I'm fairly technical but relatively new to 3d printing. With the changes in the DaVinci stock firmware, it's become clear to me that sooner rather than later I am going to have to jailbreak my printer. So it's time to start experimenting with a new firmware.
I've gotten to the point where I've just installed the new firmware Repetier 0.91 alpha, installed Repetier host Mac and am left with the question, now what?
The printer is now showing up in my system report as "composite device". Is that normal or do I need to install a driver in my OS X 10.7.5 setup?
I'm reasonably certain that there are a bunch of settings I either need to manually set up or a settings file to load which I don't think I have. I'm having little luck finding this so pointers would be helpful either to get the answers directly or to how tos in order to get my own. I would expect that one davinci 1.0 would require settings much like another so it's not immediately obvious why I would need to reinvent the wheel but perhaps I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated. I expect that I'm not the only new guy on the block.
