- This is an honest product review of the the DaVinci Pro 3D Printer made by xyzprinting. The Da vinci Pro is a great 3D Printer for the price. It has a few quirks but they are nothing to get hung up on. If your looking for a really good 3D Printer that gives you pro level features at an entry level price then this is your machine. Below are some of the [parts folks are saying are hard to find.

Very good review of this printer that I love, but so many people hate.
I have big parts of my channel dedicated to this printer. Lot's of tweaks, tips and tricks and Yes... I you understand 3D printing, this is a great printer.
Hey man... I've watched your videos and slowly getting through alot more of them. I love your channel. Can't wait to link up.... Keep doing what you're doing.. Your awesome. I'm a big fan... Tony D.
Thanks for your compliment. I am glad someone now made a honest and unbiased review about this printer.
This comment is not intentionally directed at you.
But I've noticed that anytime that these companies want to advertise the size of their printer, they get very small men to do it.
A large printer to me is not the same as it would be to someone that's 5 ft.
I'm 6'5.
If I want to print a mask I need a much larger printer space.
In my opinion that almost equates to false advertisement.
It's just an opinion, but it is something to consider.
Great video, I'm thinking of getting this printer as my first 3d printer... Is it worth spending a bit more and getting the 3 in 1 version for the 3d scanner?
😂😂😂😂 this guys voice is like he was normal and then someone shrunk him
The problem w the DaVinci is the maker itself. In my experience with their Orange county office is poor customer service.
And I believe it still is today. I'm trying to buy a replacement extrusion module from them. Their website is not working. Their contact phone is not in service. I am unable to log in to my account.
Great review:). I am interested to by one but I need to print Nylon ! Is this 3D printer is capable, I know that ABS is very close to Nylon in specifications.
I've been looking at a lot of reviews and this is the best.
You need to change your transitions, make them have a 0.10 fade AFTER the needed video. So we don't get sentence cuts
I read your comment along time ago and wrote a long response..... I deleted it.. It's hard to explain... I talk to many other TH-camrs.... The consensus is make them short and sweet. Super short.. I call it the short cut... Cut out absolutely everything that doesn't add value....Comedians do it the best.... We mere mortals just try to emulate... It's an artistic editing thing and I'm trying to find the balance..... I do think long and hard on constructive comments like this. Thank you... Tony D.
Great feedback! Just purchased printer today. This video really helped me to manage my expectations.
eBay has very very good customer protection, maybe it's been 10-15 years since you have used it? My experience, I've ordered thousands and sold tens thousands of items on eBay and never been ripped off once as a customer. eBay always decides disputes in the customers favor 99.99999 % of the time. Its a buyers market. Amazon has good protection as well, but the printer has very bad reviews on Amazon as well. The benefit of ebay is you can often get 3D printeres hundreds of dollars cheaper. That said, I did enjoy your review, thanks for taking the time to make it
ive had one for a year.
the auto level and auto feed are garbage. but manual lvl and feed are not hard to do. you can pause half way and change color if you want too.
this thing makes awesome prints. buildtak is a must. for either type of plastic.
Can you use gcode made in cura and print it on this printer?
Nice job. Fittings. . . Strain relief. Should be engineered better, but if zip-tie strain relief works, keep on going. If you are going to get something this complex at this price point, you need to be prepared to tinker. (I think I am saying the same thing you said with slightly different words.)
And thank you for your service. (The first time someone said that to me I was kind of taken aback. Vietnam draft era veteran, we pretty much did not have a choice and most guys "served" whether they wanted to or not. But there are choices now.)
And one of the things that has to totally suck about being a TH-camr is reading the comments. I guess you kind of have to.
Hi great video! just bought this and found this useful. do you still have a link to the filament feeder part? link seems to broken. thanks!
right now this same printer is $299 on Amazon. This would be my first would you buy it for that today?
Yes. It's a little finicky but a solid printer for that price.
obviously you back this product, but you are serously over-selling "its not a big deal" aspect on the "CONS". A simple "people seem to be hung up on this, not me, but thats YOUR CALL to make" would sound much more "NON BIAS" which is what people (atleast I THINK) are looking for.
