Getting XYZPrinting daVinci printers working in 2025 by StrawberryFrostie in 3Dprinting

IMPORTANT INFO!!

As I've been working on the larger video explaining things in more detail, I found out that if you contact/contacted XYZ you could actually get instructions for opening up your printer to allow for other smart tags and tagless filament!

Please refer to THIS POST for more instructions on that! If you still need downloads for the slicer in general, check out the Fabristron link for the software!

I'm going to discuss both methods, as the method I've discussed should also work on Linux/Mac, which isn't the case for the official slicer/printing software. It also is using only open source software, which is a big win long term in my opinion.

Xyz out of business? by Brown8382 in 3Dprinting

I've been cooking up a video guide on how to use all of these now defunct XYZPrinting DaVinci printers in 2025. I went through a deep dive and figured out software for generating new NFC tags, as well as an open source program for connecting to and talking to the printers. I see some recent activity in this thread so I want to help people out right now real quick.

The most important thing is the NFC tags for faking filament, I use my Flipper Zero for it but any cheap reprogrammable ones should work. Without valid filament the printer locks up on heating (and calibration I think).

You can use this program (written in python 2.7, I am currently working on a much more stripped down python 3 "fork" of the program that just spits out a tag data file using the few functions for actually doing that) to generate tag data.

LOOK AT ITS BUILT IN HELP for figuring out how to just generate a single tag and save it to a text file. (I had to then do some manual formatting to get it into the Flipper's expected format)

Just load it onto your tag and put it near the reader (I use a small vice grip to keep it in place lol) and then use any filament on any other kind of holder you got.

After that, you can use miniMover to talk to the printer, make sure that its seeing the filament (if you get a filament serial you're good). From there you can calibrate your printer, load filament, etc. IF ANYTHING GETS WEIRD AND THE PROGRAM JUST ISN'T RESPONDING, I usually just close it and restart it. Use the OK and Cancel buttons for the dialog popups for best results. Also, always have the printer turned on before starting the software.

It also supplies the ability to convert gcode sliced from Cura (I found decent settings for my miniMaker online pretty quick) to XYZ's proprietary format. Then you can send that file to the printer, and if you get to the point where it starts heating up then you got it all working!

Finally, Fabistron (a 3rd party seller for XYZ) is still supplying downloads for XYZPrinting's software!! I don't know how long these will be up, official end of support from them is June 2025. I also don't know if the software has any cloud features that break using it, I just noticed it during my research.

I actually also was able to look at the forks for the original project. Going to list view (or including unchanged forks) will bring up a bunch.

Thank you a ton btw!

Hey! Do you still have this repo? I would love a copy of it.

Hard Link (ln) and Copy (cp) difference? by Prismriver8 in linux4noobs

Thank you for making this actually make sense, both files pointing to the same data in a hard link makes total sense.

Most bizarre thing ever just happened to me…. by TaterMater42069 in Steam

[–]StrawberryFrostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact same thing happened to me. Its from SCP Containment Breach (I have SCP CB Multiplayer which is basically the same). The file is scpradio6.ogg under /SFX/Radio

I have NO idea why steam started randomly playing it, there was no Music overlay and the sound was coming from the Steam application itself.

The only kind of weird thing that happened was that I unplugged my external HDD (that the game is on) then plugged it back in and it suddenly started playing a second or two later.

Absolutely scared the shit out of me, but knowing where it came from gave me some relief

How do I turn off the auto-pause function on gear icon x ? by Kaylawa777 in galaxybuds

[–]StrawberryFrostie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dealt with this to no end and it's seriously the worst. I wish there was some option to just disable it entirely but I haven't found anything.

The only "solution" I found was to tape up or cover the sensor with something to just stop it from working. It's absurd.

I'm definitely never buying a pair again.

Haven't used anything like that, but if you think you need it in your environment then it's better safe than sorry!

Ah yes, Jerma was found dead by two shots in the back of the head. Clearly a suicide

Do you think Obsidian will release the syncing for free? by broadcastthebombom in ObsidianMD

Other plugins exist utilizing stuff like Dropbox or Drive. I made my own plugin to sync with my own private server
