- The DaVinci Jr. 2.0 Mix 3D printer can deliver some impressive results for the price. Dual color and mixed color printing for under $500 sounds pretty great, but there are some things seriously holding this machine back. Watch and learn!

Even if this printer had incredible print quality, I wouldn't buy this on the principle that they've locked it to only use their spools. We, as a growing community, shouldn't be supporting these kinds of practices
And this printer only supports proprietary software
you probably could make something in fusion 360 or other software's and load it into that software and then you can print it
Not for stl files, for slicing, like you cant use cura simplify3d etc.
Box-Of-Hats I have a custom made reseter chip that will trick the printer into thinking it is full so I can use 3rd party filament. Now I have flashed mine to use repeater host firmware so I can slice with slic3r or any software I choose, but this took a lot of work and it's a shitty printer. STAY AWAY BUY ANOTHER PRINTER!!
Box-Of-Hats exactly, it doesn't use g-code. It uses its one code. You can't even use your preferred slicer.
Okay printer... to me it's not worth all of the negatives just for gradient colors. I liked that last one you reviewed better
So it needs to extrude a lot of material when swapping colours, has a shitty slicer and proprietary non-reusable spools.
Not really worth it.
ABaumstumpf while changing colors, a purge tower is normal. So no wasted plastic here. But im with you on everything wmelse you said. I would buy it, if they wouldnt lock you onto their filament a d slicer.
Bilal Akyüz there doesn’t seem to be a halfway decent open source slicer that does mixing, unfortunately. Slic-three-R has the other kinds locked down (multi-extruder and load/unload) but nobody is making a successful mixing printer that isn’t proprietary.
That thing tech companies are doing of binding you to their software and materials is going to catch on to them... it's unethical to force people into your products and keeping them spending with that technique of the appropriate materials designed specifically for use with their products.
Printer printers have been doing that for pretty much ever
esteban betancourt there's a reason many like the Prusa i3s
I think the aim is to make a printer that just works. If you want to buy a spool, provide no filament calibration and print well, then the company has to lock you into plastic of known quality. It's not for the hobbyist or tinkerer. imho anyway
Ah, capitalism.
Exactly my point dude. Read my comment.
So when the company goes bust in 3 years time and it's impossible to buy their marked up spools you can no longer use your product? What sort of idiot would buy one of these?
lol This idiot replying, have a 1.0A was the only printer at the time i started shopping for a 3d printer 3 months later i'm drowning in choices, meanwhile i moved on to a ender 2 great printer still use my davinci for abs almost perfect prints found a hack to use 3rd party filaments.
Perfect example of what NOT to do as a 3d printing company.
Miller's Mad Designs it's disgusting and greedy and I hope the company gets boycotted into making an actually good product, even if it's just for the sake of their bottom line.
Love the gradients, not so keen on everything else. But hopefully other printers will incorporate this feature.
I hope there will be CMYK printers one day or similar, that work and are low cost.
So, it's like an Apple 3D printer. Or I guess that'd be iPrinter, haha
ha ha (sarcastic btw)
this printer is like apple everything is limited and proprietary
if you are interested in blended color printing you should have a look at the Geeetech Rostock 301 mix color 3D printer, it uses 3 instead of 2 filaments that are RGB by default so it can create every color by mixing
Da Vinci printers are terrible, not only because they use proprietary software and materials but because you can't change the hardware and upgrade your printer. Not a tool, more a toy.
Matt Bilik
Pretty bad toy.
Even if this printer had incredible print quality, I wouldn't buy this on the principle that they've locked it to only use their spools. We, as a growing community, shouldn't be supporting these kinds of practices
Wow, that's one of the worst printer offers I've ever seen. Crappy software, locking people into their spools...yeah, not cool. I guess they tried to use the standard "printer business model" of selling you cheap hardware and then bleed you dry on refills....
7:27 you said fidget twister
AlexTheHaszard shock horror what a heresy.
Because it's his own thing, it's the two pieces that slide into one another.
Mark Heim no its not... it's a fidget spinner
You are mixing the two up
Eli Dykhne me?
they want you to buy their overpriced spools
I'm a salty sandra but isnt that similar to how Apple removes features of their phones each year so you have to buy other products that make less sense? They want money?
This looks like a no-go.
I used to have the original da vinci jr 2.0. My first printer. Loved it at the time, compared to what I have now, its pretty bad
wait... *zooms in on his shirt* Is that... IT'S COOL GUY
I just posted that too at the top. ok it wasn't exactly what you said but I said cool shirt
It's like someone had a list of all the things you shouldn't do on a 3d printer as they are anti-consumer, and decided to do them all.
So basically it kind of not sucks but it really sucks
You always inspire me! Keep being YOU!
2017: We are now hacking spools with long plastic spaghetti wrapped around it. Nice
so basically this thing isn't worth the money.
Because the settings are all fine tuned to our material.
Except, their not.
As I love to tinker, so this isn't a printer for me. I don't wanted t be limited in the way they do. Maybe good for people that only want to press and play.
