- Chuck bought a Da Vinci 1.0A with an #0030 error on EBAY that was sold for parts but he fixed it with a little troubleshooting and a solder sleeve from Inventables.com. This appears to be a fairly common failure mode so hopefully this will help anybody else with this kind of failure mode.

Thank you so much! This repair saved my bacon. Found an intermittent break in my orange wire. I am currently printing 3D parts for face shields for health workers in the Covid-19 crisis... The printer is up and running again.
Because my wire break was intermittent, and I did not know which wire it might be, I made a serial connection of all four wires with jumper cables so that I could test them all at once with the Ohm Meter attached to the yellow and orange cable at the circuit board end and a jumper between blue and red there and then two jumpers, between the yellow and red and between blue and orange on the motor end.
I then wiggled the cables and pushed the printhead back and forth until the break showed itself. It was near the motor where the cable tie holds the cable boom to the stepper motor plastic frame.
Solved!
this guy is brilliant i could watch him all day. Fantastic tutorial
Thanks.
I have a 2 yr old 1.0a that just got a 0030 error... I checked the motor harness and it was o.k., checked the motor by switching axes and it was o.k., too... Checked the home sensor (three red for x-axis) and one wire was intermittent. Spliced the wire and it works so far - getting the sensor plug out (and back in) was a bit of a problem. Thanks to Chuck for showing that the harness problem does not mean a dead printer!
Easy fix, fixed mine with simple trick
found out what it was, the turntable was off calibration. Take a star screwdriver, take off turntable and there's a little hole under the turntble, line it up with the laser in the back of the printer ( located inside, rear of the printer) fired right up! thanks again for the help Chuck!
Nothing better than a nice easy fix. Well done and enjoy the 1.0A
Great video, wow, I never knew such a thing (solder and sleeve) existed! Thanks for the tip!!
hey Chuck
Thanks for the GREAT videos using the Da Vinci , I just repaired mine after watching this video getting the 0030 error, but my 3 red wires not the 4 wire plug was damaged. wasn't broke all the way thru, replaced wire and good to go!
Great video Chuck..I've been having that problem on and off (it must be an intermittent connection like it was said here) I don't have a multimeter, but as soon as I find one, I'm glad to know there's now a video to fix the error...Thanks..!!
Last night I was 3 hours into a 4 hour print when all of a sudden the clip for the X-axis tensioner pulley exploded into multiple parts. After turning it back on it gave the same 0030 error, so I wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem.
While this video isn't for the same issue, it is some great information! I don't know how I never knew about solder sleeves, but now that I see it, I need it. :)
what a great idea, hopefully these will be available in england.
Muchas gracias. Desde Chile le envío un abrazo ya que gracias a su video pude arreglar mi error 0030 debido a que los cables del motor y del sensor del eje X estaban cortados. Repare los cables y ahora sigo imprimiendo. Saludos
Thank you !! Yup indeed was a broken wire on mine. It was a red wire coming from the X axis sensor. Sweet up and running again. Always something man.
Another EXCELLENT video!
The solder sleeve looks super useful, I just did a similar repair using crimp on spade plugs for the heater. These printers are great because they're cheap, but you get what you pay for. I bought mine from a warehouse that sells amazon returns, it was not working, but it was $250 in the days when a new starter printer was $700 if you were lucky. It turned out the ribbon cable to the LCD got placed slightly wrong under the case and got stuck in a pinch point. A little rough soldering and I had myself a functional printer for half the price.
Been using the solder sleeves for a while, they really make splicing cables child's play.
Nice score! Good things DO happen to people who 3D print!
Thanks for sharing...
P.S. those Solder Shrinks are going in my kit ASAP.
Awesome video ! Lots of great, basic DIY diagnostic tips and tricks.
My "parts" rig, showed up with the same error code, and I just sat it aside for the moment. But, I'll try this immediately. :)
The wire that was broken is an indicator of excessive flex in that area. The other wires in the loom may fatigue soon as well.
