    Nice design, I like a good hinge. Yes I'm odd.

    I've gotten away from modded hinges for the moment though, I've attached Neodymium magnets to my hinges so the door stays open when I lift it and...

    If you persevere with it Fusion is actually really good. Some things really don't seem to obvious (or a bit blinking backward in some cases) but it's getting better with every update. I was almost...

    I'm inclined to agree, the more I look into it the more I think it's a firmware rather than hardware issue.

    For what it's worth regarding the firmware resetting a couple of pages back. I've tried...

    I think you're right in that sf is an x3g system through and through.
    But as gcode and x3g are mainly different in that gcode is plain text and x3g is binary, the same rules and constraints are...

    Sleep? Lucky you :D

    That's basically the same setup as me. I've been using those settings for ABS all along, with only minor changes depending on the brand of filament I'm using.

    It makes sense, well your logic does, Qidis on the other hand doesn't. Why the hell would they deliberately disable fan speed control. I just don't see the reasoning behind that, you can have it on,...

    Yeah, I've just had a look at the motherboard and the FET is there and the connections are all as they should be, so that rules that out, it's definitely a software thing. I'd love to be able to see...

    Ok, so not that I'd need to but I can confirm what DA is saying, with the Qidi it's all or nothing no matter what you try for the cooling fan.
