I tried following the settings in this thread but they don't matchup well with the current settings.

Can someone please post what they are using for FAST, Medium and High for a Davinci 1.0?

It would be great if we could have a place to post .fff files with notes.

Thanks!

I purchased a Davinci 1.0 several months ago, but never got to seriously explore its capabilities. Basically, just downloaded .stl files from the web, or made something in tinkercad, and tried to print them. Some printed okay, but most didn't do so well. After reading so many good things about it, I really wanted to give the Simplify3D software a try. I got it a day ago, and it sure looks way better than the XYZPrinting Software the Davinci came with. However, I haven't been able to make it print as good as I've read in many posts that it can. I'm using the Davinci printer profile included in the S3D software, but I was hoping there was a better profile for it.

Anyway, thank you for all of your suggestions posted here! Hopefully, one of the 3D printing Gods here can come up with a better profile for the Davinci 1.0 some time soon.

Hello and welcome.
Go to this link http://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1943 . My post there is the 2nd one and I have a profile there I used to do the print pictured.

chath wrote:thanks, that's really cool. so here's what i'm using right now

.4mm nozzle
.45mm width
.2mm retract
.4 vertical lift
-.05 extra restart distance
.2mm layer height

4000mm/s speed
30% outer layer reduction
35% first layer speed
94% first layer height
2000mm/s retract
2000mm/s z speed
9000mm/s rapids

3 shells, 3 top, 3 bottom
40% infill

support:
2 layer spacing from top
1 space from bottom
72 degree overhang
10% infill
rectilinear


misc:
print islands sequentially
force retract between layer
minimum 3mm movement for retract
only retract when crossing open spaces
2% infill overlap
.93 extrusion multiplier


im still tuning the retracts, the above is from memory.

oh and im using a .80mm offset skirt 5 layers wide, 5 layers tall to prevent corner lifting up

NOZZLE WIPE 5mm
if theres a checkbox for forcing more nozzle wipes then make sure it's checked. i think it says "only wipe nozzle on external layer" or something, uncheck that so it wipes it a lot
