I use a Da Vinci 1.0 before the new open filament version. I am curious to know if any one has tried using the Makesolid filament in one. I won a spool here on pinshape an concerned I now may not be able to use it. I have a tool to reset my cartridges and change the temperature of the extruder. Has any one had any success?
I messaged a user who has the Da Vinci 1.0 and also won a spool of MadeSolid filament to see if they can provide some help. Hoping they’ll have a bit of time to give their input!
thanks.
Looking forward to more info. I am trying to investigate some of the other types of filaments too now that I have a cartridge reset tool. I did see some people having issues with PLA clogging on reviews of products at Amazon
I hope this topic becomes a little more active.

Hello Steven,
Karen asked me if I could help you with my settings for MadeSolid PET+ on a Da Vinci printer.
My Da Vinci 1.0a is modified with these parts:
- E3D V6 hotend (http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6/Full-Kit/v6-1.75mm-Universal-Bowden) with a new x-axis-carriage(http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:594392)
- NeuStruder bowden-extruder (http://voltivo.com/forum/davinci-hwmods/645-neustruder-bowden-flexibles-exturder?limitstart=0)
Also I have flashed the Repetier firmware on my Da Vinci. (https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92)
My settings for printing with MadeSolid PET+:
Heated bed temp: 35°C
Hotend temp: 235°C
Print speed: 20 mm/s
I use Scotch Blue masking tape on my printbed and no cooling fan.
These are the best settings for my modified Da Vinci, but I don’t know if this works for a almost stock Da Vinci printer.
Perhaps this helps you a bit.

Not quite as techy as you are looked at links a little over my small mind 
Is it possible to use it without the head modifications can I use the original printer heads at the higher temp? At this stage I am too much of a neophyte to tinker with the hardware. Had enough of challenge with it and XYZ when my first print head died a few days after I got it. had to replace the wiring and a small circuit board on back of head.
