Incorrect format detected Da vinci 1.0 with repetier

[eldany]

Hi all, i haver a problem:

I just downloaded Simplify 3D. My printer is a XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 with repetier firmware.
I selected the XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 as printer and for establish connection i changed Flow control to Hardware flow control in firmware configuration panel
because the printer where not able for connect with no flow control.

Now i have connection and default da vinci 1.0 FFF settings but when i usb send a test print the program says:

INCORRECT FORMAT DETECTED

XYZprinting.3w files can only be uploaded to Da Vinci brand printers.

Any clue?

Thanks!

Well, if you're using repetier, then you don't want to create 3w files. That firmware just uses standard gcode files.

So go to the G-Code tab and change the export file format option

Is anyone using this printer with repetier and g-code?

Because when i try printing with gcode the head just starts printing in the current position, d not home Z axis before printing and just starts
extruding in hte middle of the air and when finish printing everything stops...i mean...the head stays in the last printing position and the bed stays up.

Does anyone has the right start and ending g-codes for davinci 1.0?

Thanks

Just add a G28 to the beginning of your starting script if it isn't homing. Also make sure that the "wait for temperature to stabilize..." option is enabled for all of your temperature controllers.

Here's my scripts for Start and End... for DaVinci 1A

The start homes it, then, after it heats up bed/nozzle, before it starts printing, it moves to front and waits 4 seconds so you can scrub/clean nozzle tip.
The end script move bed down to bottom and plays audio

;-----------My Start Script-------------------
G28 ; home all
M116 ; wait for heating
G0 Y165 F700 ; move forward for Nozzle cleaning
G4 P4000 ; dwell for 4 seconds for cleaning
;--------------End---------------------------


;------ End Script -------------
M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
G10 ; short retract

G0 Z200 ; move Bed down
G28 X Y ; home the head to it's X/Y
M300 s1000 p400 ; play sound
M300 s1500 p400 ; play sound
M300 s2000 p400 ; play sound
M300 s2500 p400 ; play sound
M84 ; disable motors

So I need to manually copy to sd card or open Goode in another software to do the print?

[CompoundCarl]

Nope, you can still print using S3D and a USB cable. You just need to make sure you set the correct file type as mentioned above.

Just an update to the above. The selection for Standard G-Code isn't under the G-Code tab (naturally). It's under the Scripts tab, under Post Processing. (I'm guessing it changed in a revision of S3D subsequent to the posts above.

Scripts is where the post processing tools are so it makes sense to me that the option for changing the export type could fit in there.
