The S3D folks just emailed me an updated profile. I'm very impressed with their excellent level of attentiveness and support!

That was VERY helpful, thanks. Will test another cube today.

Meanwhile, the S3D customer service guy emailed me the official Qidi X-Pro profile, which is attached here.

Next question: I printed out a 1 inch cube using the high quality settings. When measuring it with a micrometer, it's about .995 on each side depending on whether it's measured at the top or in the middle. Is there a master setting that consistently compensates for the -0.5% scaling error outside of...

It's working! I have it set to high quality, so I'm running a 1 inch cube and a test piece that should interface with a machined part if it's dimensionally correct. So far, the edge quality is much better than with the Qidi software.

You're my hero, Sir!

You rock, Sir! I'll give it a shot as soon as possible when work, kids, girlfriend and Christmas allow...

Aha! That explains it.

I only work with PLA, so if you could please set one up with a PLA left and PLA right, both with the PLA temperatures, that would be great.

OK. The gcode file works. You have the bed temp set way up to 100C, but it works. I was playing with the factory file for a few minutes at lunch and I guess I don't know what I'm doing. A local buddy can help me, though. I was trying to change from ABS to PLA at the upper left and set a left extrude...

Thanks! Will give it a shot.

Update:

Same story as before. It does everything except extruded filament onto the platform (at 190 degrees). There is a VERY thin smearing of filament, but it isn't really extending. I tried a gcode file from the Qidi software and it worked without problems at 190 degrees.

I'm puzzled.

Wow! Thank you so much for replying to my post. I was hoping that would happen. I have the settings loaded and have a test gcode file all set to run after my current print is done. I still don't understand why you have the PLA extruder temps set so high. I turned them down to what I know works (190C...
