There’s not a single ‘here how you do it’ repository on the Internet on the DaVinci so I had to find a few different articles and forum posts and piece them together, do I know what all of these settings do? No, but I have a pretty good hunch. Then I sliced the same image using the Da Vinci’s slicer and printed it for comparison.įor this comparison I’m using slic3r 1.1.7 and xyzware 1.1.33.3 the only modifications to my xyzware is blocking outbound internet access from the application to avoid involuntary firmware upgrades (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it). In a nutshell, I found some settings on the internet, entered them into slic3r, downloaded a model, sliced it, saved it to a format the Da Vinci understood and then printed it. In this post I’ll walk you through what I did to get slic3r working correctly with my printer. Well, here’s my first post regarding my journey to discover the world of 3D printing. Most of the users it seems are hard core hackers, makers and hobbyists so someone new to 3D printing (like me) is left wondering how can I make my prints better. But there’s not a lot of guidance out there around using slic3r and the Da Vinci. Needless to say the better slicer, the better the print. A slicer takes a 3d model and converts it into a series of ‘slices’ that are then printed one at a time vertically to create your 3d object. Not ready to void my warranty I was looking for alternatives and found that may users recommend using the slic3r slicer. One of the most common recommendations is to ‘jailbreak’ your printer by loading a custom firmware on it and then using open source software to control it.
The XYZ Printing Da Vinci is frequently scrutinized in the 3D printing world and the XYZware (the software running the XYZ Printing) is most frequently bashed as being lower quality and limited. We have a few key uses internally at AppliedI that I think fabricating our own components will be extremely interesting and useful but before I start making bolt-ons for the cloud, I need to get up to speed on this device.
Recently, I purchased a 3D printer, the XYZ Printing Da Vinci 1.0 to experiment with. Previously they were only available to die hard hobbyists willing to put together an open source kit and those with deep industrial pockets but today a 3d printer can be had for a few hundred dollars. With a 3D printer and a little CAD knowledge you can build just about anything from computer parts like fan shrouds and heat diffusers to artistic elements and even space craft parts. 3D printing is opening up a world of possibilities across the globe.
