There are two possible ways of reading the NFC Tag. A detailed datasheet of it can be found here: … 15_216.pdf The NFC Tag used by xyzprinting for their spools it the NTAG213. The following is a(n) (in)complete collection of everything gathered during the last months.

Because not everyone is happy with this some awesome people decided to try to hack it. The problem now with that system is that you have to use the filaments from xyzprinting, and are not allowed to use different (and cheaper) ones. With the help of an NXP PN512 the printer reads the NFC Tag which ships with the original spools and determines various values from it, like total length, remaining length, color and material.

The Da Vinci Mini and the Da Vinci Jr are both using chipped filaments from xyzprinting. Please see here: … -tag-swap/Ĥ.4 Blocking internet access and firmware updates We have another thread up and running where people can exchange used (unlocked!) Tags. But there is still hope for you, please go to the … -requests/ Topic and help us cracking the password and pack algorithms, so that we can create our own tags from blanko tags! WARNING: Currently there is no known way of resetting the spool if you have a Da Vinci Mini (w)! And if you have Da Vinci Jr (w) with a Firmware above 2.2.7 it is also not possible to reset the NFC Chip. Like an arduino, emutag and the software to modify the emutag. You can find an instructable by cgrillo here: … -Printers/ The only downside of that Method is that you have to buy hardware for it. The full credit goes to the awesome community in … dge-reset/ which did all the work to give us the opportunity to hack our devices, and to break free from the DRM Filaments from xyzprinting.Ĭurrently there is a solutions for everyone! We can emulate a NTAG213 with the help of EMUTAG.


Note: I did not find out anything (maybe a little bit) about the things which will follow below. Please read the whole post before asking questions! If you have read the post already see the changelog at the end of the post if something new has been added. Please also note that some of the techniques described here could void your warranty. The topic regarding the cartridge reset got rather long (+48 Pages) so i took my time and summarized everything in it to give you a better overview what you can do, and what you can't do with your Jr / Mini.ĭisclaimer: I am not responsible for spool errors, hardware bricks or any other errors you may occur after reading this summary. LAST UPDATE: SEE CHANGELOG AT THE END OF POST
