D3P riser for Qidi Plus 5

**D3P RISER FOR QIDI PLUS 5 by Darren 3d Print**

The D3P riser system is an innovative and modular riser system for your 3d printer. It features numerous free to download add-ons allowing you to customize your printer and riser like you want. The design of the D3P riser system is patent pending.

**WHAT'S NEW**

Some new features:

- Qidi cooler holder – can be mounted on top or on a side shelf (later this fall); - Triple build plate holders; - New lid holder (these are meant for temporary holding) - Rear sliding vents for use with a new vent and filtering system (more details will be coming later this fall). The vent and filtering system will be offered as a paid addon due to the complexity of design.

**FEATURES**

Features of the D3P riser system: • Front and side adjustable vents; • Add-on extensions for dual Qidi Box and even for dual Qidi box and the Qidi Cooler; • Innovative COB LED channels that feature brackets to secure the LEDS in place; • Top unit is set back to allow easy access to the printer from the top; • Sturdy and reinforced construction and design to prevent sagging; • Two large storage drawers with gridfinity style drawer inserts 4x7 grid; • Integrated build plate holder for three build plates; • Integrated lid holders; • Multiple add-ons such as a modular tool tray, interchangeable external spool holder and more to come; • Detailed pdf instructions with pictures and steps; • Printing requires little or no support.

A patent has been filed for the D3P riser design and it is patent pending. I thank you for your understanding.

**ADD-ONS**

The model features a number of add-ons that are free to download on Makeronline.

I will be adding to these so be sure to check back from time to time.

**MULTIMEDIA**

I created an assembly video – it is for the Kobra S1 D3P however assembly is nearly identical -

**TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS**

For the base riser (approximates): Filament: 3.7 kg (black 3.3 kg, gray 231, green 200 g) (see slicer results in model photos)

Approximate print time: 4 days 17h (see slicer results in model photos)

Height of D3P riser : 20.5 cm (8 inches)

The footprint of the riser is the same as the printer

**EXTERNAL HARDWARE**

LED strip

I am using an 8mm 5v 2 meter COB LED strip. I suggest you get a 1-1.5 meter extension preferable with an on-off switch. I also use an external power supply for it.

This is the link to the one I used:

**PRINT SETTINGS**

**IMPORTANT** I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing and has the support painted by object.

**YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAINT SUPPORT AS IT IS ALREADY PAINTED. EACH BUILD PLATE HAS THE TYPE OF SUPPORT REQUIRED INDICATED ON THE BUILD PLATE DESCRIPTION (TREE AUTO, TREE MANUAL OR NO SUPPORT) FOR REFERENCE.**

I strongly recommended you use my print setting file. If not, I will not be able to assist you if there is an issue when printing. From experience, many of the issues with printing my models are on account of users not using my print settings.

**CHANGELOG**

If there are any changes to the STL files or print settings I will list them here. I recommend looking at this section prior to printing as it is the only way I can inform users of changes.

**3D PRINT SETTINGS**

I use the following settings and materials to print this model: **Infill % :** 15% (no need for more) **Nozzle diameter:** 0.4 mm **Layer height:** 0.2 mm standard **Material:** **The Qidi Plus 5 has an internal heater. PETG is the preferred choice for filament as it is about the same price as PLA but will sustain higher temps without deforming. You can also print the riser using ASA or ABS but this is more challenging due to possibility of warping. If you will only be printing PLA or PETG and will not place a dryer on the riser then you can print in PLA. This suggestion applies to the entire riser and not only the base parts.**

**ASSEMBLY AND INSTRUCTIONS** A detailed instruction and assembly guide with steps and pictures is available for download with the model files.

There is also an assembly video on Youtube:

**TROUBLESHOOTING**

All parts and the assembly have been tested multiple times (both printing and assembly). • Make sure your build properly cleaned and free of grease and oils before printing. This is the cause of adhesion. • Make sure you use my print profiles/settings (the .3mf file that has multiple plates with all the parts) and that you enable support as indicated for each build plate on the build plate description. • Filament and printer will affect tolerances however all should fit. If unsure proceed slowly and cautiously. • If there are any changes I list them in a changelog on the model page. Please have a look at it prior to printing in the event there are any changes.

I am available to assist with any issues with this model.
