thingiverse

<h1>Raspberry PI Case Takes Center Stage for QIDI Tech 1 with OctoPrint</h1> Raspberry PI Case revolutionizes the QIDI Tech 1 printer experience. For those utilizing OctoPrint, this case is a game-changer. The design might also accommodate the Creator Forge. <h2>Compatibility Checklist</h2> - This Raspberry PI Case snugly fits a Raspberry Pi B+ (and likely a Pi3) with ports facing upwards when mounted on the right side of the printer. - When using OctoPrint, this case is ideal for webcam integration, but not suitable for the built-in pi camera port due to reach constraints. - The installation process requires swapping screws from the slightly longer set provided with the printer. - Easy Snap-On Lid design. <h2>Additional Notes</h2> - Mounts securely on the right side of the printer. - The board attaches directly to the LID, not the PRINTER itself. - Requires SUPER GLUE application to mounting pegs for securing the Raspi. STL and f3d (Fusion 360) files are included in the package. <h1>Setting Up OctoPrint with QIDI: A Step-by-Step Guide</h1> Visit https://octoprint.org/ for comprehensive setup instructions. Standard OctoPrint configuration is required, along with the GPX plugin to convert gcode into x3g format. The GPX plugin comes with a known bug. Ensure your finger is on the 'cancel print' button during use, as it may grind filament before heating the extruder otherwise. Under GPX Settings, select "Replicator 1 - Dual Extruder" for accurate steps per mm settings.
