Qidi Tech 1 Simplify 3D Startup Script
In Simplify 3D when you select the Flashforge Creator Pro profile the default startup script creates a blob of plastic on the right side of the build platform. If you replace the starting scripts with these it will extrude a line of plastic along the front of the build platform to make sure the extruder is properly primed.
This script was buried in the massive Qidi Tech thread, I thought it would be easier to reference if we made it its own thread.

Paste this under the Left Extruder startup script

I just updated the scripts to change the default VRefs to 80 instead of 127.
Changed this line:
G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; Default stepper Vrefs
G130 X80 Y80 Z40 A80 B80 ; Default stepper Vrefs

Alternatively you could change the VREFs in the EEPROM using Replicator G and remove the lines from the scripts altogether.Last edited by KludgeGuru; 05-22-2016 at 08:14 PM.

This would be a good thing to put in the QIDI group as well. It's also useful for people who haven't shelled out for Simplify, as G-code is G-code (for the most part).

I've modified these for Slic3r, if anyone's interested.

I've noticed that when I am printing with a single extruder, the unused extruder still gets very warm. Perhaps a change to the GCode scripts would be appropriate? The changes I suggest are shown below. Any reasons not to do this?
For the Left Extruder:
Change From - G130 X80 Y80 Z40 A80 B80 ; Default stepper Vrefs
Change To - G130 X80 Y80 Z40 A05 B80 ; Default stepper Vrefs with unused Right extruder at idle
For the Right Extruder:
Change From - G130 X80 Y80 Z40 A80 B80 ; Default stepper Vrefs
Change To - G130 X80 Y80 Z40 A80 B05 ; Default stepper Vrefs with unused Left extruder at idle
No changes are needed within the Both Extruders 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.

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....
