Qidi Tech 1 Simplify 3D Startup Script

FYI the latest Simplify3d update (June 2016 ver 3.1.0) includes a profile for the Qidi Tech 1 in it's printer model choices. I haven't compared all the settings to the ones listed in this thread, but it seems to work well for me.

Someone had noted some stringing compared to previous manual settings. Did you have any stringing?
I'm on the fence about getting S3D. The more I read the more I think it is the way to go.

I know this is not the exact printer but I am looking for this same information for the QIDI X-ONE to be used in Cura. Any help would be appreciated - trying to get a head start on the setup just ordered this printer today from Amazon.

Hello all- new here to the forum and just bought a QIDI X-One. I'm looking for some direction here please. So I hate the stock software that the X1 came with and want to use Cura (2.3.1) which I am accustomed to. I'm looking to get the proper info set up in Cura for the best prints. I can't seem to find any post pertaining to this printer. I know Simplify 3D supports this printer but really did not want to spend 150$ on software. Any help would be appreciated....

Or if anyone have Simplify 3D I would love to see the setting it has for this printer so I can use Cura which I as used to... Thanks you all.

Hi, I am using a QIDI Tech Dual. Recently, I started noticing this weird issue that has stopped me from being able to print anything. I slice in Simplify3D and upload the gcode to Octoprint. The first thing my printer is supposed to do is move the build plate to the top and the head to the start position. For no reason, the head has started moving painfully slowly, to the point where I have to cancel the job because I don't want to wait for it. I have tried different models and even upgraded to the latest build of Simplfy3D. This happened in the last version as well. I have tried jogging the build plate and the head in X, Y, and there are no issues with speeds at all. The belt isn't broken as far as I can tell and the steppers work fine in jog position.


Can anyone see any issues? I have not touched my configuration for years and it's always worked. Thank you.
