I have totally searched the web for a manual on this 3d printer, but cannot find any. Please help

There really isn’t a “manual”. Best bet is to contact QIDI for any documentation they provide with new printers. It is usually on the provided SD card.

Yes I had the sd with it on. Problem is my Schnauzer ate it for lunch.

Check out the group QIDI 3D on facebook. Someone may have a copy there.
