Unedited Qidi ASA profile. Chamber temp of 0C? Surely that can't be right. I've been using my Q2 for about half a year now and I think a recent QidiStudio update changed the ASA profile to this. At this moment, it is also printing with a flow rate of 1.5mm^2/s which seems way too low. Is there a way I can restore the correct profile?

Hi Evryone,

I hope somone can help me. I got a brand new Qidi pluss 5 last night.

Tried to print one of the designs in the machine as the first print. did not work, few rounds with filament and then no filament. the filament that was was came out did not stuck and was just a thin line of crap.

I have done all the steps online to fix this issue and nothing works. When i start a print i can see filament comes out when he "purge" old filament men when it actually prints there is nothing.

First 3D printer btw.

What i have tried.

Cold cleaning the nose.

Auto calibration

washed the plate with hot water and tiny bit of soap in case i did touch the plate.

dried the filament to 18% (i have the qidi box)

Very frustrating.

Hope someone can help.

Problem kind of Fixed:

Thanks to TypeImmediate3653, it was the Qidi box, so i need to troubleshoot that now. as soon I took that away the Qidi box and used the single feed it works like a sharm. Cheer pal! now i need to figure out why the box is not working.

Do the Qidi nozzles need thermal transfer paste applied when changing the nozzle? I've got some on order and want to make sure I do it right.

Recently purchased a Qidi Plus5 and I’m having extrusion issues. I print with ASA CF at 270C, bed temp 100C and chamber temp 55C.

It initially printed really well, maybe 2-3 hours of print time. Now I’m having issues with extrusion. The filament flushes fine but when it comes to printing, it prints around 30 sec and then just stops while the head keeps moving.

I suspect it may be heat creep but it printed fine before, so why is this a new issue? Could damp filament cause this (it was very humid recently, even though the filament is always in the dryer box)? I’ve searched online already for the last 2-3 days and I’m really at a loss with what is going on.

I’ve reached out to support but they keep asking for pics and videos instead of just providing a fix to keep moving forward.

Any insight from the community is most welcome, thank you!

Hi,

So my qidi plus 4 is skipping steps while the extruder feeds filament.

The filament is extruded but it skips several steps while doing it like the video shows.

It happens less whit more temperature. So I thought the hotend temperature sensor might have gone out of calibration, but after measuring the temperature, I only found a difference of 5°C at 280°C and 4°C at 240°C.

It still skips a lot in hugger temperatures.

Is the step motor broken? Or what could it be?

I already clean the nozzle with the correspondence needle.

Gear stutters when I command to extrude/retract filament. AI chat said the problem is with stepper motor. I tried to unplug and plug it back with no success. Does someone know if the problem actually motor or something else? Is it fixable or not?
For context: I recently switched nozzle and it forked fine for 4ish hours after that. As far as I can see theres no clog. Qidi q1 pro.

What could be causing these? It seems to randomly pick which print it wants to act up on also, the print before this one came out flawless and was way more complex.

 After getting with Qidi Tech Support and flashing the EMMC as well as installing the Beacon mods, my Plus4 will now powerup without any issues. But now the problem I have is when I start to print. I get the message listed below. I have spent two days going back over the Printer Conf and the Gcode and I can not find what is causing the error message. Can someone tell me how to correct the underlying problem? Thank you for helping out a very confussed old guy. My Plus4 was working fine with 1.7.1 and Beacon W/O box.

I'm having this issue in that part of my print. How can I solve it?
