As I am looking to order some glass build plates, I had a few questions:
• Do you guys think that a 1/8" borosilicate glass will be thick enough?
• What do you use to block the Z sensor?
• Do...
What do you guys use to help ABS stick to glass?
My issue is that ABS sticks too well to the plastic surface that comes with my QIDI and my metal bed has high points in the middle and low points...
I had a similar issue but mine was the back side and not the front. I lowered the temperature in 5 degrees increments and ended up at 210-220 for PLA depending on brand, I also adjusted the bed...
Will you guys share a photo of how much of the thermal padding you use so the heat will still transfer to the glass? Thanks!
I started with it at 90% height but the corners lifted so I lowered it instead of getting the nozzle even closer since it was very tight against the paper already. I will change it back to see if it...
Thanks for the tip on the thread!
My first layer is set at 80-85% for a larger print, 5.5" X 5.5" base. And nozzle is a tight thin printer paper away from the bed. I was thinking that because of...
Great, I will search up the sailfish calibration guide. And no the print sticks fine, I just peeled them off to try out different multiplier settings.
Thanks!
I just switch over from Makerware to Simplify3D and have been experiencing rough, wrinkled first layer with plastic crumbs on top. it looks like over extrusion but I am not sure how to adjust for it....
As I continue to work with the printer, I have been able to answer some of my own questions and thought that I would share what I have learned through trial and error. I am not sure if these are the...
Hi Erik,
I have the Mac version but not sure if that is what you need?
Hi All, Thanks for all the great tips here! I am new to 3D printing and own a QIDI printer (one week), and this board has been amazingly helpful.
1- I have been able to calibrate everything to...
