Qidi Tech I 3D Printer

The Qidi Tech I. A clone, of a clone, of a clone…. $700 from Amazon, with dual extruders.
I have over 250 hours on this printer at this point with several upgrades.
Upgrades to date include:
Glass bed upgrade. More of an addition really. Being able to simply lift the bed out, place it in the refrigerator, and effortlessly pop the print off minutes later is an immensely satisfying thing!
The second upgrade is the Micro Swiss MK10 All Metal Hotend kit. I managed to shrink (melt) the PTFE tubes that come stock in the extruders. This mod cured that, and my extruder temps gained a ton of stability.
So far, this $700 3D printer is a steal. Print examples and more to come soon!
