Qidi E3d Bowden Conversion

thingiverse

This upgrade boosts the qiditech1 3D printer's capabilities with all hardware components featuring M3x1.5 threads, allowing users to choose between employing nuts or opting out. Printing in ABS or similar materials at a 100% infill rate is recommended for extended longevity. The primary motivation behind this modification was to utilize an existing Volcano E#D V6 hotend, which had previously been set aside during another build project. This upgrade can be implemented without any firmware modifications, but users will need to drill and tap the heater block to accommodate a standard Qidi thermistor, necessitating some wiring adjustments. Currently, I am operating a Volcano 1.2 nozzle with no issues. To ensure optimal performance, it is essential to acquire a 24V heater unit; using a 12V unit, although currently functioning, is not recommended. For simplified settings and slicing, I suggest utilizing Simplify3D, which significantly eases the setup process for this configuration.
