Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

[migdobbs]

It has MK10 extruders.
I would recommend you upgrade to these http://www.micro-swiss.com/#!product...e-cece31e3ba6f
More then just a nozzle but it eliminates the PTFE tube which will allow a little higher temp.
The stock nozzles are brass and will wear out with some of those filaments.

What other modifications have you done to your printer?

If you go back in this thread I made a list of printed parts that I recommend to help with filament path alignment.
I only modified the extruders, firmware and use a glass build plate.

Oh yeah I saw those and pretty much did those too. I did opt for the magholder build plate. I do wonder why are my prints sticking too muh to the plate? I have the plate at 20c. Anyone knows why they overstick?

Hi all, pretty interested in this printer but it's hard to find pictures of sample prints. Would some of you be willing to share more and give a perspective after the new printer vibe has worn off? This forum seems to be the only active one about the qidi!

I have a few pictures of things I printed with my Qidi. I did 4 Tardis's for friends and all of the red parts on the CTC Printer and the windows where for a friend that does highly detailed railroad layouts. I don't have pictures of everything.

I am not getting very good results with semiflex. I get a GREAT skirts, then it goes all funky and sputters, like it isn't consistently extruding...

It is gappy, and works for a little but, then it sputters, then good then sputter lol.

Can you share your settings? Like screen shots of the pages? I would LOVE it, and you lol if you could. I am even using the upgraded extruder from thingiverse. It feeds great when you are doing the 'load filament' and like I said when it lays down the skirt but then sucks after that lol.

Also only 205???

I see everyone using 250 lol, thta is what I am trying, I will try that next! I am also runing SUPER slow at like 600mm/min lol.


HELP!!!! lol

These are the setting that I'm currently using:
Nozzle temp:205
heat bed: 20
These settings might not be completely correct but I was able to successfully print a vase shape. I'll post a picture of it later today.

You have the maghold as well? I LOVE mine! I had a rough first print because I didn't have it lined up well, but since then it has been amazing!!! I only wonder how hard it will be to replace the buildtak lol.