Thanks for the honest review with the neutral tone. You are destined for 1M subs! When considering my first 3d printer earlier this year, I rejected the DaVinci line because of these proprietary spools. The principal expense on these things is filament.
Would it be possible to read the full spool nfc code and write it to blank nfc discs and use them to spoof spools?
You can now buy the nfc chips from a guy who makes them on ebay. I use them and they work great. You can put filament on the empty spools and start printing with no problem.
Hi Devon!! You inspire me to get a printer and build with it. Keep making videos because you are awesome!!
who is watching at 1 am
Grace Wright I know I am!
Grace Wright 4 in the morning for me.
Grace Wright 4:am
I'm in Texas
Grace Wright 3:15am for me
i was out for a week and where did your beard go?
Thanks for such amazing content!
You're the best!
Start a series where you print 3 comment suggestions from your fans and you go through the process of making it
Hmm.. it would probably be too long if I went through the process for 3 designs, but I might do something similar :)
OMG... :)
Chipped Spool?.... CHIPPED SPOOLS!!!!?!??!!?!? NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!!!!!!!!
I personally think he looks way better without beard
DevinsMustacheOFFICIAL oh god
do not buy this is a con
Fortunately, unlike inkjet, anybody with decent machining skills can make a nozzle, so hopefully no shitty company will be able to hold the market hostage with the cheap machine expensive consumable strategy, like what happened with 2d printing. And let's keep it that way!!!
Hm... Looks like davinci did not change... I wonder that they are still alive... A closed eco system with bad quality, makerbot died for less xD
Thumbs up for the review, very helpful to see the downsides to the printer as well.
I just use my old DaVinci Jr. 1.0 to build a new project in my channel
Maybe I should consider to upgrade my 3d printer after watching this video
The reasons behind the proprietary filament are 1 (the main one) so they can make money in the long haul of the printer. They are kinda taking the ink printer approach where the printer is cheap but the ink is expensive. The other smaller reason is so they can control the quality of the filament. Yes its stupid and I would gladly pay a little ($100 or so) extra to get a printer that doesn't require specific special spools but just give it time and someone will find a way around this. That is if this printer becomes popular which I kinda think it wont.
you shaved?
who won in the giveaway?
Yo, Devin, could you do like a home and studio tour showing us where you work and keep all your stuff? I'd love to see a video on it! Keep up the amazing work! :D
There is this really cool new da Vinci I have it it's the da Vinci colour could you make a video about it
I hate how their first thought for a 3d printer was " lets bring the same business model as normal printers to 3d printing BUT the printer will still be full price"
Great video, but the printer/software is exactly what I expected.
My first printer was the DaVinci 1.0a which had all the same problems you outlined. I quickly flashed the firmware to Repetier and things improved dramatically. Another huge negative is the customer support, it's horrendous. Worse than having none at all. They make you jump through hoops before they will even consider sending you the replacement part that snapped. That was my experience.
I've since given it to a friend ... yes, he's still my friend lol
This printer reminds me of that terrible printer the cube 3
* YOU NEED TO USE THEIR FILAMENT
* YOU NEED TO USE THEIR SLICER
* JUST A "TOY" 3D PRINTER
What happened to your camera voice
Chipped spools? Seriously? Do they not realize that they're dealing with makers? Is there any group more likely to resent vendor lock-in and be able disable that particular draconian protection?
If the gradients were worth this printer's cost and the headache of having to deal with the NFC tags - it's not - I would absolutely hack that NFC chip.
you could try to rewrite the NFC chip on the spool
Get a chip reader, copy each chip at its full state. Then when it gets programmed by the machine at the end of spool stage you can reprogram it to its original state with your own filament. If that doesn't work try making a clone of the chip to see if you can make it work that way.
Epson tried this in a way with their printers. The chips on the ink tanks didn't really read the quantity for each color but rather the average ink usage. Even with wasteful cleaning cycles you can hear enough ink sloshing around each cartridge to get some more pages out 'em.
As part of the work around people were making cloned chips that read "always full" for their Continuous Ink Systems which was largely due to running external ink bottles or tanks with way higher capacities than what ships with their printers. Funny how Epson took that idea with their new higher capacity ink tank "eco printers". But CIS setups were all about using pigmented inks for constant printing.
DAVINCI... WHY YOU SO SELFISH
thanks for the honest review glad i can look to your channel for some high quality non -bias reviews.
this printer seems pretty sketchy having everything coming from the same company, it kind of reminds me of the pay wall that many video games companys use for DLC. want to get the most out of our printer? well your gonna have to buy our filament at our price.
wow, who would have thought corporate greed could become self-sabotage? ...oh right, EVERYONE.
Try copying the nfc tag from the spool to nfc stickers. It's easier than "hacking" the existing nfc chip all the time. Just make a whole lot of stickers and apply them to all your the nfc reader and place your spool outside the printer.
My 180€ Tarantula prints way better than this and with some cheap upgrades you can make it print dual colors or even blend them. Also proprietary things are pure crap
Like the review. But there's way too many. Can you bring back actual 3D projects and builds they were a lot better than these reviews. Please
I used to have a da vinci but it eventually broke. The print quality was ok but the lack of 3rd party filaments and software really limited things.
