The Qidi slicer version of Cura does have a 'Z' axis option if this helps

Try bed temp around 95C.
Drop your speed to 30-35. Slower is better.
Preheat chamber with bed for a good 30 mins before starting print.
On no account open doors until print has finished and...

I think this is a printer specific problem, it didn't happen with either a Raise 3D E2, or BCN W27 Epsilon.
Advice from Qidi is that a different slicer ' might ' improve it but a slicer that will...

Leveling a bed with a feeler gauge will only tell if the bed is flat, not if it is level to the 'X' and 'Y' axis.

If the bed was tilted at 30 degrees it would still show as level using a feeler...

Look in your slicer settings for where you can hopefully change the global 'Z' axis setting.
I think you will have to put a negative input there, just try a small amount each time until you are...

I think this is printer specific because a print with holes in it that I did on a different printer does not show the same problem of raised overlaping extrusion.

Print one of the many leveling tests from Thingiverse or Thangs. Then you will be able to tell if your extruder nozzle is perhaps to high from the bed, or perhaps too close to it.
Plenty of videos...

So basically, you don't know much about 3D printing but you 'have' to write a buyers guide and need other people to give opinions.
Sure beats having to actually have any knowledge of products to...

So basically you want someone to do the work cheaply so you can benefit from it ?
There are companies that will 3D print your designs, so one of those would give you the ' going ' rate for what you...

Sounds about right.

Suggest that you use something more precise than a plastic school rule to measure things.
Then when you have more accurate measurements you will probably find your 3D skills improve somewhat.
Then...

That will be the game that I've heard of that is meant for for simple minded people with an !Q smaller than their shoe size.

Just wondering which slicer you show in your post ?

Perhaps you can explain the triangles, it's just a flat plane interrupted by some holes, not a curved surface where I would expect some...

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you are trying to show or how this will help correct the issue.
You mention a slicer setting, I would appreciate knowing what that would be ?

Could you explain how '...

It was just drawn in Fusion 360, it's approx 100mm by 140mm.

Just a rectangle with the face drawn on it then extruded up 3mm and exported as an .obj file.

Qidi had similar results using Prusa...

I am not as knowledgeable about Cura or any slcicer as I would like to be so I can only offer any information that occurrs to me.
At a guess it will be a setting somewhere in the numerous speed...

I think that outlines are called walls in the slicers that I've used, not that what trhey are called matters anyway.
From memory I think that it could have been four walls, I just used the Qidi...

Not really sure what you mean by outlines.

It's just a rectangle wiith a smiley type face on it drawn in Fusion 360 and then just extruded up 3mm where it is solid, this leaves the face parts open...

It's a flat print extruded to 3mm thick.

The problem is that each layer gets infilled up to where the cut out is, then some of it has the infill started wherever it can extrude an uninterupted...

Not something I've ever seen before either.

I am having problems with surface finish on my Qidi XC-Pro. there is a raised extrusion where one part of the infill is extruded and overlaps as it meets the previous part infill.
Qidi support...

It's begining to look like I did in fact get a ' friday afternoon printer '
This printer that I have does not make a very good top surface finish, there are several raised overlap lines.

Why would you need to degrease something that does not have any grease on?

As far as I am aware soap residue has very poor adhesive properties.
