PID controller plus a air fryer is what I use.

I squirted out a few copies of his AR9 and what I did was get the templates for the metal parts at https://github.com/japan44/Files and then converted the svg to dxf (instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Uq3yGDqEFM&list=WL&index=18&pp=gAQBiAQB ) then go to sendcutsend (SCS) and upload (dxf) they will cut the pieces to you. after that I used some jigs I think this is what you need https://github.com/japan44/Rail-Press-Jigs-and-templates ... stuffed them in a table vice and went nuts. looking up my order, I had some pieces that were .1" and others that were .048

hope that helps?

Going to pick up a qidi q2 soon was hoping they would have a black Friday sale

currently I have a elegoo neptune 4+ and I've been doing research quite a bit and landed on the Qidi q2.

even though I heard how good the centuri is I'll never buy another elegoo product mainly because I had mine crap out on me twice, and could only get good quality prints with some custom hacked firmware. and elegoo swore up and down about multicolor coming for the centuri... and I guess not what I've heard and will come out on the centuri 2...

bumbu I hate their business model, last I checked you had to load some updated firmware and all your prints go through them first before it comes back down to the printer, it was a big fiasco about a year ago. in all honesty, I'm waiting for them to monitor actively everything that gets printed and you know wont be 2a friendly

here's my reasons for the Q2

1. heated chamber
2. runs modded klipper not some propriety firmware
3. qidi box is only 150$ more for multicolor
4. qidi box is a filament dryer
5. qidi box is designed to run abrasive filaments through it (all the others thats a no no)
6. nozzle temp will do anything even peek if you want to drop the cash for filament.

just waiting for black friday or Halloween sale.

hope that helps.
