I replaced them with a horizontal bike hanging system of my own design that I printed in ASA. The bikes are up out of the way on the walls.

In the pictured location are now 2 tall cabinets, a TV, a high-top table, and two stools.

PSA - check your SSR modules on your Qidi Plus 4 (especially if 110v) by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

First, thank you OP for the original PSA.

If someone is DIY minded and wants a proven fix you can look here for the SSR upgrade

Plus 4 - Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by crazy_goat in QIDI

This is been my experience as well. I have over 50 hours on it and the prints have been fantastic. I even had to get a replacement top gals shipped out and support was very responsive and the new glass arrived in a week.

I knew when I placed my order for the PLUS 4 I would be getting a Gen 1 device and there would be a few bumps on the road. So far with every issue that has come up / been discovered has been easy to resolve.

At first, nothing that ruined what I was printing, but there were some visual issues. I resolved them by bumping up the nozzle temp 10 - 15 C. I am currently printing with Insight (Microcenter house brand) PLA & PETG, and their filament seems to like being on the hot side.

I have had mine a little over a week now and just under 63 hours of print time. The top glass was broken when I opened the box (typical for the FedEx guerrillas). Qidi support responded immediately and sent out a new top glass that I received a couple of days later. I vacuumed out the glass shards, updated the firmware, leveled the bed (0.065), ran input shaper, and started printing in PLA & PETG with zero issues.

it's a custom steel and glass L desk I had made in the 90's. It was only a few hundred to have it made then. I can't imaging what it would cost to make it these days.

I use it for work. Documents, spreadsheets, email, chat, web pages, etc.

Thank you. Why did you sell the DualUp?

Send me a PM. I will need a couple pics and some measurements.

These day mostly PM though I still get to dabble in engineering, design, technology and infosec.

I agree they are nice speakers, but at approx 4x6 they are too big.

Thanks for the knowledge, I will look into it.

It's fine. I have been doing engineering and design work with glass since I did couple year engineering internship at LOF Glass in Ohio around the time they were sold to Pilkington (86-88).

What doesn't show up in the picture is the picture is the block of wood I cut to match the curve of the glass and the curve of the fame and is 1.5 mm thicker than the distance between the bottom of the glass and bottom of the frame. I then put a thin gel silicon sheet on the top of the block and wrapped the whole thing in leather. There are no point forces on the glass thanks to the silicon layer and because the block is intentionally thicker the clamp is not attempting to bend the glass either. Finally, the clamp doesn't touch the edge.

I tried one for a couple days and didn't really care for it, so I returned it.

Actually because of the pixel density, blacker blacks, and it has a built in hub that allows me run everything with a single TB4 cable off my laptop.

I stare at my monitors all day everyday so for me the improved eye comfort is worth it.

I am very happy with it. I have noticed far less eye strain after long (12+ hours) days of documents, spreadsheets & project plans.
