Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

The only problem with getting the MicroSwiss conversions for the QIDI is the thermal tubes don't fit very well in the Cooling bar. The tubes on the Qidi are just a little bigger, so the Microswiss fit very loosey and this affects the effectiveness of the cooling bar. A lot use a mount I make to install the Microswiss hot ends, just know that you can't put your stock ones back in with it though.

I've kind of skimmed through the 300+ pages, but I haven't found this, so I'm hoping someone will confirm for me.

I've got a Qidi Tech 1 on the way. I've heard a lot about getting the Swiss all-metal hotend kit. Which one do I need? I've seen a MK10 and some others, but they don't really specify and I'm not sure what to look for.

Awesome, thank you! I'll probably hold off for now. I had a previous 3d printer that's got broken and unreplaceable parts, so I have a whole lot of PLA filament left over that I can use. I shouldn't need the all-metal hotend for a while, anyway.

I noticed that too. I just put a shit load of thermal grease on it. How can I get one of your cooling bars?
