Qidi Plus 4 Filament Cutter Buffer Block

I wanted to utilze the maximum surface area of my Qidi Plus 4, but while setting up a test print I ran into a problem with the exclusion zones pre set in the Qidi studio slicer.

With the “filament replacement” command on the printer display, the extruder is moved to the right front of the printer where the filament cutter handle on the extruder is pressed onto the buffer block to cut the filament for easy extraction of the filament from the extruder.

The original buffer block protrudes 3.5mm from the surface of the standing right front frame beam. Preventing you from using an area of the bed because of it. If you remove the exlusion zones in the slicer, a full bed print will have a layershift to the left as a result.

I made a new endstop to give you 5mm extra bedspace on the right hand side. In the slicer you need to change the extend of the exclusion zone on the right front of the bed.
