OpenQ1

The goal of this project is to create custom, community supported firmware for the QIDI Q1 Pro 3D printer, including:

• All features of the stock firmware, excluding PLR (it doesn't really work on stock anyways)
• The latest versions of klipper, moonraker, fluidd, etc
• Latest version of Debian & Linux LTS for improved security
• Improved configuration and macros

Features:

• Latest version of Debian (Bookworm currently)
• Latest LTS Linux Kernel (6.6.x currently)
• Printer software pre-installed:
  • Klipper
  • Moonraker
  • Fluidd
  • Crowsnest
  • moonraker-timelapse
  • Shake&Tune
  • QIDI Auto Z Offset
• Improved Q1 Pro klipper config and macros
• All stock features of the Q1 Pro, except
  • Power loss recovery was hacky at best on the stock fimrware, and is not included.
  • Screen support is still a WIP and is not included by default.

How to install:

Follow the installation guide. Note that this is still in testing, bugs are to be expected. Please report issues and feature requests in this repo.

Calibrate Z Offset

Unlike the stock firmware, you must manually run Z offset calibration. This step is not optional. See the explanation and guide here: Calibrating Z Offset.

Change Slicer Settings

OpenQ1 makes some changes to the PRINT_START and PRINT_END macros that don't always behave well with the default slicer settings. It is recommended that you change them, following the guide here: Slicer Setup.