Either way, good video brotherman... thank you very much.

im loking for a 3d priter to prit models out for model raill layout and train carts and platforms what would be the best film to use for this ?
The link for the part to allow you use the larger filaments doesn't work. Can you repost it?
Good review! I have 3 different printers and the xyz prints the best. I bought a mini to try them out, and it rocks. Blows the FlashForge Finder away. Just forget the Monoprice Mini. Thinking about a Pro, and I appreciate the details.
Good video... Maybe try to keep your face in the frame more? Kinda distracting when half ur face is out of frame most of the time.
Found one on Craigslist barely used for $100... To buy or not to buy? I have zero experience with 3D Printers.
For that price, if is really only barely used is a big deal! You can even buy it and resell it at 200$. It's worth for sure!
is this a good 3d printer for a Novice? where are you getting your ABS filament?
This is a super honest review bro... I am going to be using this to print characters made in Zbrush and I am very floored by the quality and price. It's 575 on amazon right now and I get free shipping too. And the fact that I can get my filament from Matterhackers, and build my spool holder out of PVC at home depot will not deter me.
And good point about setting up your pieces before sending it to XYZWare. I will usually take my pieces and lay them on the ground plane in Zbrush before printing. This will be my early Christmas gift.
awesome review!! I've been thinking about an entry level printer to get started 3d printing...i run a machine shop and want to try this out before dropping $$$$$ on an industrial unit! thanks for the review.
I was looking for my first 3D Printer and this one will be it!
Awesome....I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one, so far this one is 1st
Just gotta wait a week :D and it's mine
Yeah.. it's awesome... the naysayer's are being overly dramatic in my opinion....
Commando Designs And after putting my models on screen and running in Unreal, I want something different
THANK YOU BROTHER....I ordered this machine it is coming by friday the 21st of March. Thanks for your service and for your review my brother in the military. Have a great time with your printer.....you convinced me! so i ordered it. thanks again bro. John from Kansas.
Please do tell us how it's for you, when you get it ^^ i had mine for 2 years now, it sucks ass.
Sold great review man. Iv been researching printers for 3 weeks straight. This is what I'm looking for. Thank you
hahahahaha imagine buying a davinci 1 in 2020
where can i get the internal spool holder print file?
I'm looking for a 3D printer for my projects and I appreciate honest reviews like this one. Thanks and regards from Italy.
No problem man. I've been to Sicily but not actual Italy... It's absolutely beautiful. God bless your beautiful country.
I've been working with the DaVinci pro for over a year now with over 600 hrs of operational time under it's belt and I have yet to find a massive problem with it.
My only complaint is the amazingly hard bed calibration
What kind of nozzle are using for abs and nylon? The one that came with it?
Yes. The one that came with it.
my dad got one brand new at a liquidation place for $300. there were two others. if I had the money I would have gotten one for myself. we are enjoying it, still learning. once simple thing is to put gorilla tape on the ceiling of the printer so the hose doesn't rub on the box structure so much. helps reduce some noise. another way is what we will try to do soon, which is an elbow that helps to angle the hose down a bit to miss the ceiling. it does bite that it can't tell when it jams or runs out (when using generic filament). usually once you get the settings for a filament set right I can trust it, just when switching companies/settings. it does seem to have a power outage resume but never tested it on purpose. my dad let me borrow it for a project with a bunch of parts and I mostly enjoyed it. there was a learning curve that I was behind on for a while. it was nice the amount of settings that could be tweaked to help quality and/or speed. we definitely have not been able to find anything near the market price that seemed to be as well built. the scanner we have never had any luck with but since he and I use engineering software we aren't usually scanning anything. I would like it if the software wouldn't auto-shrink oversized parts. it tends to do it out of proportion and even if you reset the scale it ends up not truly setting it back to original scale. overall my dad and I really enjoy the design and reliability. I love the sturdy case. would put the laptop we use to run the print software right on top and I never worried about it breaking anything. From what I have found with recent searches I still couldn't touch anything for the same price and quality. also it has me really liking a print bed that ONLY moves in the Z-axis. it seems sturdier, allows larger prints without a much larger box, and I think it helps a lot in minimizing ghosting
Slight correction, both eBay and PayPal's protections greatly swing towards the customer rather than seller. Anyone who has sold on eBay as part of their business should know what I mean. As long as the buyer has paid money, they will capital "A" ALWAYS side with the buyer. Even if the person mediating for PayPal knows the buyer is in the wrong or broke some rule, they will flat out say that you need to make the buyer happy. I guess they sorta have to do that for business reasons but still, it can usually be a lot worse for a seller than a buyer to operate on eBay.
