I’d highly suggest QIDI if you’re not building from scratch. I got my X pro back in 2018 and not only is it still stupidly detailed, but it’s an absolute workhorse. On top of that, they’re the best customer service I’ve ever had. I’ve made a ton of mods to mine over the years and they’ve done everything from helping me flash custom firmware to recording video guides for reversing the spin on the motors. I really cannot stress how great they are and how well they understand the DIY nature of this hobby.

Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.worldto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Are there other options than Prusa/BambuLab?English1·1 month agoI’ll second qidi, I got my x-pro back in 2018 and it came with instructions on tpu before you could reliably get tpu filament. My box has been printing like a dream ever since and they’ve even helped me do a bunch of custom mods. Last time the provided full spec measurements for thee extruder head to me, before they they provided custom cura specs for a machine modified with my custom kit to help troubleshoot an issue I was having. Literally, they modded their own machine with my files to help me out.
Best company I’ve ever worked with.
Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.worldto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Troubleshooting) Does anyone have an elegoo giga?English0·4 months agoI don’t own one of these but I took a look at the specks and I’m pretty confident I can give you some pointers.
First and foremost, you need an enclosure petg is going to cool way too fast if they thing is open air. My best advice would be to shove it in a closet or build a cabinet around it if you’re so inclined. The mega printer I’m working on is going in a converted curio hutch.
Second, there’s never enough adhesion. If you’re running pla, put a good layer of pva glue down on your bed before a print. Between that, texture and brim you should get a hold. If you’re not worried about playing fast and loose, you can print your first layer tight to the table for just a smidge more grab.
Lastly, I think the other poster is right about speed, taller parts get shakey. The housing will help with this by preventing ambient drafts, and you can use to to prevent frame shake if it’s sturdy enough, but going slow is always a good idea.
I used to use the heated bed to brew tea while I was modeling. Poly makes a good cup.
I have tentative plans to make my own smart lock by way of electric motor and commercial deadbolts with an RF scanner and a back up battery for emergency. It won’t be amazingly secure in a tech way, but I figure the combination of novelty and DIY should make it reliable.
That said, I gotta be that guy and remind everyone that all locks are security theatre and are not going to protect your house from the persistent or prepared. Your best defense is a combination of foresight and social engineering.
