New Qidi Tech 1 With Issues

[Blobabee]

Hi number40Fan,

I've had 3 different 3D printers with many filament brands and types. I just bought the QIDI Tech 1 a week ago and was having issues with ABS. I've never needed a fan prior, but for some reason, your tip of turning on the fan stopped the warping edges on layers above the first 3. I created an account just to thank you for taking the time to post that information. So weird. BTW, I'm also using Flashprint. Makerbot software that comes on the 8GB SD card also works about the same as Flashprint, but with the ability to be connected over usb. I mainly print from SD for many reasons, but it's nice to have the ability at times. I've not taken the S3D plunge and really don't think I'm going to. I've used Cura and Slic3r successfully in the past with other printers. No one slicer is perfect, so for me and at this point, the only way I'd buy S3D is if they put it on sale or the likes. Anyway, thanks again and good luck starting your 3D printing journey. There's much to keep you busy!