Just nabbed one on amazon for $350, really good price for an enclosed open filament, build volume, and heated bed and the only one by a known company that has the laser engraver option for down the road.
One more thing you forgot in the "AWSOME" section, is that you can fit a laser etching module in it. I have it and it works really well. So the nozzle quick-release system is not only for clogged nozzles, you can actualy fit a laser in there!
Very nice video, thumbs up!
Just got one of these a week ago and I've fallen in love. Haven't experienced any major problems. I use a glue stick on the painter's tape and it makes a world of difference with warping. Been printing nonstop almost for 2 weeks. Just ordered the laser yesterday. Like you said people complain but I feel like they must have got a lemon. I've printed so far with cheap Inland filament and the Davinci cartridge. Once I got the temp dialed in on the Inland I haven't looked back. Been using this spool holder www.thingiverse.com/thing:1234196 works perfect
Hello! I think I made a little mistake because I bought the printer already (because of all the features it has that interested me) but I've never printed something with a 3d printer. Do you have a starter video I could watch? And also: the open filament part has instructions of how to install it? As I said I have no idea 😔 but is better dumb for a day than for the entire life. Thank you in advance!
Great review, big thx, I'm considering buying da Vinci 1.0 PRO 3w1 with onboard scanner, which here in EU is significantly more expensive (~1200$) thx again!
Great vid dude!! I personally appreciate your honesty. And ya, haters get all sorts of bees in their bonnets from all kinds of issues that mean they need to do a little fiddling. I don't mind so I think I WILL be getting this one after all. Best filament suggestion for miniature gaming? And I have to say, I have seen ALOT of your airbrushing vids and trust your opinion. Thanks for the airbrushing techniques btw, still LOVE doing tru flame because of you 😉. Keep up the great videos and awesome work, brother. ☺
I'm new to 3d printing. Want to purchase one just for action figures/ statues. Is this capable of printing those from a .stl file or other formats?
unless this will run on simplfy3d I don't see the need to move on from my da vinci aio that I run stock and work around its limits.
Thanks for the review it helped. May I suggest you show on camera what your talking about not just talk about it. For instance you talk about the removable print head, it would have been nice to see how that worked. I just want to impress upon reviewers like yourself that you are our hands and eyes. We want to see every inch of the machine to understand it. thanks
So far first job was great. Since then. The last 3 print jobs pull off of bed after about 5 min and stick to extruder. Any ideas? Heat seat to 90c on bed 212 on extruder
OnlyTheGodlySurvive Get your z Axis set perfectly, or even do it manually (with the gap of a piece of printer paper) if auto calibration doesn't seem to work!
Thanks for taking the time to do a great review.
Just got one yesterday. Did a couple of test prints and dialed in the bed. Printed a 3D scan in ABS tonight and it was near perfect. I worked with two makerbots replicator 2s for the past 4 years. This printer was near flawless on a 2 hour print. I was very impressed.
Great review and it provides comfort about the printer. I got it as a gift and I'm taking my time in learning the workings. Thank you.
Hows the printer still working for you? Its been a couple years since this video was posted, so wondering how it's still working. I want something that's gonna last me for a while.
Does your filament feeder "pop" while the unit makes its first 2 layers? OR do I have something set wrong? Thanks.
when 3d printing nerd made the video saying the issues with the 3d printer, everyone started following his opinion, well that was the stupid part, it was his opinion and his experience with the printer, i didn't have any issue with the davinci 1.0, it only needs maintenance too often
In other words. How do I go about using my leftover filament if the chip says that there is no more filament left in the cartridge?
