Fan mount… modified.
Used a hot air gun to soften the ASA and put a slight upward bend where the fan hits the print. Then I threw 2 washers under each ear on the z probe.
Everything clears the print quite nicely now.
The printer is currently printing a Wire Mount to bolt onto the aluminum parts to zip tie the wire loom to.
Oh. And I shot a bunch of video of the process of making the mount. I’ll get it mashed together and up on youtube at some point.
Wire tie-down mount is printed. It doesn’t quite fit. It hits the X end-stop. Adjusting design now 
AAANNNDDDDD Done.
I did notice the bolts holding the faceplate onto the main mount are a bit loose. I’ll need to remove the extruder so I can tighten the bolts back down. I’ll probably add some blue loctite to help hold things together.
Congratulations!! did you claim your serial number?
Snagged that over a year ago
I have the worst luck. I haven’t touched this thing in a few weeks. I thought I finally had it printing well.
Today I go to print something and it’s layer-shifting 
Check your grub screws!!
Close. Loose belt
That was my other thought. Hopefully an easy fix!
Last time i had that issue it was a bad motor extension wire connection.
I hate to say this, but I think I’ve decided to start saving for a Qidi 4. Maybe a Bambu P1. I haven’t decided which.
I’m at the point I’d rather be doing more printing than working on the machine.
Ryan has the Plus 4 and I have 2 Q1 Pros. Both of mine have been serious work horses. I haven’t seen any complaints out of Ryan with his Plus4 either. And with the Qidi printers you can still do skew correction if you want and you don’t have to do the cloud stuff to send prints wirelessly. I am really wanting to pick up a Plus4 as well, I am just waiting to let them come out with the AMS for it and hopefully pick it up as a package deal.
It’s his posts about the plus4 that made me look at them. Cheaper than what I built the mp3dpv4 for and all the same features. Slightly less build volume, but only in the Z direction. Although it doesn’t do the auto-bed levelling. I saw one review that talked about pushing the bed all the way to the bottom to level it before printing. Not sure how much of an issue that really is.
It does look pretty interesting. I hope their AMS is reliable. The Bambu one has seemed to get really good reviews.
My Q1’s didn’t do it from the factory, but the z_tilt settings were already in the config so all I had to do was add it to the print_start macro and they do it every time now. They claim it isn’t needed, and it probably isn’t, but I like having it on lol. They also do auto Z offset and so far my first layers have always been spot on.
Yeah no complaints. You can have it do a 2 stepper tilt, but so far it has not been needed. Very accurate for me out of the box.
I think I am going to get rid of my 6 V4’s, someone locally is sure to want a print farm for a good price and build one more V5 (already have all the parts) and buy another PLus4.
If for some reason their AMS is not good, there are a few other option these days, like the box turtle. I only need one for empty spools.
That one is looking REAL good. Little pricy but if it works good then its worth it.
