I have been interested on the upgrade you have on your site but I am not sure how it all goes together, and how the quick release is used, etc. And you haven't added a working link for the installation of it yet.
Any chance of a document, as well as maybe a video of the features and the install?

Haha ya, I actually have half a video that I did with the Qidi. It stops when I realize Qidi used a larger thermal tube in the extruder and it (at the moment) won't fit in my extruder bar. A few cuss words at that point are heard in the video. lol
I need to try and ream the holes bigger and see if there is enough meat there in the front of the bar to not break.
The quick release are just push to connect fittings. You just push the tube in and it fastens. To release you push down the plastic ring and the tube will slide out.

If you use MicroSwiss MK10 conversions they will fit. I have a supply of MicroSwiss Conversions, and a custom hot block that I designed specifically for the MicroSwiss. However if you use the Qidi thermocouples I have to know that so I can modify the hot block to fit the QIDI thermocouple. It uses bigger threads.
The hot ends clamp from the sides so once released you can move them without jamming a set screw into the side of the thermal barrier.
If you are using Microswiss conversions in a QIDI bar you aren't getting the proper amount of heat transfer. Thermal compound isn't a gap filler, it only works in a very thin coating. Metal to metal contact is the only way to transfer heat properly.

I wish there was a nicer way to level the entire carriage. Someone should make a carriage that has thumb screws to adjust the height up and down.
