Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

Nice!
What is the gear form? I think I have seen it somewhere but I am not sure where.

Ok, time for wood. First a calibration cube to see what happens. Same rough edges I always get!
Then something real and it worked pretty good.

I disconnected the USB cable for the RPi, I did leave it on to use the cam function to monitor.
Prints from SD card all the way through now. Oddly enough my standard PLA/PHA settings are no longer working after dialing it with the Benchy model. All sorts of sagging.
I will lower the extrusion temp to 195 from 200.
Bed is at 40.
Ah well. I just want to print my cable chain. I dont want to have to print it in ABS which prints great in the QIDI all day long, print after print. I dislike the fumes. I don't feel like using my PeTG for my cable chain. LOL
I redid my OctoPi so on to my next test print. The Gold filament test print went great. Could not get it to print a cable chain piece same settings. Went back to the blue, same settings as I dialed in before. Weird slop.

You know what I'm not sure if I disconnected the USB cable from the OctoPi during my from SD print test. I shall test this way after I sleep.

It's just an item from Thiniverse, "elliptical gear". It spins pretty cool.

Cool.
I will see about doing one.

My OctoPi is toast. That update that I cannot ID has broken its functionality.
All I remember seeing it is said something about it fixing file names. For some reason since this update it pauses and kills prints every time from OctoPi. If I do SD card it works. I have even created a brand new OctoPi image and set it up. Same dam errors.
Says waiting to unpause from LCD I click resume on LCD panel it starts and does it again a couple mins later. Print gets ruined and it never finishes.
I am no pleased to say the least.

So, to get my plugged throat fixed I had to (eventually) take a hex wrench, heat it up with a lighter, and jam it through.

Whee!

So, hopefully I'm back in business. Can anyone suggest a decent clip system/object to hold the damned door open for me? The first one I made just snapped. And I didn't like it much anyway.

Glad you got it cleared.
This is the door clip I use.

I use that hinge set too. Really nice when I'm going from ABS to PLA.

Great hinges.

I took the advice of someone else on this thread and simply tightened the middle tension screws on the hinges to keep mine up. Works great.
