Great news, smooth plates are going to be available soon!
Are they going to be double sided with smooth on one side and textured on the other side
@jamesmason7124 Smooth and textured 👌👌 like it should have been from the start. Here is the link, it's not available yet qidi3d.com/products/q1-pro-smooth-plate?_gl=1*1tu8abu*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTE0OTcxMjE4Mi4xNzE1NDQ0NTg1*_ga_KX2C50P9X7*MTcxNTQ0NDU4NC4xLjAuMTcxNTQ0NDU5Ni4wLjAuMA..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpJLlhoGGhgMVMqaDBx0f-wdrEAAYASAAEgK7GvD_BwE
thanks for the review, would it be possible to share the STL file for the riser
It's a very bad riser with bad tolerance so i would look for somewhere else.
Thanks good review, very informative. You mentioned oozing with TPU, but I don't recall any comments about printing TPU. I would appreciate your opinion on printing TPU, and any recommendations for printing.
It's in the first look video if you want to see all the materials tested but in short It printed the tpu torture toaster no problem.
Can you give some details on the Bowden tube replacement? What size tube, how long, etc. This is my first 3d printer, so my knowledge base is bupkus.
I ordered a random 1 meter pack with 2mm inner and 4mm outer diameter. I just cut it a few cm longer and trimmed it until it wasn't hitting the top lid (with the riser)
Great review. I've had good luck with the run-out sensor working correctly. I just started printing with TPU, and it's been doing a great job. There were no issues with it spewing out filament while it was heating. However, the issue that I agree with you on is the timelapse issue. I cannot get that to work. I haven't reached out to support yet, but I will this weekend. Overall, this printer has been fantastic. I've had no issues with printing PLA, TPU, and ABS. This printer loves different materials.
Do you get the same error message in console?
@@NoizieWorks, I don't get an error on the console. When I add the Gcode for timelapse in OcraSlicer, the printer behavior completely changes. The movements are super rough, and the print quality is horrible as the printer becomes jerky. It's odd. Once I remove that Gcode for the timelapse, the printer behavior returns to normal.
TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME is this the code you added to the start gcode?
@@NoizieWorks I added it to the Time Lapse Gcode in OcraSlicer.
Could you possibly do your mechanical tests with some filaments as well? I am torn between the Qidi Q1 Pro and the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, and there are so few reviewers who do proper mechanical tests... Everyone always says resin prints are so weak and brittle, but I am sure some of the newer engineering resins could give the filaments a run for their money! Also have a look at post cure heat treating at 60C or 80C as shown by CNC kitchen and Formlabs which increases resin parts' strength by 10-20%. I think then the resins might really challenge the filaments in terms of strength, especially due to the isotropic strength of the resin prints.
Yes, i will dive into filaments and alternative "curing" as well
My Q1 Pro arrived today. I will be setting it up tonite. I was on Qidi's site today and they had a smooth plate available.
Nice! They didn't last week so there goes 1 complaint 🙂 edit: seems to be a place holder as there is no stock but yay anyway!
just got my machine and looks like they changed a few things. they added the alignment corners for the plate. they moved the purge bucket towards the center.
Really, great to know!
Just ordered my Q1. Can’t wait to get it in.
how much longer did your bowden tube have to be?
I would say it's about 2/3cm longer, didn't measure it. Just trimmed it untill it sits nice
I added the buildplate fix to my Q1 Pro. My Q1 Pro then started having the gremlins with probe samples exceed samples_tolerance error. I removed it and went back stock and it completely went away. I honestly have no clue what is happening. I have done 20 prints since going back to stock and haven't had the probe samples exceed samples_tolerance error a single time. Running
V4.4.19
Yup that's the one, well mine is stock and i have it to (still on the .18)
How long was your PTFE tube?
I just installed it to long and cut it to length untill it had a nice curve. If i have to do a guess about 1-2 cm longer
Could you share the riser STL?
The design is shit and i wouldn't do you any favor with sharing it
I replaced the nozzle with aliexpress hardened cht clone. Got a 33% flow increase.
Nice, what speed do you run?
I have had this printer for close to 2 months and there are some small issues true, but it’s a very reliable printer once you get through the teething issues. On the filament runout sensor it needs to be turned on in fluidd. Seems like it should be on by default but it’s not. Ever after talking to Qidi Tech support they never mentioned that to me. It’s in the setup section and it’s called “fila” right at the bottom of the page. Not sure if you have been told or not but just in case thought I would mention. The camera is a mystery to set up but I just set about the camera config file and activated almost all relating to web camera setting and both time lapse and app now work. I’m on iPhone iOS but I’m not sure how I did it to be honest. Again no one had that info from Qidi Tech. They are helpful in general but it’s early doors with this printer so maybe once they fully understand the setup themselves it will be less of an issue in the future.
Hi dude, i'm totally aware of the sensor not being on i talked about it in the first look.
Mine just isn't relaible, it works after you pause the print and push the runoutsensor in a few times so maybe i just have a bad sensor.
They also seem to not have a clue how to fix my camera issue, i did fail to mention that you need to add a line of code to your slicer start gcode to make it work. TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME, if i do this the console gets mad every layer and says take frame ignored because.... just those little things but like you mentioned the printer itself is a chefs 💋
@@NoizieWorks ah, yes you did mention in the first look. I recall now. Yeah, Qidi are very helpful but there is a learning curve going on for sure. Get them to send you out a new extruder drive to sort the sensor out? I had a camera that was dead on the first week and they shipped out one to me the following day without any issue. Maybe the solution. Do you need a copy of the camera config file that works (i.e. from my machine) to see if it sorts out your camera issue? Happy to send if needed.
@kerwalker4246 that sounds great! You can send it to noizieworks@gmail.com
I'm in contact with qidi right now as they are asking me more info about the review so yeah i will ask for a new sensor.
@@NoizieWorks sent. 👍
Please make more Qidi Tech Q1 pro videos Please, maybe some about modifications
What do you have in mind of upgrades?
@NoizieWorks upgrade to full current version of Klipper and Klipper screen firmware and maybe some upgrade stl files for things like top cover spacers with magnets, ethernet upgrade or ???
I will have to disappoint you on the firmware side, i understand it but that's about it. A riser i can do 😁 first i need to do some changes in the shop, it's so trashed right now😅
I love my q1 pro prints so good but don't update klipper
Yup 🙂
The heater thing is a non-issue
I agree but it needs to be mentioned so they do better the next time
If there is a perfect printer point me in the direction I'll take two please....................... This printer is the best bang for your buck on the market today right now thats not tiny AF. And that oozing in the front corner that doesn't happen with mine
Yup that's all true 🙂
Tad bit = 2mm
Nailed it 😆
they need better designers, looks like a coffin for a 3d printer
These printers are ok, but for engineering, you really need multi-material. I'm using PLA as a support filament for PETG (as they do not stick to each other) and I'm working much faster without having to process prints to remove supports. Creality has a muliut-material unit coming, I'm hoping that works.
Ams on this printer would be 🫠 even then the support removal on these prints are the easiest i have experienced so far.
Knowing creality they probably screw something up and release a new improved edition... i like the K2plus but i'm on the fence...
k1 is v pooor printer...
Yes!
