R QIDI TECHNOLOGY X-PlusⅡ 3D Printer, New Upgrade Intelligent Industrial Grade 3D Printers,Large Print Size,Printing with Nylon, Carbon Fiber, PC,High Precision Printing,10.6x7.9x7.9 Inch

I’ve had this printer for 60 days and have had it running 24 hours a day since the first day I received it. I’ve had prints from 12 hr to 38 hrs. I am thoroughly impressed so far with the reliability and print quality of the X-plus, in two months I’ve only auto-leveled a handful of times with no other issues. Print quality is great and now that I have a Pro and Plus and a Max I am really enjoying the Qidi print software and how easy it is to spin up a g-code for different printer within the Qidi family of printers. As a professional engineer by trade I am very impressed with the quality of this printer and beyond satisfied thus far with its performance.

I purchased this printer to print ASA, ABS, Nylon, and PC--in particular for the carbon fiber and glass reinforced filaments in these plastics (it comes with a hardened nozzle). Setup was pretty easy, I skipped the test print with PLA and immediately installed the high-temp hot end and had no issues with the install. It handled printing my carbon fiber PC with ease and the enclosed chamber gave me prints with no adhesion issues (using magigoo) and no delamination issues. I had some left over CarbonX PETG that I tried next and ran into a problem, the extruder jammed. I emailed customer support and described my issues. I was told that the stock high-temp hot-end was not suited to print PETG. However, the great customer support at QIDI was kind enough to send me a suitable hot-end and fan replacement to fit onto the print head. I also purchased 0.6 and 0.8mm nozzles for the new hot-end. After switching to the new hot-end and 0.6mm nozzle, the printer has been running like a champ. No complaints what-so-ever and I cannot recommend this printer highly enough for someone looking for an entry-level enclosed printer capable of high-temp materials. Finally, QIDI was also very responsive in getting me printer profiles to add to Qura 5 so I did not spend much time using their included slicer. I really appreciate that the company is willing to help people use the software they want to instead of forcing the use of the stock slicer.

I am very happy with this printer, it came completely assembled and ready to go.

Ive wanted to get into 3D printing for a while, and I researched units for a long time before deciding on this one. I wanted to get something under $1000, preferably way lower if it was justifiable - but I also didnt want to buy something too low-end that I needed to replace once I figured out what I was doing. I settled on this one and bought it about a year ago, but only in the last few months have I really had time to get to know what Im doing and buy more than two rolls of filament. Im pretty happy with this selection after using the printer enough to figure it out. Its not exactly what I was expecting, but I had no idea what I was getting into, and now that Ive got a working knowledge of things I can see I made a good choice. The basics of the printer are pretty easy to learn. The menus are simple, though not very visually appealing - but everything is easy to navigate and makes sense. Switching out filament is pretty easy. Prints always stick to the bed after its properly leveled and calibrated - initially they didnt, but the gap between the bed and the nozzle was too wide and it took me a bit as a newb to figure this out. I like the illumination, the options for the high temp extruder and the enclosed print space, even though with PLA youre supposed to remove the top dome and leave the door open. The big build volume is handy - big enough to print some cool stuff, and if youre using the full volume its probably going to take forever to print anyway so filament quantity becomes a concern. Print quality is very good - I dont have much to compare to, but I typically have no complaints. Most issues I have are minor and are a result of being lazy with my print settings and trying to use the same settings for every different brand of filament I try. PLA isnt all made the same - sometimes its worth it to try some different things, but overall the default Qidi Print (a reskinned Cura, Ive discovered) settings do pretty well. Wifi functionality is handy, though finicky - once a print is prepared, it can be sent to the printer via wifi and started remotely, which is handy. Control panel software also lets you remotely upload files, start and stop prints, and control the printer. I actually had my first jam today, after probably around 50 prints. When trying to pull the old filament out it snapped inside the extruder housing, then the feed gears got stuck on it. I had to disassemble the extruder and do some work to clear the jam, but it was all of 3 screws and removing the nozzle, all with the included tools, and took about 1.5 minutes to get apart. Clearing the jam took about 5 minutes - I ended up hooking the extruder back up and alternated between trying to push the jam out with a narrow tool, and trying to feed both ways while pushing with another piece of filament and eventually got it out. I was worried I might break something, but its still printing just fine after. The only features I wish this thing had are filament runout detection and automatic bed leveling. With those, itd be perfect. I havent run out of filament yet, but I know that one day Im going to start a big print and the filament will snap or snag or something. Bed leveling has been the other challenge - I think Ive finally got it figured out, but it took a while to know exactly how much friction is supposed to be on the calibration card, how much global z-offset is needed, and the first layer settings to make everything run smoothly. A dual extruder and laser engraver would make this extra perfect, but it probably wouldnt be a $900 printer then either. Support has also been helpful - I had some issues with prints and they replied within 12 hours. They knew what I was talking about and made suggestions which helped. If youre totally new to 3D printing, some basic knowledge: Qidi Print is whats called slicer software - it takes a 3D model and turns it into G-code for the printer to use to actually make a print. It takes solid object and plans them out for printing layer by layer. Once you prepare a model, you can switch views to see these layers and exactly how the printer will lay out filament each layer as it prints. If you want to design things, you need some sort of 3D CAD software like Fusion 360 or TinkerCAD - these dont come with the printer. They can also be very complex and have a high learning curve, but once you figure them out you can make all kinds of cool crap. Youll also find yourself considering how you can design something to eliminate needing to print supports, which are extra pieces of plastic (like little towers) which are printed to hold up parts that overhang and dont touch the print bed. The printer cant just print a 90 degree bridge in thin air - something needs to hold the bridge up every millimeter or two, and the supports are disposable helpers to enable that. If something isnt well designed, supports can be excessive and a pain to remove after the fact. The slicer software adds supports if you tell it to when you set up something to print. Most PLA has printed well for me at 190-200 degrees at 95-100% flow. Leveling the bed so that you can just feel the bumps of the leveling card, and then adding a z-offset of 0.05 has made everything print and stick without being too squished. I also changed the first layer height to 0.2mm (from 0.3) to eliminate ripples on the first layer. Set combing mode to not in skin if the nozzle is dragging over the top of finished sections and leaving big lines in them. Infill is kind of your preference depending on how big your object is and how strong you want it to be, but 15-20% zig zag seems to work fine for most prints. Aside from that, default setting work well and you may need to play with them a little for each type of filament you use. If youre on the fence about a printer this expensive, or one for a beginner, Id say go for it - this printer does well enough that I expect Ill continue to use it until it dies or until I want to do something other than just print.

