@Kevin at BCH Thanks so much (from a former Tarheel). My order will be placed on the 3rd of May when I get paid. I decided to finally get going on the new hobby, but I didn't want to jump ahead and blow up my printer. This is where you have been a blessing. The first video was a great walk though. I placed my CISC board between a sheet of folded laminating plastic in the front of the printer. From what I'm reading in the groups, this has killed so many printers. I feel that when the printhead is sealed, I will be pretty safe, We shall see in a few days.
Just placed my order. Can't wait to finish and start printing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You definitely saved my printer. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have read over a dozen fried printer or printhead posts, just in the last week. Keep up the great work. You definitely made a new fan.
Kevin, what about using a silicone conformal coating? It's commonly to make drones waterproof. I don't know if the electronics need to be able to interact with the air, but conformal coating tends to be super sturdy and the commercial stuff includes a florescent dye so you can actually check that you have perfect coverage. I know the print head is controlling flow of ink though so I'm not sure if it would work or not.
Dude, great minds! This is definitely something that needs to be looked into. It crossed my mind to coat my printer's motherboard with it since I have already moved the CISC, so it is safe. And I still plan to silicone seal the print head. But it actually crossed my paranoid mind to coat the motherboard as one last layer of protection against ink spills, splashes, etc. Kevin, do you think it would be safe and actually beneficial to apply a conformal coating to the printer's motherboard? Inquiring minds want to know. 🤔
Thanks for the subscription! The conformal coating will be a little overkill. I use regular electronic-grade silicone sealant, and it works well. Easy to put on and easy to take off. The advantage of conformal silicone will be the shortened cure time. Guilty as charged: I usually just put the printhead in while it's wet. Just make sure DO NOT use the spray type, and use the sealant, not glue.
Hello Kevin, Thanks for sharing this video. I want to buy this model for DTF printing, but I am stuck looking for a RIP compatible with the Japanese version, the Epson Colorio EP-50V. Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
SAD. the printhead cover isn't available anymore on the website. there is one in there, but I saw its different one. please is there somewhere else where I can buy the one you used? thanks
Yes, it's now version 2. The whole case doesn't work because it mess up with the alignment. There is an updated video here: ua-cam.com/video/tAN3dXe8IT4/v-deo.html
Hi Please help, I'm getting this error: 'PAPER OUT IN PAPER CASSETTE.' It keeps coming up on the converted DTF XP 15000, and I'm using AcroRip 10.5. The printer was working for a while, but then I encountered this error.
Hi Kevin, First I would like to thank you for all of your great and very helpful videos. I did not realize there was a step 2 video and tried cleaning my ink pads and flooded my ink carriage with cleaning fluid and now it rear paper jams and had a color blinking ink levels on the LCD. Do you think I ruined the print head or CSIS board? Any help would be great! If I did fry the CSIS board do you know where I can get another one? Thank you again and as soon as I fix this I will follow these instructions like I should have to begin with
Determining the issue is challenging. If you encounter an 0003x error, it likely indicates a blown mainboard, which is a reparable problem. Nevertheless, if the mainboard remains unaffected, you might face more significant difficulties. The situation varies significantly and requires thorough investigation.
@bchtechnologies your step 1 video link does not work. it says it is private. What happened to your tutorial of combined videos to convert the xp15000 to dtf?
i got the same problem did not see the first part then fry my board cause of it not sure where to find the part one on my second printer een after waterproof it so please make this part not private cause i got no clue what to do with the csic ???
@@guapo5852 @bchtechnologies had a video at one point on how to convert the printer. It was 30 min long with good details. I don't know why it got taken down. I think it's the video that's private. I haven't converted my printer bx I want to review that video as well. Yea, I couldn't find that part on his site either. I think we can just silicone the circuit.
@@gilbertlopez7502 i was thinking to same i just have to get a other xp 15000 today and im so scare to do it again so not sure if we can add silicone i try to remove on my broken one to practice and its not that easy its a little scary to remove the cable so i thonk i will try just silicone it but im scared lol
@@guapo5852 I reviewed this video again. really step one is to do the chipless set up. there are other videos online to do this. Its fairly simple. the CSIC board its what is under the ink cartridge. Watch the beginning how he removes it and tucks it into the printer under the front. You dont need the print head protector cover he showed. In another video he has, he just put silicone around the printe head without the cover.
love the video wish i had this before i blew my printhead. ordering a new printer and going to seal it
Thanks for the subscription! Happy printing!
Finished the first part last weekend. This will be this weekend's project. Thanks for all of the knowledge that you share.
You are very welcome 🤗. Good luck 👍
@Kevin at BCH I didn't realize I needed a part. Oh well, as soon as I order the part, I'll finish the upgrade. Thanks again.
You are welcome! I will throw in some extra parts for you!

will you have the printhead protector cover back in stock ?

Do you make those covers ? Can’t find anything like it online
I can’t find the link for the cover for this on the site
Do you need to let it dry before you turn it back on

SAD. the printhead cover isn't available anymore on the website. there is one in there, but I saw its different one. please is there somewhere else where I can buy the one you used? thanks

If the cable is sealed can you still remove or switch the printhead?
When will it be back in stock

The link to the protective cover guard shows an error. I do not see the piece you used in accessories either. :/
Where are you located where I can send my printer to you and you can waterproof it for me please?
Ive been seeing people saying the silicone seal cracks causing problems to the printhead is that true or am i hearing things?
Do you sell the xp 1500 printer which you convert to dtf
