Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

Thanks, yes, the bed is the biggest problem I see, too. I'm playing around with that this weekend. I doubt I'll find an easy solution but maybe there's something to be done there. Despite its flimsiness it seems to hold level for a very long time and the ringing on direction changes isn't bad and can be dialed down with software. Hoping to try some hardware solutions.

jfkansas, have you made any progress with your platform design?

jfkansas, have you made any progress with your platform design?

Yes, I have parts ordered, Enough to make 4 kits for now to test. The platform is 5mm solid carbon fiber plate. I have moved the adjusters to the corners of the plate to remove the teetering, It uses 10mm bearings. I might switch to 12mm rods and bearings, but 10 should be good. I will have it in two flavors. One where the buyer prints their own top and bottom mount and one where I will supply it. At least that is the plan for now.
