QIDI Hood / Cover Retainer Clips

thingiverse

This is a simple clip to hold the rear panel of the hood/cover of the QIDI Tech 1, 3D Printer in place. Without something to hold them in place the wings of the rear panel of the hood tend to push in and interfere with the movement of the extruders. The clips do not make it any harder to put on or remove the hood. I used 3M heavy duty mother-in-law tape to stick them to the underside of the top rear of the printer (see photos), the hold very well. I printed them in PLA, .2mm resolution, 3-layers on shells, 3- top & bottom layers, 30% infill and no raft. I did use supports and a 5mm brim. Had the cooling fan turn on after the first layer. Printing two of them at the same tine took 1:15. I printed using FlashPrint on a QIDI Tech 1, Printer.
