Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

[Talon 3D]

Thank you for the info.
One thing I like about the QIDI is the ability to do so much with them while still being affordable.
I've got PrintBite on the plate so that is working great. Dialed in for ABS, PLA, PLA-PHA and PetG. Now the adjustments and upgrades for printing flexible materials is next. I've got to print out a set of caps for one of my scopes. Mine disappeared. I found a great template and adjusted it to fit. I figure semiflex or fully flexible filaments would be good. Funny e-Sun PetG might work but sometimes I'm out in subzero temps, so something with a bit more flexibility to start with may be the way to go.

The stock hot ends PTFE lined are better than the Microswiss conversions. The best nozzle to use for the flex filaments is the P3-d coated brass MK10, it works better than the coated Microswiss for some reason, both being PTFE style.... I suppose it could be the internal shape. Of course you want to print out the feeder mechanisms on my Thingiverse, they help a lot, and use the old style drive gear, the one with teeth going all the way across the length of the gear.

I'd just use Ninja and skip the Semi. Ninja is pretty rigid as it is.
