Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

What can I do the get rid of the sawtooth edges on the cube?

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.

W, that looks like you've got too much wax paper between the cheese slices. Is that occurring on every layer or on alternating layers? How many outside shells on that print? Does that same issue happen with less than 100% infill?

It is staggered on layers and is exactly where the preview has retractions. Two shells. Yes until no infill.

Gawd, it's still going.

Can't wait to see what the final readout is. I'm fairly certain we're at probably 20 hours and we're at 80%.

What are you printing?

Problem on the QIDI X-ONE. I was doing a long print and I think the X stepper overheated. The gantry got stuck to one side and was real hard to move. turn the power off then back on and it moves freely but the motor was very hot.

How can I turn down the current to it if that is a good thing to try? It is a Marlin type board I believe. The scripts in S3D are very minimal due to it being a pre-release profile I am testing.

I remember some of you doing this on the Tech-1.
Maybe there is something else I should look at?

Thanks.

I was printing one of these: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1065206

I went for maximum size on the Qidi. 25 Hours, 36 minutes. Looks pretty good, I'll get a picture tomorrow.

Sweet, what color filament?

I am liking the look of these. Not sure on why it's called flex anymore though.
It is compatible with the QIDI but the temp sensor issue would be a pain in the ass.
Did anyone use these on the QIDI yet?

I had not seen anyone mention it, but Flexion now has the high temperature version of their extruder up on their website at https://flexionextruder.com/

I found the chart at the bottom very interesting.


Product Description


High-temperature 3D printer extruder upgrade or retrofit kit for common 3D printers. This upgrade allows printing of materials at up to 290°C. The barrel is designed in collaboration with Micro Swiss. The finned mounting block has several advantages:

• Better thermal performance
• Visibility of extruder (you can remove your stock heatsink – but continue to use the fan)
• Easy removal of the hotend without disassembling the motor and extruder (tool access between fan blades)

Really cool. Just ordered the lights.
