I’ve been tuning the QU-BD extruders to get them to be more reliable. What I’ve found is that they are extremely sensitive to temperature swings. I’ve made a temperature table for Marlin based on the supplied information by QU-BD. Here it is for reference.

#if (THERMISTORHEATER_0 == 61) || (THERMISTORHEATER_1 == 61) || (THERMISTORHEATER_2 == 61) || (THERMISTORBED == 61) // QU-BD
// Thermistor lookup table for Marlin
// ./createTemperatureLookup.py –rp=4700 –t1=25.0:100000.0 –t2=150.0:1783.0 –t3=250.0:232.0 –num-temps=36
const short temptable_61[][2] PROGMEM = {
{187, 350},
{212, 340},
{241, 330},
{275, 320},
{314, 310},
{361, 300},
{417, 290},
{483, 280},
{562, 270},
{657, 260},
{770, 250},
{907, 240},
{1073, 230},
{1275, 220},
{1519, 210},
{1816, 200},
{2177, 190},
{2613, 180},
{3138, 170},
{3766, 160},
{4506, 150},
{5364, 140},
{6339, 130},
{7416, 120},
{8567, 110},
{9751, 100},
{10918, 90},
{12016, 80},
{13002, 70},
{13845, 60},
{14536, 50},
{15078, 40},
{15487, 30},
{15784, 20},
{15994, 10},
{16137, 0}
};

#endif

The results of my current print at 212C are below.

  1. Wow, nice result with your QU-BD! This really has been quite a project, but you’ve done great work so far. PS: Nice site update!
