Freaking dope! I love you showed us the entire process. Give me inspiration for sure. Thanks for the video!

Thanks so much!

Nice, split the pcb in the middle down in its mirror line, mirror top layer to down layer, solder to side you want to fill, have an edge pads to connect both. Now pcb much cheaper to make 😊

[@ButterPockets]

That’s a really good point!

NICE!

Going to be curious to see what you think of the QiDi. Right now my Print Farm is 26 P1Ss, 2 P1Ps, 1 XIC, 1 Prusa MK4 (just got it to test) and 4 OG FlashForge Creator Pros (2016) and 5 QiDi FlashForge clones, The FlashForge and QiDis are on their last legs and will be replaced so I am curious as to how well that giant plasticky looking QiDi Max runs

My initial thoughts are that it’s good hardware, but cheap hardware. Overall I think it’s a good printer for relatively cheap. But the klipper install is pretty bad - the macros and way things are setup seems like it was done by someone who doesn’t know much about klipper. I say that as someone who doesn’t even know much about klipper honestly. It’s really similar to other printers that come with Klipper which makes me think there is some like “default” setup all the Chinese manufacturers do, which would make sense. The bed is really stable, it can print pretty fast, the heater really does make a difference, and overall I think it’s pretty good for 600$. Although…Bambulabs really did make it hard to recommend when the P1S is 700$. I think building a Voron is probably a more “optimized” use of your money, but not everyone’s cares about that. Most people wanna just buy a printer and print stuff. So it’s good to see these 6-700$ printers that offer a lot of features that were previously not available.

Also try esp with wled firmware 😊
