Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

[Syd_Khaos]

Fair enough, I got a glass plate. Just need to install it but having all sorts of annoying issues with the Z-Axis shims. There's only one for the QIDI printer I have and I have to remix it to cut off some of the height (it's made for 1/4" glass and mine is 1/8"). The one one works but when it hits the Z-switch for the leveling process, it actually hits with enough force that it tilts it up. Will have to find a better way to secure it. I know, I'll put on some blue tape across it.

Just get a little bit of Gorrilla Tape and use little strips to attach the forks on shim to the slide barrels.

I see what you mean but I gave up on those adapters since they were so wrongly sized and don't actually fit properly on the Qidi Tech (only FF I assume). I am surprised they fit for you. Can you take a picture of your setup?

Does anyone know how to control the LED light in the Qidi Tech? I assume there's only one light which is the white one on the top front inside of the case. For me it seems like it's always white but I see in the menu there are options to turn on and off the light and to set color. I've tried both of these settings and they don't seem to do anything.

Does anyone know what type of nozzle these machines have? going to experiment with some of the abrasive proto pasta filaments but want to have a spare on hand.

Thanks, considering its a dual extruder so height is crucial will all mk10 nozzles be the same height? is there some adjustability in the machine? anything else to look out for in replacing a nozzle?

Yes MK10 nozzles should be the same height. You adjust your hot block/nozzles with the tube connected to them in the cold block.If your going to print with abrasive filaments you may want to look into theses.http://www.micro-swiss.com/#!product...e-cece31e3ba6f

Congrats and welcome to the club. Select Flashforge Creator Pro, from their you can save your own profiles.

did you try out PLA? if so, do you have a basic entry setting for the FF settings?

thanks a lot!

Yup, printed with ABS and PLA. From the Simplify 3d defaults you will want to lower the extruder temperature for PLA to 200-205C. The bed temp should be around 50-60C.
