If you have any used EEPROMs, you could try decapsulating them like Flylogic does ( _name=device-teardowns) and have a look at the die under a microscope to see if you can find a munufacturer name or part number.
As an owner of dimension 3d printer, that works on stratasys system, I am very interested in discovery you made. At this point I would like to ask, if this also works on dimension bst 768 printer.
With best regards Jernej
Hello, Arduino Enthusiast here,
Would someone please help me or point me in the right direction to figure out how to read the hex values of the chip. I have an arduino, a 4.7k resistor, a multimeter and the small GF201 switch with the eeprom on it. THough I have all of this, I cannot figure out which pins to connect to, or what code I should be using in the arudino IDE. Any help would be much appreciated
I would like to reload the chip on a stratasys spool to reuse the material left on the spool. I am using an arduino uno with a maxim ds2433 eeprom to read/write the .hex file in an attempt to reload the chip. Any advice on the code to make this happen?
Correct, you need to get an EEPROM dump before you start using a new cartridge. There is no way to refill a cartridge chip unless you read out the EEPROM when new (unless you work for Stratasys and have access to the program that generates the EEPROM data).
Have Blue, could you detail where to cut the trace / use a 12V power source? I was under the impression one simply had to connect the ground (to pin 3), and a 4.7k ohm resistor between data and pin 4.
Hello I have a Dimension Elite, and during the operation the power was cutted. The machine starts but the display didnt show anything. I do the Cycling Power procedure but, the machine dont power off. Some can help me with problem?
Thank you, yesterday we connect a Keyboard and monitor and we saw that one of the file its damage. To repair this file I need a password, to enter into the repair console, but I dont have one. Do you which can be password or where can I find it?
I know the hard drive is on its way out (noisy!), and have tried to get a ghost image of it before it dies with little success as it skips some partitions saying they are damaged. could this be the problem? Thanks!
Im Daniel, from Buenos Aires Argentina.
I have read your explanation and was enjoy it, English isnt my lenguage, but I understood in genral.
I dont know nothing about electronic, but I looking for about haked a uprint material chip , and you give me a good information about Bloson material.
I by pass the security equipment, and could used a genric material in the machin, but I couls made this in the mechanical way .
The proces its not complicate, you need put a original spool and when the equipment pull the material in, you must disconect the house and at the same time introduce by the house the generic material, when the generic material arrived to the extruder the original one stop and the machine pull for the genric one, during the construction proces the counting stop , you preserve the total live of the original spool and chip but used the generic one.
Introduce the original material cartridge in the machine and charge it, the filament will into the machine and go out ( becouse you desconected the hose).
When the material go out you must push the generic material into the machine until will be catch for the extruder motor, at this moment the original material stop, becouse the extruder motor take que control and pull the material, but are pulling the generic one,
I was wondering if you could post a detailed how to of how you got it to work for you. I saw you responded to Fabiano about what you did but was hoping you could explain it in more newbie friendly terms. Thanks!
Anyhow I have been in touch with Bolson, and for the last year and a bit, and they have said there material for the uprint is not far away, however that is always what they say. I even offered to buy a chip re-programmer from Bolson with no luck.
Hey guys, I write from Argetina, I have a SST768 and in my country it costs a cartridge around $ 600, so using it is very expensive, I have carefully read the post for reusing the cartridges but it is very difficult for those who have no knowledge electronica. They may do a step by step tutorial to do so?
hello peter i am based in Argentina, and I have a 768 now that I have to calibrate, it is used machine. Could you share the Maintence Manual with me. We have no manual down here. Also you advice buying the material from inquired or hacking the machine? Thanks. Jos
What would be great if those who made experiences with different materials could set up a table with sources, quality evaluation and usage hints, so that others (including me) could more easy gain from those experiences.
So far we have used original Stratasys materials, Bolson and noname chinese ABS, all with good results without changing parameters. To be more productive here, I probably could play around with the MARACA tool, if I could get hold of it, too.
