DA VINCI 1.0 AIO

Instructions:

  1. Connect the printer to a PC or laptop.
  2. ​​Turn on the AIO printer.
  3. Press the home button on the front of the printer.
  4. select Utilities.
  5. Then select Build Sample.
  6. Select what you want to build between: Demo, Lion, and Light House.
  7. Press enter to start printing.
  8. When printing is done wait for the object to cool down then use the scraper to remove it for the plate.

Other Important Information:

  • Have the XYZware downloaded to your laptop or PC.
  • The Printer can be hot so let it cool down before removing the object printed.
  • Filaments for the Printer: PLA and ABS compatible.
  • You can reset the filament with Arduino Uno if you don't want to buy more expensive filament.

Proprietary filament cartridge:

Filaments are the raw material for 3D printing, just like ink cartridges in inkjet printers. They come in different colors and are basically easy-to-melt, quickly congealing plastic strings that are fed through the print head nozzles during a print job. In the case of the Da Vinci, each cartridge comes with the filament string protruding for you to grab on and feed into the printer's print-head.
As for how 3D printers work, during a print job, the print-head pulls the filament string, melts the plastic, and extrudes it onto the platform underneath through the nozzle. The platform lowers gradually depending on the height, and the print head moves around depending on the width and shape of the object being built. As the extruded plastic piles on top layer by layer, it congeals very quickly and after awhile it will slowly form the object. This process is called fused deposition modeling (FDM), and also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). This is the current 3D printing technology used in all consumer-grade 3D printers.
As a single-extruder, the Da Vinci can work with only one filament cartridge at a time, and the printer doesn't allow for swapping out a cartridge during a print job. This means, you can only print objects of one color with the printer.This is not a big problem, however, since you can always paint the object after a job is done.