Update: it is now a month since we bought it and we have all the same issues. After 2-3 prints, it immediately stopped printing correctly and it has been tons and tons of emails with support who are giving us the run around. Extremely dissatisfied. Filing formal complaint with Amazon and other organizations. DO NOT BUY QUIDI PRINTER!

I bought my 3D printer on Jan 16, 2019, and I have been using it for my business for over 5 months. During this period I was a very heavy user. To explain it, I use the machine on an average of 15 hours a day 7 days a week. Since I am very busy, I rarely write a review of a product. However, This machine worth spending time to write a review about it because it is an exceptional 3d Printer. It is very clear that the company behind it spend so much time thinking about every small detail in developing the machine to make durable, easy to use, easy to maintain, and almost silent (without any exaggeration, it can be installed in the living room without causing disturbance). Moreover, the machine is fast and the quality of the printed items is very high and consistent. Best of all is the customer service, I had a minor problem a couple of days ago (It was my mistake, not the machine). I was so surprised by the quick response and the great technical assistance they provide in solving the problem and I do not have any worry about any spare parts because you can have very quick. In conclusion, I recommend this machine and the company behind it very highly.

The X-plus is the best printer I had so far (tried 3 other brands before). It is ready to go out of the box. I had question that was immediately answered by customer support. Highly recommended product and factory.

Ive been using this for about 8 months and it has, overall, worked quite well. When I have had a problem Ive had great response from tech support. I recently had to remove and replace the nozzle and feed tube and was happy to find videos that came on the included USB stick showing me how to do that, and the printer came with a set of tools for the job as well as a replacement nozzle and feed tube, so Im back in operation quickly. The tear-off plate on the bed is nice, with PLA adhering well to the top surface with no tape or glue required, only requiring glue when I use PETG and the back side of the plate. The Qidi slicer software works well enough that I havent used any other so far. Its a very nice printer.

We bought the X-plus last year to initially work on face-mask parts. The printer is well built and reliable. When we have had problems with different material used in the printer (i.e. using PETG but at too low of a temperature), support has been responsible on the various issues related to this to help get our print quality up. They have been very helpful over the last few months on several maintenance issues related to servicing the extruder assembly as well, which is inevitably needed after a substantial amount of use. I would recommend this manufacturer to other potential buyers.

I love this printer I am both a hobbyist and a tinkerer. I think its awesome that the print bed is very large, because it cuts a big chunk of time off to print small objects and large. I also like the fact that theres two ways to load and upload the filament outside and inside. The customer service is amazing always right there when you need them. The printer is very versatile ,easy to use and learn. If youre looking for a good quality, easy to use, great printing space, and sturdy frame. I would highly recommend this printer.
