I bought these and they fit perfectly. Three is really more than you need, but two are nice to have. I believe 1/8 is better than 1/4 inch thickness, less mas to heat and cool and less build height...

Wow, I pretty much only print ABS and it's been no problem at all.
I use a borosilicate build platform. I load it up with a nice solid heavy coat of aguanet. One aquanet treatment will work for a...
Another vote for Octoprint here. I posted some setup notes earlier in the thread. Web-based interface and automatic time-lapse generation. I really didn't want to be wearing out that SDCard slot...
You set it in your slicer program. In Simplify3d it's under "Edit Process Settings"->Temperature->"Heated Bed Platform"
You can have it change by layer if you want.
For ABS, I use 110 C for the...
If you print them both at once, you'll only need to wait for the bed to heat up once.
What problem would that solve? I don't get it. Is it for transport or something? Do you take the hood off the top at the same time?
Did they change the door hinge design at some point? I have a fairly new unit and mine came with hinges with an adjustable tension screw. Properly adjusting that screw makes the door stay open by...
Why not just buy something like a Smoothieboard and install that if you want the latest firmware features?
I've built a lot of things with sheet ABS. For that I use Scigrip 2354 which I got at Tap Plastics. It perfectly fuses the parts into a single piece.
It works great on 3D-printed ABS as well,...
I love my borosilicate build plate, but with very thin ABS pieces, I was getting some lifting. A nice solid coat of Aquanet fixed that and seems to last for many prints.
Investors consider it bad for a company to have too much cash sitting around. They expect stocks to outperform money markets. Companies also buy others if they (the buying company) have over-valued...
Try Meshmixer. It's a free download, works well with fusion and has a bunch of nice tools for editing existing models and cleaning them up.
Glass bed holders: I fabricated some small aluminum brackets which bolt onto the bottom corners of the build plate and hold the glas in place nicely. Printing some out of ABS is not really a good...
Here's what I did to make it work:
1. Buy the following harware:
Rasperby PI 3 base model (about $35)
8 GB Micro SD card or larger (about $8)
2.5A micro USB power slupply (about $8)
...
It looks like you can get the same package for a bit more from Amazon if you need it fast....
I got one this week from Amazon and it worked out fine. $699 with free prime shipping. I got the newest version with the 10mm rods. Ordered last Friday and got it on Tuesday.
I got it working! The X-axis end-stop cable was not making good contact on the motherboard end.
I need some help please.
I've had my Qidi for a few days and everything was going great. It's got about 20 hours of total time on it.
Today when I went to start a print, when the printer tried...
Astroprint or 0ctoprint should also work fine using wired networking. Since I got a raspberry PI 3, I had to use wired networking for the initial config because Astroprint requires a special model...
Now I've printed the top half of a case for the raspberry pi 3 using the included PLA (turned out pretty well even though I had the temp too high in the slicer).
I got Astroprint installed in the R...
Hi All,
I'm new here, and just wanted to say hi. After years of putting off getting a 3D printer I finally decided to start off with the Qidi.
I've read a lot about them in the meantime so have...
