The downside of this is that the colours dont match if you want to keep the stepper motor coil connections correct.

Rejoice Now you have a chance to turn it into something much more versatile.

One of the things I had to deal with was looking after their not inconsiderable fleet of 3D Printers.

In amongst them were two XYZ Printing Da Vinci printers they were coaxed into buying.

The Da Vinci 3D Printers are a good solid frame with some nice componentry but their electronics, software, and filament supply model are truly awful.

If XYZ Printing were wiser they would open up their model to allow the use of any filament and encourage hardware hacking they would sell more of their equipment, and also engender a more positive culture amongst their users.

This is not a quick fix, this is major surgery, and the name FrankenVinci pretty much conveys what you end up with.

However, by using this guide I hope I can save you a heap of time.

Once you have completed the fix, it will open up the potential for much better control of your printer and greater functionality.

It will be able to run all of the common Reprap software such as Cura, Repetier, ReplicatorG, PrintrunPronterfaceSlic3r, and take as wide a range of model formats as are currently available.

It will also be able to run any 1.75mm filament including PLA, ABS, and any of the more challenging filaments simply because it allows you direct control of all of the heated parts.

Finally, it wont hassle you about upgrading to the latest version, (Well actually Cura will, but thats not going to screw up your machine if you do upgrade).

Having forced air cooling, I suspect the motherboard and associated drivers are less likely to cook than on the original Da Vinci motherboard.

The image below shows the connections to the original Da Vinci motherboard.

Ultimately some of them will not be needed at all and can be completely removed.

I snipped the wires off the plug with the two yellow 12V wires and two black ground wires and connected them to the supply block.

I crushed these into a metal tabs that could insert into the screw terminals for RAMPS port D08.

In hind sight I would have used the existing wire bundle shared with the extruder thermistor and filament counter device but at that time I had not quite traced out what was happening in the extruder head with the little circuit board that the bundle connects to.

In the original seven wire connector, the fan wires are the green and the yellow ones (I think).

The 3D printed holder for this was based on Schlotzz - RAMPS 1.4 Fan Mount, 40mm, parametrizable.
