Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

[write2dgray]

I've printed a few rolls of PETG and it can be difficult to remove any stray bits of support or imperfections. It binds so well. The majority of supports break clean free, but if you have overextrusion or a glob binding it on then it's time to break out the scalpel and files. It also doesn't bridge as well as ABS or PLA, requiring more top layers, more infill, and more support in my experience.

I am looking for advise.
My printer seems to print on a angle.
Everything seems to lean at a angle to the left (X-) direction.
I did place the model on the bed but it still seems to print at a slight angle.
Using S3D.
Does not seem to make a difference using PLA or ABS.
The print I am running now looks like it is starting to lean back to the X + direction.
Glass bed is clamped tight so I know its not moving.
This print is PLA bed temp 60 Extruder temp is 200
Any help would be appreciated.

before I take everyone's time up.
I found that the plate was in fact moving on me even though I had the corner clamps locked in good.
Put some tape on each corner and started over.
At 33% done now and it looks very good at this point.
Thanks

Looking for an alternative, meaning cheap, for Ninja - SemiFlex. Looking to make shock-vibration feet so it just needs to be a bit soft. The SemiFlex works nice but it is expensive!!

Where are you buying the SemiFlex from?
I have been out for a bit and I am getting caught back up. I want to print some flexible things.

For NF colors I don't use a lot of but like to keep on hand, Amazon has these short rolls.

How does the new MG flex material price compare?

I have not looked and forgot about it. Haven't paid much attention to MG since they won't respond to emails about filament issues. I'll take a look though. Thanks for the reminder.
