How do I set up my file for the Qidi X-Plus 4?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Qidi X-Plus 4 and Qidi Generic PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Which build plate should I use?
Qidi Generic PLA sets a bed temperature for each plate:
- Textured PEI plate: 60 °C
- Smooth PEI plate: 60 °C
- Cool plate: 45 °C
- Engineering plate: 60 °C
- SuperTack plate: 45 °C
Why is my PLA stringing?
Try 5 to 10 °C below the 210 °C that Qidi Generic PLA sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Why does PLA clog in an enclosed printer?
Qidi Generic PLA heats the bed to 60 °C, and PLA softens below 60 °C, so Bambu Lab says to open the front door or remove the top glass once the bed passes 45 °C (Bambu Lab wiki).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles OrcaSlicer ships, read at OrcaSlicer v2.4.2 (8500fcd). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