I would suggest replacing all the wires from the motor connector to the first tie down point of the loom with flexible silicone covered wire similar to what is used for RC Electric motors. It can be bought in many colors and many gauge sizes.
I personally would replace the entire wire run for both motors.
For example.... www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__466__377__Hardware_Accessories-Silicon_Wire_Mesh_Guard.html
The silicone wire is also high heat rated and won't dry out...
I just got my Da Vinci Jr. I had a few error from cables being loose (0014) but over all pretty sweet. I have it running my first print right now :D
And there is not 0030 error in sight. Yay!
Thank you again !
Can you explain in more detail how to check if its the motor or motherboard? My wires checked out fine with a multi meter on the x axis motor and I am getting a 0030 error. Im thinking of selling mine on ebay as Ive spent many hours trying to fix this.
After watching this video, we were able to fix the wire problem and it prints!! Thanks! However, as of the first print after the fix it no longer goes through the routine of nozzle wiping and prints 2 to 3 inches to the left of the the assigned place. Any ideas?
Hi! I've a problem in the x axis, and doing what you do tell me that the step motor is the problem. Do you know where could I find a replacement part? Thank you!
hi sir i was wondering if u could help me i have a divinci 2.0 and it was working fine now all of asudden extruder 2left exstruder wont heat i wiggledwires and it will randomly heat up sometimes it woont i finale got a 0012 error but cant find any info on it is there any info u can giveme or a way to run it with only one exstruder
Chuck, I am having a strange problem.
I have a 1.0a that had this same problem, I had 3 motor wires broken and 1 sensor wire, I repaired everything and all is good and well. However now the extruder is about 2 mm off. if i try to auto level the bed the zprobe fails because the extruder isn't moving far enough left to get a reading. (i have Repetier 0.92 installed) any help would be great. Thanks
My DaVinci has developed the same wire break problem in the same point on the harness but in the end stop wires :(
Hi Chuck! I switch the cables in the mainboard to see if the problem was there and the printer go crazy. The right was left and left was right. Also front was back and back was front. So I couldn't see if the mainboard was the problem or not.
I will see if the problem is in the cables .. But you know where I can buy a Mainboard??
I like the video, thanks!
When are you gonna get the Junior? I ordered one today, and it should be here by Thursday. Hype is real :O
Hello, I'd like to start by thanking you for your informative videos about DaVinci printers. I'm following this and the 0011 error since both have happened simultaneously. I've checked the connections to my extruder with a multimeter, performed the soldering fix you suggested in the 0011 video, and it registers as a good connection. However, the problem still persists on the extruder. How would I go about checking the motherboard? The extruder doesn't have an identical plug like the x, y, and z axes do. So I can't check it that way. It will not heat above 21C. Thank you again for these videos.
***** Thanks. All of that is fine. I set it up to clean the nozzle and since the temp stays the same on the display, I shot my heat gun at the extruder to see if the temperature reading would register. It did. So I suppose the heater went out because the thermistor could track the rising temperature.
great video! quick question, I have 2 printers AIO and Duo. they both have started printing offset (if that's the proper term). I've tried different slicers simplify3d and xyz, changed cables, etc. the weird thing is the demos print fine, everything else starts fine, then shifts to the left. thanks
It sounds like an afternoon of troubleshooting with the multimeter to find the wire (s). Thanks for the quick response and the videos. I always turn to your videos in time of need :-)
My 1.0A has been solid for years now just today it started shifting on the X axis , pretty sure this is the first signs of the same wire harness failing
I have an issue with my X axis moving to the left a small mount every time I try to home it. I'm not getting the error. Do you think this could be a broken wire to the X home sensor instead of the motor?
I took it apart today and discovered that 2 of the 3 red wires for my home sensor were if fact broken and the 3rd wire was almost totally broken. There was a Zip Tie on the side where the X motors is and that is the exact location where the wires broke. I bet in the very same place as your broken blue wire. My 3 red wires were at the top of the bundle taking all the stress of that bend. All fixed now, but I didn't have any Solder Sleeve so I had to do it the old way.
