D3P RISER FOR THE QIDI Plus 4 by Darren 3d Print
2025-11-7 Revised the connector so it can be printed on the side for added strength (plate 13). Revised the front, left and right vent inserts by decreasing the opening to remove the slight slit on the edge (plates 11, 12 and 13). Uploaded a new STL zip and 3mf print setting. These parts are optional if you already printed them. If you are in the process of printing then you can print the revised parts.
2025-10-30 Revised the following parts of the design and uploaded revised print settings (3mf), STL zip and instructions:
1. Added tabs to the front lid supports to avoid issues with the lid slipping off (new ones are available on plate 12 -)
2. Revised rear right to increase the size of the Qidi USB box cutout
3. Revised rear right and middle right to adjust lid holder position by approx 2mm.
If you are printing now you will want the new front lid supports. If you printed the rear right or middle right I would not reprint unless having the additional space for the rear USB cutout is a must then reprint the rear right. If having the lid holders at the exact same height is also a must (vs 1.5-2mm difference) then also reprint the middle right.
2025-10-26 Added two new addons - A top mount TPU holder and a Side mount build plate holder

SPECIAL THANK YOU
I would like to extend a very special thank you to Idus (https://makerworld.com/en/@Idus). This project would not have been possible without his help who worked with me and patiently printed test pieces and two test risers to make sure everything fit and took the photos .

PRINT SETTINGS
IMPORTANT I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing.
THE PRINT SETTING FILE WORKS WITH QIDI STUDIOS.
EACH BUILD PLATE HAS THE TYPE OF SUPPORT REQUIRED INDICATED ON THE BUILD PLATE DESCRIPTION (TREE AUTO, TREE MANUAL OR NO SUPPORT).
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: I am often asked the question about the riser deforming when using PLA when printing ABS or ASA. I prefer PLA since it cheaper to purchase and easier to print. I print all my risers in PLA but I seldom print in ASA or ABS. I have some users that printed in PETG and some in ABS. Both will also work providing your printer can maintain tolerances. PETG may be preferable if you intend on printing higher temp materials. PETG-CF has a slightly higher melting point than PETG so this may also be considered.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTRUCTIONS
A detailed instruction and assembly guide with steps and pictures is available for download with the model files.
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.
