That's exactly what I recommend and what I've been doing with my Qidi since I got it. Hundreds of filament changes so far and never had an issue, so I'll stick to it. Don't see the point of the...

To hell with practical, blue always looks cool. I'd swap my white over for blue in a heartbeat. In fact, I may just have to do that at some point :)
I'll have to give Reprapper a go, after several brands and complete dissatisfaction from the ones I've had from Amazon, including eSun, I've switched to 3DFilaPrint for as much of my filament as...
The cog wheel just looks like it needs a few more top layers.
Other than that, download a calibration cube and print it with just 1 wall, set to the same diameter as your nozzle, so 0.4. No infill...
You're probably in one of the best places to learn right now. Most of us here are happy to offer advice for any aspect of printing.
It might not be hands on, but basically everything can be...
Aye, definitely speaking the truth there. I'm the same, I've been able to successfully print on all of the surfaces I've used, though I wouldn't change what I use now.
But getting that bed levelled...
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...
I'd like to see you make a printer with a bigger build volume, properly big, I'm thinking something as close to 300x300x300mm as you can get. I'd certainly buy it I'm pleased with my Qidi dual...
I've just ordered the wanhao i3 V2 as a second printer myself, heard lots of good things about it and it's very reasonably priced.
It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I'll pop up some first...
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.
I also use...
There's definitely something odd about it, for so many of them not to be using it. Unless it's because the 7.8 f/w isn't finalized but than why use it in the first place. some of the others that have...
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.
I've been doing some digging on the matter and it...
I know it's off subject, honest I'll stop rambling.
But that's just crazy, honestly the past few years the world has gone crazy and the next few, now that's a scary thought. Trump as president?? UK...
Aye it's changed days now with, well everything :D
Think we'd probably just call it a council estate, well that or a shit hole, ha.
I can get away with that, I was born in one and spent the first...
Yeah it's crazy how wildly different various post services can be. Our Royal Mail isn't as bad as people like to joke about but it's definitely not as good as a few years ago before they started...
Good it's not just me with these forums then, I was starting to wonder (I take a LOT of morphine among other things, not for fun :D) works much better on my iPhone. The forums, not the morphine, HA....
For your pics, just upload to Flickr or somewhere and use the link to the photo to embed it.
For switching filaments over, I just snip off the current filament a cm or two above the extruder...
Just thought I'd throw this up while there's a print on the go and you'd only seen printing being done with rafts on this stuff.
This is a quickie I'm doing for the mother-in-law (no jokes thank...
Funny, in my short but colorful life I was once an engineer, before I moved on to, well that's a long story, so I tend to assume the same thing. Well that or there's just no explanation for it, I...
I'm using an old iPhone with the Manything app, 24/7 free live streaming (so long as you've and old or spare device to use as a cam) but it works great, I can check on my print progress any time any...
