  • Hey Angus, I got the X-Plus 3 and recognized why it heats up, cleans the nozzle only to then do the meshing with a cool nozzle, etc... The Startup routine basically calls the heatup-routine first, then calls the nozzle-cleanup, and instead of then starting the print, it calls the kamp-meshing first in your case. The Issue only lays in the Kamp-routine which always sets the Hotend-Temp to 0, to prevent drips of molten material sticking to the buildplate while probing! To fix this issue one can either turn off kamp before every print, or simply open the config-files and put the call-function for kamp-mesh before the call-function for the nozzle wipe...

    @Elektrotechniker@Elektrotechniker2 ай бұрын
    • ya you can run the KAMP before then run everything else. There are other ways to do adaptive bed meshing with a macro instead of running KAMP, but it looks like Qidi is just running vanilla Klipper. Which if you update to v12 has KAMP built into the system now, meaning you can just enable it in vanilla Klipper instead of having a sub routine instead.

  • I've noticed a lot of Chinese companies have the practice of not testing their firmware or updates before pushing them out. I've had my Flashforge four less than a year and it's already been subjected to 3 firmware updates that have ended up being worse for print procedure that the original firmware. I think they just come up with a "fix" that makes sense in their heads, but never send it through a trial to see how their changes impact the printing process. I know they've changed the pre- heating bed temp on each firmware update for the bed leveling process, as well as changed when the bed heats. They've also added an auto home instruction before AND after the bed leveling procedure as well as a nozzle lift before heating the nozzle (so my printer heats up 3 times, homes 3 times, and let's filament ooze from the nozzle before starting the print and dragging a huge string of oozed and boogered filament into the print area). A process that used to take 5 minutes and had almost no problems now take 30 minutes and half the time I have to abort the print because of the oozed filament getting in the way and preventing initial layer adhesion to the bed.

  • General Thoughts on POM and Hightemp: As someone who has managed a pretty good benchy outta it, i can tell you that it has little to do with the chamber temp. My benchy was printed at almost ambient. Getting it to Stick to the buildplate is doable, but you usually dont want it to stick to well as it will rip itself apart. The shrinkage itself will ruin every print if not carefully designed for it

  • They say to keep the door open for PLA, but I have -never- done so on my XMax3 😂. Even a hyper PLA 5x size bency printed for 8 hours beautifully. That air curtain works -really- well and the heat rises away as long as the lid is off 🤷🏽‍♀️ And, yeah, these newest QIDI releases are ABS monsters! Blows away the competition. The bed does seem slick, and many of us that have the new gold textured bed use a little pva glue stick with great success for the picky filaments. The heat creep bendy filament problem may be a bit of print head design issue... The hot end cooling fan does cool the heat sink, but due to no ducting behind the front shroud, it rises up into the extruder area. That and for some reason they spaced it out from the heat sink in the Q1 🤔 The XM3 design tried to combat that heat rising with a little 20mm fan pulling the heat out of the side of the shroud. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I ended up modifying mine with push-pull fans for crossflow of the heat that is swiftly moved out of the head shroud. (No videos yet, my day job kills off my free time) Message me if youd like the photos of the fan mod. The XM3 and the new Q1 use the same modular hotend design, though the Q1 is copper core and has that beautiful hardened tip in a clad copper heat zone. 🤤 Have you seen @NoizieWorks video on the Q1? He printed the torture toasters in a variety of materials!

    • The Bambu lab printers have had less problems than any printer that I’ve had, if you have problems it will take you to there website and 99% of the time it’s a easy fix that they walk you though. All my Enders and the clones I’m dumping. The new software that is available now for those that want to tinker. The printer has become more open source, the software that Bambu created is very good not something that forces you to move to the community software because it’s junk. Creality, elegoo and Anycubic all have junk software. The Vorn printer is made as a project printer, great printer that you will always be working on for a beginner it’s a nightmare.

I have a CR -6 se display is great, I have to have the auto level because of the head injury the manual is very hard for me to get right. Love my Elegoo resin printers hated the Anycubic M5s. The Elegoo’s resin printers just work just like the GKTwo. I just don’t want to have to constantly work on a machine to make it work. The X1 Carbon fits that, resins are messy but for my miniatures I love them. So I guess not having a thought in your head makes you a bot for Qidi. lol How would I buy this printer no just base on the review here, there are others that are coming out with a AMS unit to match Bambu. The Big elegoo printer I thought about that but looking at the problems with setup and other things I would buy the Qidi before I would get it even though it’s a smaller printer. If you will only buy one mfg items you don’t always get the best product. It just like buy car I bought a VW Jetta to replace my Chevy pickup that I used to make sales calls on loved the pickup hated the gas cost than the changed the diesel formula and it was higher than gas. Loved the Jetta, but I replaced it just like these printers If you marry a brand you are going to miss out on something great. Would I buy other X-1 carbon no because there are other printers that are coming out with a larger build plate. That’s my thoughts.