How much did you pick it up for if you don't mind me asking?
I have once found a list with all the De Vinci issue codes, but I am unable to find that list again.
Do you have any clue where to find such a list?
Keep up the good work !!!
+Chuck Hellebuyck's Electronic Products Thanks a lot...
Hey Chuck, first of all love all the vids! your the man. Okay...I just received mines plugged it in and got a 0033 error code. Getting a little frustrated, pls if you have any solutions I would really appreciate it! thanks again
Okay thanks Chuck! I'll check it out
Hi Chuck. My Da Vinci 1.1 Plus is down. Suddenly while printing the interior light stopped and the motors are not moving anymore. The printed control screen is still on but the job function to move the extruder is not working. It seems that the motors are blocked. Can ou help resolving this issue?
Hi Chuck. In fact we found out that the board is dead. XYZ will proceed to its replacement. Regards. Pierre.
I chuck I have now Code 40 error, and a long beep Davinci 1.0a latest firmware, Version 2.0.2 (2A1977) (2.0.2) MAC El Capitan. Sudendly I was sending my print (simple keychain) and beep.
Nice you fix it... You have 3 now right?
dear Friend.
i need your help ,
i had the problem you said in this video, but i think the problem is in X Sensor, but I CANT to change or to FIX it, please coud you hlep me? how to replace it
regards
hi Chucky
it's true, is not the sensor.
I did what you suggested, change to X to Y driver, and the issue was transferred to the Y axis,
i tried to change X to Y motor engine, but its different size, so I tested the engine alone, wired X and X driver, the problem appeared again
It seemed the problem was in the cable, but I tested pin to pin and it is beeping pin to pin OK.
even so did another test to confirm, I connected the cable X to Y motor and the problem appeared, so I concluded that the problem is in the cable, but how ???? as this pin to pin connected, is it possible???
can give me a suggestion?
grateful
I got error 0030 after a print just finished and was cooling down. I check my mother board and all is connected. I guess this is an electrical fix. expensive and I don't have most of these parts.
I meant the JOG mode in my below message. Need help!!
OMG i got 0030 and i tried to swich x to y.......... the error code still 0030......seems motherboard was totally dead....
Not at all finding the problem with the 3 to 4 inch automatic off print problem. Here is another crazy question. Do you ever take in repair jobs??? I bought this new on e-bay so xyz does not respect a warranty for repairs.
Bonjour , merci pour la video , j ai un Soussi avec mon imprimante IAO ma buse ne chauffe plus Alor une je veut bien mais deux c est louche j ai erreurs 0011 qui s affiche es que vous prouver me dire ou chercher . merci Hello thank you for the video, I have a Soussi with my printer IAO my nozzle no longer heats Alor one I want well but two c is ladle I have errors 0011 that shows you can tell me or seek. Thank you
I just had a 0030 error last night. I woke the next morning and it was fine.
JMAPScience An indication of an intermittent connection.
Mines in the board...
I don't get why they don't use a other quality of cable when that part moves that much. A silicon flat-cable would work better, less wear. www.daburn.com/2606-DaFlex-Silicone-Ultra-Flexible-Flat-Ribbon-Cable.aspx something like this, you can get em color coded.
my x axis works going left and doesn't going right. not sure why i'm gonna try this tho . th-cam.com/video/NRzQQd8GlMA/w-d-xo.html audio broke but basically i was saying sometimes it actually does work like 1/50 times
edit : i'm trying to take out the motor x connector out of the motherboard and it's putting up a fight lol how should i do it it won't come out without me ripping the whole motherboard
Dylan I
It won't last too long chuck.
I did the same thing and it broke after 10-20 hrs useage
I ended up replacing both harnesses with IGUS chainflex CF9 cable.

***** I've actually got a spare harness in from the stock ABS (non-PLA-compatible) nozzle if you end up needing one
