Thanks, that is on my list to try.

After several years of faithful operation, my QIDI Tech only shows blocks on the LCD when I power it up. It did this once before, but after leaving it on for several hours, it started normally and...

No, I didn't have it unplugged during the down time.

After leaving it turned on over night, the next morning the display showed the normal startup menu. Have now printed several things with no...

Thanks. That's my plan and I have already sent an email to Emily. Thought I'd check here for ideas to.

After several months of not printing, I turned my printer on. All I got was two rows of solid block characters on the displays. Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting? Or likely...

Sorry to bug you, but just a friendly reminder. That is of course, unless I missed your message indicating you had already done this.

Would you mind sharing the files? Couldn't find anything on thingiverse that really compared. Thanks, either way.

It was more of a comment on my lack of understanding. How to make a complex shape and extrude it to 3d.

No I didn't buy one, as the local library has one available for use. Yes, I thought they were way overpriced and wasn't considering a purchase, at least not until I had several scans that turned out...

Has anyone printed from a scan using a Makerbot digitizer (or similar)? I have a broken part (crockpot handle) that it too complex for me to try to draw. If so, was the scan reasonable? Any...

Thanks. I use wet/dry "sandpaper" that comes in a role. Its the stuff I use on the lathe to polish metal. I'll try the brushing the acetone on an item to see how that works.

I saw on some...

Is there a thread or website that discusses how to smooth ABS? Or does anyone have some quick pointers? I am not talking sandpaper and files, but with acetone or something similar. Or???

Me too. I haven't had an email notice for days, and then I get 1 earlier today. Then no more.

So that's your calibration cube when printing at 100%. How often do you really print at 100% infill? I would think that you would want to calibrate at the way you normally print, i.e., at the...

What does everyone use to smooth an object once printed (in ABS)?

Who told you that they would provide an upgrade (or refund) if you bought within the last 30 days? The reason I am asking, is that is not the response I am currently getting from them.

Links to the files? Or to the website where they are located. Thanks.

There is a full Kossel kit available at: Autotroph.com. I have no experience with them, just posting a link for info.

I am using S3D and have loaded a large object. When the stl file is loaded it shows just fine. Also included in this initial view is a 3d outline of a box. Does this box represent the build volume...

I got mine roughly two weeks ago from ebay. All axis have 8 mm rods. ebay info claimed it had all of the latest mods, so it would seem that doesn't include the 10mm rods that some are receiving. ...

I used a glue stick for adhesion. The bubble is at the center of the plate. I plan on heating the bed tonsee if I can then flatten the bubble.

I finally had the time to print my first object. It was a design of my own. Printed in ABS at 210 and bed at 110. Came out ok all but the base. As it was my first print, I used the Qidi as...

Ok, I expected the object to change color or in some way to show that it had been selected. Figured out zoom. Have to "pinch" with two fingers on the mousepad to zoom.

Thanks. Double clicking works to open the window on the right where I can scale it. Alternately, when I "select" the object by single clicking on it, nothing happens (no highlighting of the object....

I may be misremembering, but I thought it was possible to scale the object in s3D. If it is possible, how?
