simply had to return the menu to the home page. Another software issue I continued to experience was an "out of boundaries and resize" message that alerted me that an object I was attempting to print from a downloaded file was too large or needed to be moved to a different location on the print bed.

The problem: You cannot resize or reposition an virtual object isn't there in the first place. The printer's estimated time, displayed on the front LCD, is way off, however. For example, a large job was estimated to take 19 hours turned out to need just The printer also worked reliably, and I didn't run into any fail prints at all. However it did take much longer time than the DeeGreen to initiate a print job. The initiation process includes heating up the nozzle and print platform another five minutes or so , and moving the platform to the start position.

The platform moves incredibly slowly, taking as much as half a minute to travel slightly less than 9 inches. Note that while the you can print only from a computer not from an SD card , once a print job has been sent to the printer, which takes just a few minutes, even with a very large object, you can safely disconnect the computer and the printer will take care of the rest.

In terms of consumables, there's a lot less you can print out of the Da Vinci's cartridge than the DeeGreen's spool of filament. This is partly because a XYZPrinting cartridge only holds 1. However, it could also be that cartridge's sensor doesn't gauge the level of filament remaining correctly.

In my testing, when the cartridge was reported empty, I opened it and there was still a relatively large amount of filament left. That said, you can still print many objects, including large ones, out of one cartridge.

As a scanner, the Da Vinci also worked very well. Overall, the scanned object has the same physical size as the original. In terms of details, however, this depends. Objects with smooth surfaces tended to be more precisely scanned than those with lots of details, angles or rough surfaces. This is also true with larger objects versus smaller ones. In all, I'd say the accuracy is in the range of 90 to 99 percent.

It does make noise, however, which sounds vaguely like someone practicing the saxophone but trying to muffle the sound at the same time. The Da Vinci 1. Then there's the fact that it's also a 3D scanner. And finally, both of its scanning and printing functions worked very well, right out of the box. The machine is not perfect, however. My biggest concern is the fact that it uses proprietary consumables that are not only more expensive than those of other printers, but will also potentially produce a lot of trash.

If you can live with those factors, however, this is the best deal when it comes to 3D printing, for now. Dong Ngo. XYZprinting Da Vinci 1. Pricing Not Available. The machine has large print platform, it's ready to use right out of the box, and it's priced much lower than competing devices. The machine uses XYZprinting proprietary consumables, and you can't swap filaments during a print job. Its print-platform is not removable, making it hard to clean. View code. Da Vinci Firmware based on Repetier 0.

Implemented How to test Watchdog? Current menu not up to date : Donation:. AiO scanner support is present in FW but scanner software support is currently basic, horus is a good candidat, feel free to help here The board can be easily exposed by removing the back panel of the printer secured by two torx screws.

Here are just a few of the benefits of using this firmware: It works with host software such as repetier host and OctoPrint , cura, Simplify3D, etc Some Boards do not have jumper pins exposed but can still be shorted with a conductive wire. Turn the machine on and wait a few seconds then turn it off again.

The machine will have been flashed removing the current stock firmware and allowing it to be detected as a normal arduino DUE. NOTE: Windows users may need to install drivers to detect the board. Consult the Voltivo forums. Note : points 1 and 2 are only needed to wipe the stock fw or a corrupted fw, for update they are not necessary.

Do not use 1. Open the project file named repetier. See below. Press the usual arduino compile and upload button. If done correctly you will see the arduino sketch compile successfully and output in the log showing the upload status.

When update is complete you must calibrate your bed height! Use manual bed leveling in menu Next you can calibrate your filament as usual, and second extruder offset if you have.

Any installation issue?
