Anybody have any idea why my print bed would have suddenly pulled enough amps to melt the connector on the main board, and eventually desolder it? I have since repaired it, but I still have no idea...

I have the same problem. I'm a bit confused.

I've been printing small parts on this thing for a while now without any problems, but now that I'm trying to print something large, I'm starting to have a problem. It seems the stepper motor just...

I haven't. Maybe it's time.

Edit: All cleaned up. We'll see how it goes. The PTFE tube seemed awfully tight right near the nozzle. I bored it out evenly, and flipped it upside down putting the...

My printer has been printing great for months, but now every time it cools off, the feeder slips and doesn't feed any filament through until I pull the filament out and reload it again. Now it...

I feel like the interface on my printer is getting slower and slower. Is everybody's interface this slow? It seems like it doesn't even respond when I press the buttons sometimes, but I think it...

Thanks. Any idea what the fins are for?

Which one?

Does anyone have a link to some glass holders (not clips) designed for 1/8 inch glass, or 1/4 inch that includes the CAD files so I can possibly modify them, depending on the program. I seem to...

I just noticed my printer's x-axis rails are completely crooked. It took me a while to notice this because I've been printing very small parts, but once I tried printing something large and square,...

I thought somewhere around 40-50C was recommended for PLA. I've been running mine at 50C.

I'm going to watch mine and see if it behaves the same way, and if it does, I'm going to email their support and get an answer.

Any idea why this thing plays music a couple times in the middle of my print? I know I remember someone somewhere in this massive thread mention something about it being where he had temperature...

That was just my thoughts, since re-engineering sounded like where the suggestions were going. I wasn't saying any of us should do this. I think QIDI TECH should do it; It would be a huge improvement.

How many pages does this threat have to get to before the mods will decide it's time to create a subforum for QIDI TECHNOLOGY printers? It would be nice to have some of these topics divided up into...

I think the platform should just be made stronger, then there wouldn't be a need to remove it at all.

Why would the whole thing just keep melting though? The other times I printed something, it seemed to harden pretty quickly after being printed. I even have the blower fan running.

Edit: Never...

I printed it with those parameters, and it printed just fine. Then I tried again, and it was a completely different story. Now nothing I do will get this thing to print right. Everything just turns...

Alright, I'll try that. I was able to print the whole thing with the standard PLA settings, but yeah, I need to redesign this thing. I'm not sure why I didn't realize how tiny some of the features...

This is so unbelievably frustrating. I have done everything according to the instructions, and since nothing in the instructions explains how to change the temperature of the build platform in...

Haha thanks. I had a feeling the part itself might be a bit of an issue. I might see if I can design it slightly different.

My point wasn't about the machine used; it was about the slicing program. That's why I am going to try ReplicatorG instead.

The object usually needs to be rotated to the proper orientation and set flat on the bed. I designed the part to be printed one way only. So yes, it was rotated and adjusted.

I don't know exactly where that script came from, but my friend uses ReplicatorG and a CTC, and it doesn't do all of that. It moves to one corner, heats up, lays down a skirt, and then starts...

Good luck finding metric screws at Home Depot haha. Ace Hardware actually has a decent assortment of metric screws.