In the moment we are looking for good and cheaper breakaway support material. Any good source in Europe known ?
hope you could help out as our BST 768 stopped to work. I assume there is something wrong with the alignment before starting to build the part.
Whenever were are starting a printout the BST 768 starts to work, the build platform is moving around for some seconds and then the system shows CODE 14,100 on the LCD display and the BST 768 is rebooting.
Hello all.
We have a Dimension Elite that we are working over. We successfully installed the rc.local trick to remove the internal cartridge logs, but have been having problems dumping the cartridge chips. We have tried both the arduion approach (1 wire interface etc), and the DIAG port trick. The DIAG report does not echo anything back, and the chips respond with all zeros (including the ROM portion), so it feels like we are doing something wrong on both fronts.
I always used a cheap USB-1WIRE dongle to connect and read/write the chips. BUT, we always are using the DIAG terminal interface as well.
Is the DIAG not answering anymore or just not giving back any EEPROM data ?
Thanks all for all the wonderful information but I am having problems with hacking a dimension 1200. I have followed all the procedures and no go. Has anyone out there simplified the procedure any more? When I try and re-flash the chip it just sits there and does nothing. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Just in case anyone wants to play with the board. It does have a compact flash slot on the back to use a solid state card. IDK why they would put a hard drive in this thing if they could have used that instead.
Just for fun. I think I might up the memory in this thing from the 128 to 512 and DD the drive to a CF card. I wonder if I could order something from Advantech with a newer pc on card that would work with this thing. Probably a waste of time. But I just want to mess with it.
HI,
i have just purchased a BST 768 printer and was wondering if anyone could help
with a a problem I have. when you try to build It shows error 14-21
and shuts down, I have contacted Sys in the UK but have had no reply.
is it possible to obtain a copy of the manual for this machine.
I have a copy of the service manual for the uprint range. but the machines are to
dissimilar for it to be of any use.
i just got that advise that my Printer is to old aged ? Any one here who could help? I just dont get any data. Is there a way to get the Data direct from the Chip? I hope anybody could help! Thank you!
Hi all,
i have hacked the encryption ! ?
the ds-chip-key is not the one the Machine remembers, it is as Serial-Number inside the encrypted block and the chip-key is Part of a bigger Encryption-Key ?
It is possible to reuse the chip again and again !!!
it would also be very difficult for SSys to keep track of the refilled Chips.
What Do You mean?
Should I Start a Chip-Refill-Service?
Refilling is resistant against Firmware-upgrades ?
You can test me ?
Send me a Chip-Dump with the Chip-Key and wait for a response ?
The De/Encryption uses a key split into
a) a machine-key
b) the chip-serial
c) fixed parts of the Dump
These 3 are brew together and the resulting Block
contains a 64-bit (Material)-Serial-Number you can find in the logs of the Machine when changing the Material ?
this Mat-Serial and Materialammount is rememberd encrypted in the system.dat ( this behaviour seems to be different in newer firmware as SSys has obviously reacted on the Hack described here )
I used the diagnostics port to copy the eprom from one fresh cartridge onto an old cartridge. I then rebooted, which deleted /system.dat.
However, the printer now thinks that the cartridge is empty, and the eprom contents have been changed!
I saw a different way of hacking machine. Instead of writing on the EEPROM directly, we can control the machine and ask the machine to overwrite EEPROM. It seems promising.. I would like to know your comment on this
Hmm, I have some inconsistencies on my hard drive preventing the printer from starting and it is asking me to manually do a repair. But to get to the command prompt to do so it is asking for the root password. The only other option is to reboot which starts me at square one. Any ideas?
I seem to be having trouble dumping the system.dat file. Can someone please walk me though exactly how to delete this file? and/or how to use the rc.local? I am quite new to Linux and can only do a few basic things. I can get as a far loging into root and then I seem to get lost. I tried this command but i dont think it did anything:
