PLA PLA+ Temperature Tower 180-210

thingiverse

We had trouble finding a great temp tower for our Qidi X-Plus. It extrudes at lower temps or at least senses lower ones than other popular printers. The manual even tells users to print PLA starting at 190C vs 200C common in other how-to's. Even heat-loving silk doesn't seem to tolerate above 210 well. All the pre-made temperature towers we've tried failed miserably, usually by snapping in two around 220 or 225 before getting to the ideal temps for our printer. We also gravitate toward filaments also don't have the ability to bridge wide gaps without support. That left me feeling like we were wasting filament while not learning much that would improve our prints. This is my solution! Caveat: We've had our printer for less than two weeks. I'm very much still learning all the software, our printer, and different filament properties. Our printer and settings for the sample print photo: Qidi X-Plus Regular extruder 0.4mm nozzle Cura Fine 0.2mm Layer preset profile Skirt 60C Bed No base Each temp level is 50 layers 7 total layers G-code file includes the temperature changes created using the Cura ChangeatZ Post Processing Extension. Not sure it'll be compatible with any other printers but maybe you can copy the gcode.