Please help!!!!
i have the 1.0a i payed $259 on newegg very nice first printer very impressed so far
Hey, where can I find the design for the spool holder you use at 3:46 ? I don't think this file is linked in the description. Thanks for helping me out!
Sorry have to say support "sucks" the software they send you with printer is on a CD not a USB. Not all computers have a CD drive. The program they send you has no way to change settings. Mine keeps crashing and support keeps wanting to log in my computer after 3 times still no luck. I may have to drop 150 just so I have to uses this Simplify3D will work.
Sorry your having a hard time. I'm not a fan of Simplify 3D. I tried it and didn't like it. The Software can be downloaded from their site: www.xyzprinting.com/en-US/software
I use XYZWare Pro. I'm not a fan of their maker software but their slicer works fine for me. I hope this helps.
I started out with ABS. Tried PLA and I found it much easier to work with. Never tried functional parts, though. Just decorative items.
Yes XYZ can print parts well. I have a JR I love, but you didn't tell them about proprietary filament. and XYZ charges 2 to 3x extra for it. and you can buy extra parts. It took them 3 weeks just to make up their mind to send me a new extruder cover that came cracked. So IMO you should tell them it's a great printer IF you hack the filament and to look out for the updates that can brink it if you do. That's why I got the JR it never needs hooked up to a computer so they can't lock it up for using aftermarket filament
I agree with you that it sucks that the da Vinci Jr. has to use proprietary filament but that's not the case for the DaVinci Pro 1.0 3D Printer which is one of its good features.
balance your left and right audio. Listen to the auto cal. with headphones.... back and forth as you move your head
so can you print tpu!? lol i fly quads and i really wanna get into this. im trying to commit to purchase but havent yet.
I was worried about some of the negative reviews but your video convinced me. Bought on Newegg for $350
Just got a DaVinci Pro 1.0 printer about a week ago. This video definitely made me more confident in my purchase. Great Stuff!!
say bro...could you let me know WHERE to order the laser for this 3 in one pro....can't seem to find it. it would be really helpful. thanks brother.
Hey man I know this is an old video but can you tell me where you got that spool holder model?
I love your review... It is in fact what made up my mind to buy this printer. I do have a concern about customer support. I have been in support for more than 30 years in one fashion or another. The printer came into me defective. I contacted support and was told that I should return it to Amazon. Well They had none left. The problem was simply the print head. It had a bad heater in it. I bought this for a project that we have going on and needed to use it when I purchased it. XYZ refused to do anything with the head. I had to return this one and they would review it and possibly send me a new one. I offered to pay for a new one and have them credit me when this one was sent back. That was not accepted.
Not saying that you did not have an excellent experience with them. I however have had a horrendous experience and have yet to have it solved. Their only solution is for me to send my print head back (Which I have had to re-work to get it working) or buy a new one. Just cant seem to get t a grasp on a company that does not have any way of working on a customer problem. BTW. It has been over a month now and yes. They do stop responding. even without the rants.
After 2 years owning the printer, i only contacted support once, when they gave me no ideas or no solutions, i gave up. Great (somewhat) hardware, crappy software and even worse support.
Edit: save your 200$ and buy a Prusa I3, enclose it and you can print anything you want for cheaper and better. Xyz are the only ones that supply parts and nothing is metric so if anything goes wrong (which it will) you're screwed.
just got the pro and just cannot get the bed calibrate ok what 4 steps circle thanks allan
Hello, may I ask you a question,if I purchased the da Vinci pro 3D printer ,it will automatically come with the laser engraver or I have to pay extra for it?
you have to pay extra
its kind of expensive
Thanks for the solid and honest review. I have been looking for a solid 3d printer for a few years now and will likely be purchasing this printer soon.
I also like your overall delivery of the material. You've got my subscription!
Is it still working man?
My personal advice would be to avoid the DaVinci Pro Jr.
It was a good printer, but the lack of heated bed was its downfall. Eventually there was nothing keeping the print sticking to the bed, which ended up making the print stick to the print head and ALL the plastic was being clogged around the print head. By the time I found it, it was too late. I took off the print head and it looked like a solid hornets nest covering the print head. It took me a few hours getting it off using a Solder iron. THEN the printer kept telling me the spool was out when it was brand new. The NFC chip was glitching and I had enough.