  • You really need to get a sturdy table. I found when changing out filament that if I keep pulling while unloading the filament can extract all the way out, but the trick was to preheat the nozzle to only about 200c and also once it starts to extract you need to pull a bit hard, but all the filament length will come back out. Trying higher temperatures ended up taking the extruder apart to clear the problem ( bulb or hook happens and jams )

  • The x3 series had an integrated filament cutter in the tool head,at least my xsmart did. And it printed very well with almost any material I put in it pa 12 cf being the most difficult. But that was after a lot of messing with the printer, new extruder, inductive mesh probe, hot end and a usb c cable for the print head. I still always had issues with bed adhesion and had to make adjustments on the fly almost every print. The last straw with it was when the bearings in z axis bed guides started to shake themselves loose and fall out causing the bed to go way out of level, and every print would fail. It looks like they use the same bearings on the bed for the q1, so you may want to affix them a little better maybe some glue or there is a printable model on cults3d to secure them, I tried the printed model but the bearing holes had to much play by then and they didn’t work well.

  • Re "doesn't heat the chamber passively using just the print bed": Unless we're talking actually pro-grade machines with proper chamber heaters capable of temps >100C, I think this is a moot distinction. A 600W heater (e.g. an AC heated bed) is ultimately just that, it's capable of producing 600W of heat, probably actually more than the heater in the Q1 Pro (I say probably because at least right now the Quidi Website seems to not list product specs, at least as far as I can find). Just by adding some fans (and optionally heatsinks) it effectively becomes an active chamber heater. A V2.4 is cabable of >70C chamber temps (I think the highest I ever saw on mine was 78 after a long PC print). That's not to say this printer is bad/worse or anything, just wanted to illustrate that active chamber heaters aren't automatically better/more capable then "passive" bed heating.

  • I primarily print with pa12-cf, pa6-cf, pa6-gf, copa, and pa612-cf... and my magic trick to print with these filaments with ZERO warping is to set bed temp at 95°c for the 1st few layers, then set it to drop all the way down to 35°c for the remainder of the print. Yes, I know this "sounds a bit extreme"... but #1, you must have an enclosed printer to get the absolute best results, and #2, trust me! Do a small print withcthis and you can come back and thank me.

  • It's not really that much smaller in build volume than the Bambu machines, only more honest: The Bambu machines have an "exclusion zone" on the front left, where the print head gets sent to activate the filament cutter. They also limit the height because they heavily rely on Z-Hop during retractions. (Yes, there are work arounds for that, but out of the box, the Bambu print volume is 237x256x250mm³). This machine seems to be aimed squarely at the Bambu Labs X1E (a 2500$ machine), but priced like a P1P - and the only thing you give up is the AMS (i.e. auto-loading for up to 16 filaments). Paired with a proper Klipper implementation this seems to be amazing value, especially in a company setting, where Cloud Connectivity is seen as a negative, not a plus.

    • Also considering the things you would need an active chamber heater for mostly won't work in the AMS anyway! I'm interested, just don't know if I'm $600 interested. Wonder if I could take my X1 and rebuild it with an active chamber heater and the electronics outside the heated area.

    • @@Eric_Wolfe-Schulte I think the active chamber heater is mostly for ABS and ASA - and these work beautifully from my AMS. Only the warping is bad and I really wish my X1C had a proper chamber heating (heating via the bed tops out at around 40 to 45°C for me).

  • I have the Xmax3 and they added this quirky filament change process to it as well with the last Firmware update. I do not like it, and have also knocked the cable mangement loose and also find it difficult to remove the PTFE tubing. The reason they did this is because of major clogging issues with the previous method, which required you to manually pull on the filament on the back of the printer as it fed out. I have not had a clog with this new method as of yet, so it did address the issue, but is certainly not ideal. I just set the dry box they sent with printer next to the printer on the table it works fine and provides easy access for change.

  • There is no ventilation for the fumes right? So you'd need to customize the top door for this to be safe. Otherwise fumes get stuck until you open it and take a deep breath while getting your print off the bed. If you think about it an open printer with a ventilated tent is better than this in terms of safety.

(a folder on my desktop) He emptied the recycling bin too..... and my recovery software was useless. I almost cried when I realized all those models that were in that pack you released (that you sold to get money for that event last year), were gone. I thought I'd have to bug you to try and buy them again. BUT! I was so happy to see you have it up on your website. So I just bought them all again. P.S. I bought an external NVME enclosure that I'm using to backup all my stuff now. Since Google One did not seem to actually backup everything... like I pay for it to do. Cheers

    • Polymaker 95a- HF is as good as it gets, even works with Bowden extruders. Their provided profile limits flow to only 4mm3/s and it's still unreliable. The extruder gear tension is way too high for it so it deforms then quickly jams. Fixable with a hardware update for sure

    • @@MakersMuse that's what I saw too, my current 3D printer (CR-10V3, has a E3D direct drive) can print softer TPUs at higher flow than 4mm3/s. It has a tighter guide below the extruder gear. A simple plastic part but it works. It shouldn't be too difficult to make that better based on what you showed with a replacement part. Making it a very short filament path won't happen with this extruder tho. With units already in warehouses, you probably reviewed what customers will receive.

    • The previous generation used makerbase boards. Like the bigtreetech manta boards, but the cb1 is integrated into the Mainboard and not plugged into. Most Linux cpus dont have enough input/output suitable for controlling a printer directly, so there is likely a microcontroller responsibility for the xyz motion and bed as well as a separate mcu in the toolhead, connected over a uart connection, not canbus like most think (you can go through the configs of all sold klipper printer from creality, qidi or similar and you won't find any canbus address).
