Hey guys, I wanted to give everyone an update on my printer. I swapped my PLA filament to the left extruder, I replaced the glass bed with a "smoother" borosilicate one (that is overall better...

Hey guys, I wanted to give everyone an update on my printer. I swapped my PLA filament to the left extruder, I replaced the glass bed with a "smoother" borosilicate one (that is overall better...
Whoa guys, sorry for not coming back to this sooner. I got so much useful ideas I hadn't thought of. For example, I usually level over the areas I know my test will print. I never thought about...
Hi guys, I have a bit of a weird problem I could really use your help with. My QIDI 3D Dual Extruder is having issues printing in the center of the bed. A little background - a few months ago I...
Hi guys, I just finished a print successfully and tried to do another but my right extruder (same one that just printed) is making a clicking sound and no filament is coming through. I tried using...
Doesn't it do it automatically? When I export with S3D, I get a .gcode and a .x3g file. Two files total.
To be safe, I would definitely just use SD card. Alternatively you can use Octoprint. Or you can use a Toshiba Aircard (not sure of the exact name) which lets you "beam" gcode files from your...
Thanks for your help. Can you give more details about your platform kit? I know you mentioned in PM to look at the past posts and I did. All I could find is satisfied customers saying they liked it....
That sounds good. Is the 6x9" size slightly too large or slightly too small for the build plate? And how do you account for this? Just use clips that can adjust for the size difference? Also, why...
Ok this is a weird one but can someone tell me the exact dimensions of the build plate? I have like four sets of notes written down and they range from anywhere from 9x6" to 230x150, to 228x149, etc....
Is the hairspray just for ABS on glass or do you use it for PLA as well? Is there any reason you couldn't leave it on there permanently instead of cleaning it off?
And while I have you, where did...
Great thanks for the reply. While I was waiting, I just winged it and heated up the bed to 92C, peeled the blue surface off and tried fitting my 1/8" plate. It actually took me all day (in excess of...
Hey guys, been MIA for a while due to a move and having to reinstall Windows. I recently pulled a ABS print of the bed and ripped a hole through my factory blue build surface. The thing is the...
Is there any part of the extruder or hot-end that can be swapped or upgraded on the QIDI printers? I think you can get a new Microswiss hot end but anything else? I assume not, which is kind of weird...
Wait what? I haven't read through all the posts in this forum obviously but that's a huge claim. Simplify3D is the premier slicer software and I am sure they could come up with troubleshooting tips...
No worries, appreciate anything you can come up with!
Kludge - thanks again for making me that 1/8" shim. Next question, do you know of any corner holders that are designed for 1/8" glass? They all seem to be for 1/4"

Yeah you definitely got lucky with that "defect". There's no extra screw there. Sorry for the bad rotation.

Wait, did you drill a hole through the side panel and run the longer screw all the way through?
Yes, Octoprint works. I've been using it for the past week. I just installed OctoPi on a microSD card and put it on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Logitech webcam. It has some small bugs and limitations but...
Does anyone have a working Cura profile they can share or at least answer some questions about particular settings (ie head offsets)? I don't really care abou Cura as a slicer but I need a working...
Wait, what? Can you explain this? Like jcoachran, it seems like that tiny screw is welded onto the frame. I don't remember seeing a way to even remove it.
Can you post some more shots or explain how you attached the bottom (start) piece?
This is in your start code. What slicer are you using? In your start code, you need to modify it to just point to the right coordinates. Remember it's 230 x 150 with an origin in the center so front...
I know this should be super simple but I want to be prepared before I start taking stuff apart so I hope you don't mind more questions.
Which part exactly are you using for the start (bottom) and...
How is the BuildTak normally attached to the spring steel? Is it just adhesive? By having them not install it, did you get a discount? Or did they include it, but not install it on the plate?
