DaVinciXYZ Printer shuts down during upload

I am using a DaVinci XYZ 1 printer. 75/100 times, during the upload of the Gcode the printer shuts down and then comes back on but will not print.
The gcode is generated ok but the problem occurs during the uploading. There appears to be something in the gcode that causes this. Strangely enough this doesn't happen all the time. Once in a while it will print ok. This will happen, even using the same STL file.

Re: DaVinciXYZ Printer shuts down during upload

which operating system are you running? I have a friend who has a da vinci and he has found 100% success on his Mac by mimicking the EOL characters used by Windows. In short try this if you're encountering this with Mac:

Open the Machine Control Panel, and disconnect from the da Vinci printer. Change the baud rate to 250000 and then reconnect.

in the scripts tab, in post processing under the prepend script, put in:
{REPLACE "\n" "\r\n"}

Then slice a model. Do not upload the print, instead save the toolpaths to the disk somewhere, this will make sure the post processing scripts are run. Then go to File > Preview G-Code, and choose the file you just saved. Then try to upload that to the printer.

This fix seems to have fixed the problem, so far...
Thanks,

It's funny how typewritters and 2d paper-printing conventions have come all this way effect 3d printers.

Where do I find this? I went into "edit process settings" > "scripts" > "end scripting."

Here is what I have there:
M103 ; turn off extruder and retraction
M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
M107 ; turn off fan
M127 ; turn off valve
M84 ; disable motors

Am I supposed to but it at the end of this part? Sorry for my ignorance lol.

No problem, in the Scripts tab, in the box that says "Additional post processing", add it to the bottom of that.
