    The one question I am going to have is that they have a FFF Profile for S3D but it is for the Replicator/FlashForge. Don't know if I should actually use it or just work the settings for the QIDI profile. Maybe someone who knows more than me can look at them and see what the real difference is.

    No worries just thought it would be a cool project to demo the capabilities of 3D printing.

    What do you use for CAD? I am using Fusion 360.

    70%? WOW, that means your layer height * 0.7 is your first layer height and that is rough going. You would need a dead flat, and trammed, bed or no dice.

    At 90 I am getting gaps and skipping of the infill for the first layer. I am going to test more but it doesn't seem to correspond with leveling. That's why I was wondering about irregularities in the glass.

    Always open to suggestion for settings in S3D.

    Irregularities are fine as long as they do not go outside of your first layer height. My I3's bed has a max difference of 0.2mm from its highest point to its dead 0mm point so I try and keep it at 0.28mm (uses a 0.35mm nozzle) for a first layer height.

    This is the one thing S3D does 100% wrong because it should never be based on a percentage but on a set value and why it hasn't ever been changed I don't understand it. If I print at 0.1mm height I have to go figure out what a 0.28mm first layer height's percentage would be (0.32mm for a Qidi's 0.4mm nozzle) and if I change my layer height to something else I have to go do it all over again when the other slicers did this right so I don't have to keep effing with it every single time I just want to make a print with a different layer height. You *MUST* do this to insure that your first layer height does not go over your nozzle size * 0.8.

    btw, doing it via a percentage can lead to some weird values for the first layer height if you look at the gcode.

    Coming back to this - I made a new open hinge version that only lets go of the door 30 degrees from vertical. It also includes the slide to lock open feature, and won't pop off the hinge in that position.

    I chose 30 degrees from vertical so that you can one-hand open the door through the whole part of the motion that wants to knock the door off the hinge. At 30 degrees, it needs your help to de-hinge.

    Looks good.

    Which glass plate bed clips are you using and how are they working?

    I had to mod some clips because my glass is not exact size.

    Hey wirlybird, I made my own and I can upload the files later today. They happen to fit my borosilicate plates from China just right (friction fit). There isn't much overhang onto the build plate so they may not tolerate plates of slightly smaller dimension.
