D3P RISER FOR THE QIDI Q2 by Darren 3d Print

CHANGELOG

Quaglozr designed drawer inserts for the Q2 D3P riser drawers: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/d3p-custom-inserts-for-qidi-q2

2025-12-23 Quagzlor designed a Multiboard and Opengrid adapter for the Q2 and we worked together to get one of my sets ported. To avoid confusion Quagzlor model page has both sets. link: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/d3p-multiboard-opengrid-adapters-for-qidi-q2

2025-11-14 Increased the side clearance for the bottom cutout for the front right and front left parts.

2025-11-3 I was informed that Qidi has seen fit to move the entry position of the rear PTFE tube higher on the riser they using for the Qidi box. This may be to allow a more gradual curve of the tubes to the print head. I have modified the design to include a PTFE entry hole on the Rear Left part in the approximate location where Qidi place theirs on their riser. I have also included a rear left without a PTFE hole. For those who printed the part already - there is no need to reprint. I have included a zip with a drill guide template that you can use to make the PTFE hole. You will need a 5 mm drill bit (0.2 inch). A photo is included with the zip showing where to place the jig.

2025-10-26 Two new addons - Top mount TPU spool holder and Side mount build plate holders (see links in addons section below)

2025-10-22 Added revised instructions to explain how to install the anti-tilt pins, the rear glass stop and the rear spacer. Modified the glass stop to make it thicker and provide more clearance.

Having designed a number of risers, I wanted one that offered it all, was modular for customization and also could be easily upgraded in the future. The result is my D3P riser system.

The D3P riser system is an innovative and modular riser system for your 3d printer. It features numerous free to download add-ons allowing you to customize your printer and riser like you want. The design of the D3P riser system is patent pending.

FEATURES

Features of the D3P riser system: • Front and side adjustable vents; • Add-on extensions for dual Qidi boxes units, single, dual and Quad dryers; • Innovative COB LED channels that feature brackets to secure the LEDS in place; • Top unit is set back to allow easy access to the printer from the top; • Sturdy and reinforced construction and design to prevent sagging; • Two large storage drawers with gridfinity style drawer inserts; • Integrated build plate holder for two build plates; • Integrated lid holders; • Multiple add-ons such as a modular tool tray, interchangeable external spool holder and more to come; • Detailed pdf instructions with pictures and steps; • Printing requires little or no support.

A regular and a long drawer are included. The long drawer will require a larger printer but is optional.

Glass lid anti-tilt pins: Print setting is included with this model. These are installed on the interior of the middle part where the square shaped cutout is. The pivot to allow the glass lid to be removed or to when extended over the lid they will prevent it tilting backwards. The parts of the anti-tilt pins were added to the print setting starting V2025-10-6 so no need to print these again.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

For the base riser: Filament: 2.7 kg Approximate print time: 3 days 6h Height with closed Qidi Box: tbd Height with open Qidi box unit: tbd

PRINT SETTINGS

IMPORTANT I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing.

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.

IMPORTANT: I was informed that Qidi has seen fit to move the entry position of the rear PTFE tube higher on the riser they using for the Qidi box. This may be to allow a more gradual curve of the tubes to the print head. I have modified the design to include a PTFE entry hole on the Rear Left part in the approximate location where Qidi place theirs on their riser. I have also included a rear left without a PTFE hole.

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 on a regular basis. 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.
