DaVinci 1.0 printing magic. I’m totally shocked this worked out. The new print head assembly seems to do much better. Any one else have the newer generation head? What are your thoughts?
New print head? What did they change?
Any more info? I have a DaVinci as well, looking to upgrade some parts.
The head has been upgraded since the original release. This it’s the new PLA capable head. My original about a year ago was ABS only, and had a different shape entirely.
I can’t find any documentation about it. What makes it PLA compatible that the old one was lacking in? Is it still ABS compatible? Where do you get the new extruder?
XYZ Printing sells it. Check out this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/PcyCdyRvyks
If your nozzle already looks like that…then great! But you can clearly see they have modified it. For reasons I can tell you about first hand.
True, but unfortunately the R&D is happened after they sold thousands of barely tested products.
Just be careful to check the connector to the heater element if you still have the old black connector. I think they noticed that the vapor from the water based glue stick was getting into it and corroding the pins…hence the new full jacket. My connector was heating up instead of transmitting the voltage and current to the printer head, which could have resulted in a nice meltdown/fire.