I ordered the Pro 1.0 for that reason. It will solve the first issue, but I’m really hoping that the Spool chip doesn’t glitch this time. Because I really like this brand.
DASH MAK are you smoking somthing the Jr is freaking awasome. You need to tape the bed.
J LBS I did. I even used other adhesives.
Even if you got it to stick, the Jr is not ideal for long prints, because all it takes is part of the print to come off, then the whole thing comes off and it’s a waste.
One thing I have noticed, is that the Pro 1.0 doesn’t print accurate to the file dimensions.
I felt that the Jr printed more accurately.
Since I work with very tiny designs, the Pro 1.0 is not ideal.
I’m just going to get an ultimaker one day and not deal with this shit.
Nice review! I'm definitely going to have to get one now. Ya one thing I do is when I see a comment that is completely emotionally driven and that is usually pretty quickly obvious, I just stop reading and skip the comment. So many people running around having baby fits over everything. Telling people that their opinions are wrong because they differ.
Da Vinci Pro really seems to have all the features I want in my next printer. And I have my tinker 3D printer. I want a 3D printer that I haven't redesigned with my experimental parts and is just a stock workhorse. :)
Yeah... The comments are all BS... Once you know what's going on it's a great piece of gear. I'm going to do a follow up because I''ve figured out all the issues and it's a great printer...
So Badopcode did you get the printer? how is it?
0:35 the good the bad and the ugly
Yup. Thanks.
wow thanks man I've really been eye balling 3d printer your review really helped.
I’m just glad you can use 3rd party filament lol
Also right now it’s 299 at b and h so yeah
10,000 subs with like 7 videos _ may I ask what’s b and h?
Excellent review man. I do have a dumb question. If I use the exterior spool holder, how does that work with the cartridge chip? Are you printer without the chip?
Damian Roman the Pro doesn't require a cartridge to be installed, so no chip required, but it will detect low filament and auto set temps if you are using a cartridge.
Thank you for your response. I install the cartridge without the chip and it has been working fine. The only problem i have now that is hard to tell how much filament I have left in the spool.
I have never printed with PLA, I've heard is easy.
How far away can the pc be ?
Perhaps a 20' USB extension cord ?
It is a long USB cable. LOL.
Friend, Can I use any kind of glue tape? or is there a specific glue tape that I need to use in the table?
Blue tape, that's 3m masking tape, comes in many widths and sizes
nice video mate. like your enthusiasm ! subscribed.
Lijed the review bought the printer am trying to find the filiment guide file.
Here you go: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BPlSAwZsmONMMxxwbVorjEqyz3qKMNfF?usp=sharing
Would love one but here they're NZ$1400.00
new to this, do you get the software with the printer?
It's $350 on Amazon right now
Thank you. can u help me set it up
I read that the printer only accepts their own supplies and software.
No. That's not true. Both the Davinci Pro and Davinci Jr Pro both accept any filament you put into it.
As far as software. I believe you can use Simplify 3D if you want to. I just use the software that comes with it. The software that comes with it works great. Remember, the software with the printer just makes it print the model. You design the model in 3D Design Software which is separate.
Does it read g-code
Thanks for the review!
salut , ça aurai était mieux avec la traduction ?
those camera angles though
Can you use 1kg spools in the internal holder
You should be able too
Great video, thanks for sharing.
No prob. Thanks.
Thank you for doing this vid!
what about the junior model?
Works ok. I would assume it's like it's big brother. They're decent printers. Just a bit slow.
DO NOT BUY:
ITS BROKEN WHEN IT ARRIVES ON YOUR DOOR EVEN AFTER THREE TIMES. DON'T LET THESE VIDEOS TRICK YOU.
Boi stfu
Ok Jim Carrey
Spot on. love your work
Thx
It's a been a while but I have a guy that has created a nozzle modification that allows the 1.0 pro to use mk10 nozzles and he would like an honest review of he sends you the kit.
How much did they pay you for this review ;)
