Qidi Tech 1 Heated Bed, Wing Nut Covers

Made these great little additions which make fumbling around for the wing-nuts a thing of the past. Much greater fine tuning capabilities too. Had noticed that a few other users had to scale the component to fit the newer machines which seem to be supplied with smaller wing nuts. Mine was on of these (May 2017 model).

I was able make some modifications to the receiving slot & hole sizes to fit these smaller wing nuts: Reduced slot width to 2.1mm and hole diameter to 7.7mm.

Mine have fitted a charm :) Hope this may be useful to anyone with a new QidiTech 1
