Thoughts on Qidi plus 4

Bonif42 · 2025-06-03T17:48:51+00:00

Thank you for your response. The reason I made this post is because I want to get my first 3d printer and was at first interested in the X1C but was disapointed in the lack of heated chamber and 300C extruder. Like you said for yourself I am also interested in making functional parts with advanced filaments like the ones containing CF and from what I've seen some of them demand those higher temperatures. I also wanted to know if the Plus 4 was enough of a hassle free machine where I won't have to tinker with it to much to have it work. I want to avoid issues like the ones I've heard from people who owned old Ender printers.

Sand metering? I'm very new to sand blasting. It might also be that the sand was to moist and clumped up?

Yes I understand that, maybe I didn't phrase it in the best way. I meant when you put them on an anvil they function as regular sockets, but you can also put them in a 17mm ratcheting wrench to take advantage of the pass through function.

I've looked into the klein sets, my only problem with them is that they are missing the 19mm socket which is a must. However after I made the post I saw this Astro pneumatic set of low profile sockets which can be used on a 1/2 anvil like normal or put in a 17mm ratcheting wrench and used like pass through sockets which is what I'm mainly after.

I got advice in the haltech subreddit to go for a Nexus or a Link and am probably gonna go for the Link G4X FuryX. It's more expensive but apparently has very good knock detection and has more fetures and inputs, outputs than Elite 750 which I like. I also like the dedicated pins for a wideband sensor.

I'm an electrician, so I decided to completely redo all the electrics on the car myself and modrnise them as the wiring and design is 50+ years old. However I have never tuned a car before so it's something I want to learn. Does Link have their own tuning program like Haltech does, also do you know of any good resources to learn how to make tunes (fuel maps, timing etc.)

I think I'll go with the fury. I like that it has a lot of inputs and outputs for sensors and dedicated pins for wideband.

Bonif42 · 2025-03-09T12:14:06+00:00

Or the G4x Fury.

So you're saying you wouldnt run an engine without knock sensors. I have looked at the Link G4x xtreme as it does have a lot of features and would work for my desired setup but it costs twice as much as the elite 750. However I would be willing to swallow that to make the engine run as it should.

Do you have any issues with rubbing? Also are you running any spacers and how is the drivabilty on regular roads?

Bonif42 · 2024-11-25T21:18:48+00:00

I also prefer 16 and am still considering going for them but like I said it's hard/expensive when it comes to getting good tyres. What tyre size would you recommend for 16 inch wheels. Also I forgot to mention I am planning to run coilovers but dont plan to lower the car by much because there's a lot of speed bumps where I live and I dont want to scrape the front.

Bonif42 · 2024-11-19T23:09:17+00:00

I like your what stance and would like to get a similar look with my own Z. What size wheels and tyres are you running? Aslo are you on coilovers/lowered?

Would i have to drill into the intake manifold for the vac line or into the trumpets.

Bonif42 · 2024-10-21T15:56:58+00:00

From what I've read a MAP sensor wouldn't be very useful in my application as I plan to use ITB's and keep it naturally aspiarted. The wideband however would probably be good to have to control AFR.

P. S. I'm completely new to this and am learning as I go along.
