Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

Ya not sure why they stuck with the Flexion name since this isn't good at all for flex filaments. lol

LOL yeah, maybe Semi-FlexionHT just didn't have the same 'zing' to it. I think the item that surprised me the most was the PLA. I suppose that must be related to their printing tip / caution regarding the heatbreak position adjustment. What is going on there and why?

Awesome. I'll give that a shot when I get home. Assuming my bright orange Pac Man ghost (left Extruder!) is finished printing when I get there. 20+ hours!

Which piece, exactly, is the heat bar?

I'll post a pic in a little while.

Heat bar would be the square with the two white tabs under it?

[wirlybird]

Yes, that's what I call it anyway! Those are two little pieces of regular paper. I found that was the height I needed.

So, how did the 20 hour PacMan Ghost print do?

[Merijeek]

Well, 10 hours through when I left for work it was fine. But that's with the left, which is the one I didn't have to take apart because of issues.

What does the top of that cube look like? Is it 100% infill? Why is it so tall? A calibration cube is supposed to be 20x20x10. It is helpful to note which axis is which.

Temp is about 20c too low for ABS. Bed is about right. May need to use slurry to keep it stuck.

Ok, back to basics. I went back to Makergeeks white ABS. This prints decent once dialed in.

110 bed, 230 extruder everything else QIDI defaults.
Pics aren't great, white is hard to photograph especially with my phone.

What did you use to get it to stick?

[jfkansas]

Ug, photobucket has turned to poo poo. Wish people would stop using it. Slow, ads, sucks...