I got around the NFC chip on the DaVinci Nano by just leaving the original filament spool on and just plugging another filament into feed tube.
hi Make Anything i was trying to find a cheap 3D printer on amazon and found this printer (Einstart-S Desktop 3D Printer) i want your opinion about this printer. I never use a 3D printer but i want to now your opinion about this printer is worth it buying it .
Yay a New video! I'd have watched it earlier but i was in the middle of watching nightmare on elm street XD
I didn't really like the printer :p
I have the day Vinci 1.0 pro and the xyz warepro software that works flawlessly it is a bit limited in print settings but you can change the retract settings
This would be an amazing 3D printer, only if their spools and 3D printers weren't set up to make you only have to use their spools.
can u do a boxzy review
Never ever support primters that limit you on thier own filament Brand! This is a really bad Way 3D printing is going.
I have a Da Vinci jr, and you said you could use a different software to slice the print. Do you have to do any special conversions to make the printer work?
I like that the m3d slicer software you can add third party filament and also you can go into advance and import gcode (sadly no dual filaments but you might be able to do it if you figure out how to use the internal and external filling and have it retract one like most of the way and then use the other feeder)
Idc for printer reviews. I subbed for cool projects and I already have a printer and
there are other reviews online. You shaved, looks better👍
From what you said to me it seems like it sucks since every 10 seconds was this broke that broke this doesn't work so I had to fix it. Just a bunch of crap to me!
No no thay made NFC because printer is actually more expensive but thay will make that money up by buying their plastic
check out the geeetech 301. it's a 3 in 1 out printer that can also do blending
I can tell that he knew that this was crap so didn't really try to make it look good
I like the review, I like the dual color idea, but I don't like Da Vinci....branded is the wrong way to be.
I’m so glad I watched this before buying it the MatterHackers pulse is way better then what this printer looks like
So conceivably, if someone else were to design something similar, wouldn't you just need three spools to do most colors?
plz do a boxzy review
print a Rubik's cube
ANOTHER BANGER!!!! Keep up the good work and great content man!
I looked into this a year ago but I think that it is dumb that I can’t use tetrachrome or other special filaments that give texture and make prints look so much better
not only do they they force you to use thier tool with the printer but their filament stick and strings, the slicer/program to design the prints is limited.
I have that printer but not the 2 colour just the one and I think you can use there filament but you can have the option to use 3rd party filament.
Hairless Devon... Goddamn, you look so much older with the facial hair.
It's got some cool tricks that are all negated by it being a proprietary POS!!
if you were selling that cool gradient fidget twister i would so buyyyy it
Thats just BS marketing. Trying to be like HP
Can u do a review on the MakerArm? Robotic arm 3D printer that does loads of other stuff too
I will never be able to support a printer that has proprietary filament.
If you size the filament for the printer and buy one the same size but cheaper, you can keep the nfc chip and put it in the cheaper spool
they put chips in the filament so you have to use there filament this is because it is a cheap printer so they propably sell the printer at a loss and sell the filament for lots of money like atuall printers
As much as I enjoy these reviews, I'd love them more if you told us what improvements we could do to the 3D printer to improve print quality
i don't blame you. its why i hacked my davincci 2.0 a duo to repetier 0.92 mod from git hub😉
oh and not only that... they are a pain in the business end to get replacement parts for repair. and the pretty platic is totally unessessary and fragile
I had a Jr 1.0, and I basically had the same issues you did.
The biggest problem is the tolerances though. Printing statues and stuff is fine, but printing interlocking parts is VERY difficult as you have to modify the dimensions of the model to compensate for the massive over extrusion.
Another problem I had was accessing the extruder to clean it. It has a tiny opening where you can shove an included straw brush down into the extruder gears and that works most of the time.
But if you ran into a filament jam and it really got dirty or you needed to oil something you have to basically take apart the entire top of the printer to get to the extruder assembly, and even that required some frightening wire disconnecting.
That being said, I replaced this printer outright with a Monoprice Maker Select Mini and I have been very happy with it. *knocks on wood* lol
Where is the boat benchy devin? Also you should make a giant version of it!
YOU HAVE THE TAGS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU GET THE PRINTER FOR THAT PRICE.
Please please please please make a review on the 200 dollar anycubic delta printer!!!!!
hey Devin, I have an awesome idea for 3D printing. It involves a bit of modeling, 3D scanning and moulding. So the idea is to scan someones head and then turn it into an ice cube mould (kind of like those ice ball moulds you can buy) so they can have ice cubes shaped like their head. The mould would be made out of silicone so it's food safe. That would be really awesome!
I have a da Vinci jr and it can't print perfect circles, any ideas what it could be?
If the spool is off, it will think it is still using it and the spool will not print even if there is any plastic left on the spools.
Good on you for being honest in your review. Telling them what you really think about the Filament DRM and non-interchangeability of the parts. Good for you. Subbed due to honesty.
Hey makeanything! I love your stuff keep up the good work!
