S3D here. Installed Makerware as the easiest solution to get a USB device driver. To date I have used MW as an .obj to .stl converter.

I most certainly would.
Even for normal material (ABS, PetG, and PLA that is) I have noticed far less issues steming from feeding material since printing and installing these parts.
I have the stock large-tooth gear from Qidi still running on my left side and a low-pro gear on my right side. Both sides are running the feed assembly I linked. Also I changed spring on feed arm for the right side, using same length spring with just a tad less tension. Still enough push to feed great, but keeps soft stuff from getting choofed-up.
These are the only 2 feed gears I have tried so far.
What in the heck is low-pro gear?
I have the new QIDI running and it seems ok so far. I am now trying a print via USB but using my USB extenders that I mentioned some time back. It is two USB ends and a 25 foot CAT6 cable. So far it is working fine. If this works ok then it could be an option to be connected but still have the printer far from the PC.
