Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

[Talon 3D]

I've got to say I really am enjoying the PrintBite bed. I can do so many runs with nothing but a wipe down with alcohol every now and then.
I did my first remixes the last week or two as well. It's making my printing experience so much more fun.

Nice. I would try it but to much negative about using ABS.
I need to try dual extrusion one of these days!
Where you using PETG? I just got some but haven't tries it yet.

This is PLA/PHA and PLA Plus for the purple. They are working great.
The back is smooth as heck with PrintBite. I dont have to mess around. I wish I had it from the start.
PeTG works great on the Qidi as well. Just have to dial it in.

Tips on basic settings?

With the PeTG it was a bit tricky.
Bed 90 (PrinteBite) Bed 100 (blue sticker) nozzle 230, I've also slowed down to 24 on the print speed. No fan with panels on.

PLA dual printing bed temp 80 to 90 depending on the form, large areas needed hotter. Nozzle I kept at 210 to help blend the two filaments. Speed was 32 can go faster but for the really fine detail I kept it slow.
I made this fan duct in ABS though for printing PLA/PHA, first two layers no fan then 90%the rest of the time. Front door open but top on for the PLA/PHA but normal PLA for open, top off and side panel open.

I hope it helps.

Thanks for the tips. I may try the PETG this weekend if I get time. Been focused on the new printer.

Ok, giving PETG a try tonight. Going 80 on glass and 230. What do you run for an extrusion multiplier? I am using S3D.

Always start on the low side for multiplier on PETG like .84 or so, it hates overextrusion due to how sticky it is. I would go up on temp to about 250 also.

I had this luck with 0.82 to 0.86 with the E-Sun PeTG.
For more transparency go slow as well.
