    I might just have to. Hopefully the wife doesn’t mind, and if she does I’ll blame it on Reddit.😂

    300C nozzle, 50C bed, open chamber, 60mm/s speed, 1mm @ 30mm/s Retraction, no cooling, that may be fuzzy skin .1/.1

    It's a fantastic printer and I've had ZERO issues with it. I've printed PA6-CF/GF, ABS, ASA, TPU, and PC all with no problems. Printed a perfect benchy out of the box with no experience. I would get another, but I'm saving room for the new Plus 4.

    What brand filament, what bed temp, and what chamber temp?

    I've got no complaints or issues with it so far, only had it for a few days and a few prints, but they're been PLA+ at 300mm/s and PA6-CF at 60mm/s and they're both great. Print you one of my Q1 Door Handles and you'll have nada to complain about. :-)

    You got off easy this time.

    If you trust your oven to anneal, trust it to dry. Dry your filament to manufacturer recommendation

    Yes.

    Plug in an RJ45 LAN cable and hardwire it to your router.

    Mine is.

    honestly, the q1 pro is a fantastic “budget” option. snag that fucker on sale and sell your other one on marketplace

    Could I get away with drying in a food dehydrator, then printing from my Sunlu dryer at 50C? Going to be tackling PA6-CF for the first time here..

    The Qidi Q1 Pro is an awesome printer! $400 is a smoking deal. I would get another but I'm gonna get the new Plus 4.

    I've got one too and absolutely love it. Straight out of the box run the auto leveling and auto shaping and it's good to go. I print nylon almost exclusively now because how great it prints it for me.

    Urutau AR-9 Barrel Retainer done in PolyMaker PA6-CF on a QIDI Q1 Pro.

    Per PolyMaker's reccomendations:

    Dried for 12hrs at 70C in a Comgrow SHO2 drier, then printed directly from the dry box. Annealed for 2 hrs at 195F in my oven.

    The Q1 Pro is on sale at Amazon for $399, reg price is $499.

    Oh yeah.

    I experienced a little warping on a mid-length handguard done in pa6-cf on my q1. May eventually reprint it in a vertical orientation to see if it makes a difference.

    Do you think the x-Plus3 would use the same settings?

    Regular pla or pla+ for apple pie?

    Greetings everyone i hope you are doing well i am planning on printing a grandmas apple pie pump action ar for hunting and was wondering if I should print it in standard pla or pla+ I'm either doing a .300 blackout or a 7.62x39 I'm leaning towards the 7.62x39 since this build looks like a full length rifle rather than a pistol. Also if anyone has built one how is your experience with the build process/shooting it? It'll be my first real fosscad project once my centari carbon comes in . although I did make a crappy 22 a while back. Never did put it together as i was told by the community it was unsafe

    Glock 17 Guide Rod

    Was building a Glock 17 with a parts kit from JSD supply and when I took the slide out of the box, the recoil spring exploded off the shitty plastic guide rod and had snapped the end off of it. So now I’m sitting here waiting on a response to an email I sent yesterday to replace the broken part and I was wondering if you could make a guide rod yourself. Has anybody ever made their own guide rods for a Glock? Any tips?

    GunCAD Index 1.0.0 Release - Out of Beta Edition

    I come today bearing great news: after a slew of new features, I finally feel like I have the GunCAD Index at some level of feature maturity. Today, I've decided to cut release 1.0.0.

    If you don't know what website I'm talking about, either check my bio or look it up on Google. We are a search engine that strives to index the entirety of 3D2A/3DPG/GunCAD on Odysee, and God dammit, I think we've done a pretty good job so far.

    We're open-source: https://gitlab.com/guncad-index/indexWe've got a Matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#guncad-index:matrix.orgWe're currently driven entirely by community donations: [https://ko-fi.com/theshittinator](https://ko-fi.com/thes

    Trying to print super safety in pa6-cf, it's recommended to not have any cooling but after this I think it might be helpful, any ideas on other causes?

    Has anyone modified the Leber V2 files to use standard or Radian short throw AR safeties? Haven't seen anythign from my usual follow son the Sea. Would be handy for those not fortunate enough to be super safe.

    Mounting Options

    I’ve been looking for drop leg mounting options. I’ve found the QLS designs, and I may very well go that route, but before I do…

    Has anyone seen or is working on a Blade Tek Tek-Mount system? I’m not great with CAD, but it seems like it’d be pretty easy to duplicate their system.

    I tried to print another pm4 center-fire and it turned out they all come out like this. Problems started after printing easy nylon from overture. Yes I did a cold pull. Before the cold pull not even the supports were properly sticking.
