Please take and publish more pictures. This is the first and only info on this new version from QiDi that I've been able to find.

I surely will, but it's 4:30 am here so i'll soon go to bed i'll probably do it tomorrow.

Anyway the x3g converter looks a bit complicated to set, even because there's no accurate instructions, is there something easier to set you know about? Anyway i'll probably do everything tomorrow.

Sorry, I use Simplify 3D. It performs the X3G conversion by invoking GPX. No idea what's going on under the covers.

No idea on how to make it work on cura or the default qidi slicer? I mean, how does simplify3d invoke the converter? did you specify the directory of it or?

Using S3D you hit a save button and it walks you through a widget to specify the file location. Within the S3D configuration settings that control how to "post process" the GCODE that it generates, emitting an X3G format file is one of the options it supports. You pick the X3G format from a drop down list. (Incidentally, the X3G option is selected from the same list where you would select post processing for the DaVinci types 1,2 or 3.)

Oxi, Any more pix or info on the "X-One2"?

Wow. Nice. You can't print .stl files. They need to be ran through a slicer and then converted to .x3g.

We just managed to make the printer accept the file, by setting the printer "Julia" on cura, but it started printing completely random, we had to stop it, i'll try again with x3g, and see what happens.

Which version of Cura did it come with?

It's not cura, it's some sort of qidi modded version of it, its name is just "QIDI TECH", actually, SHOULD be a version of cura, but i'm not sure of it.

If you download FlashPrint and select the FlashForge Finder as your machine, it should work. You will have to manually turn on the bed heater through the control panel on front, but you will at least get the right type of file.

I'll try that and let you know if it works, at the moment i'm printing a little bowl, it's coming out pretty nice, but i set faster settings and the larger part is not that accurate, it has few flaws, but it's ok anyway. As soon i finish the printing, i'll install and try flashprint and will let you know

Just normal 3mm glass will work. Get it cut to the size of the print bed and use some gator clips to hold the glass. Then print out some glass holders for the corners of the bed.

I'm not sure those gator clips would fit between the actual bed and the moving platform, also, where would i secure those corner holders?

Now that I look at your pictures, it is going to be tough to get some gator clips on the bed. It does look like there is room between the bed and the frame it attaches to, to wedge a piece in to hold the glass. Don't forget to lower the bed the width of the glass so the nozzle doesn't hit.

Exactly
