> 3 dayIm a relative newbie to 3D Printing. I was looking for a fully featured 3D printer that worked out-of-the-box. I needed a printer both friendly to the beginner and powerful enough to print the most demanding materials. I found it: The QIDI X-PLUS is impressive! The machine came fully assembled. The package included a spool of PLA Pro filament, a regular extruder, an all-metal extruder (swappable), and a small toolkit with some spare parts. It had everything required to get me started! The instructions are simple and clear. I was literally making my very first print within minutes. I went on to successfully print models using PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, & TPU. And this machine has endured the punishment from my brutal learning process, yet it still works perfectly! NOTES: 1) The heated bed and enclosed chamber help keep the ambient temperature high & prevent warping. 2) The enclosure dampens sound & makes the printing process relatively silent. 3) Vibrations are minimal, thanks to the sturdy, cubic frame. 4) Unlike many printers, the X-PLUS extruder moves on the X and Y-axis, while the bed moves only on the Z-axis. So, you get a superbly detailed print. And you can record quality high-speed videos of the printing without any special equipment! 5) The leveling process, though not automated, is quick and easy. 6) The printing bed is very big! 7) The powerful magnets under the bed hold the build plate perfectly flat. 8) The cabinet is roomy w/ extra space. 9) Filament can be mounted outside or inside the cabinet. 10) The exhaust fan in the back can be controlled & has a carbon filter to help keep odors to a minimum. The QIDI support team is incredibly helpful and responsive. They reply to emails within 24 hours. They consistently work hard to provide clear solutions & guidance. And theyre friendly & courteous. I highly recommend this printer to the beginner or the expert!

> 3 dayHigh quality printer and very well built, definitely a step above the typical hobbyist grade in components, fit, and finish. Prints PLA perfect out of the box. some other materials need a little tweaking but thats to be expected. I liked the printer so much I bought two. Currently one is setup with CF PC and the other is PLA+. The Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate was supposed to be hard to print but it worked great on the first print. I have had the printers over a year now and Im very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone. I had 2 issues thus far that required support from Qidi. One was probably my fault on the print bed for the material I was printing but the other was a print bed heater failure. In both cases the support from Qidi was outstanding! Super responsive, express shipping parts to me at no cost, the support couldnt be any better.

> 3 dayThis is a phenomenal printer that is capable of printing almost instantly out of the box. Outside of a high-quality printer, their customer service is some of the best and most accommodating I’ve ever dealt with. After changing a nozzle and having an issue with my heat block they sent me a new one w/ some additional nozzles and extras completely free no questions asked. I cannot recommend QIDI highly enough.

> 3 daySo far, I am very, very happy with this printer. The print quality has been excellent. The machine is very easy to use. So far, I have had zero problems. Customer service was very quick to respond and I recieved the upgraded extruder within a few days (coming from the other side of the world!). I also own a monoprice maker select, and this machine is at least 1,000x better. Im not sure that I could be any happier with this printer right now. I will buy from this company again. Although no fault of the company, amazon definitely sent me one that had previously been opened. Like another reviewer said, there was dog hair in it. Some of the zip ties had also been removed.

> 3 dayThis printer comes with 2 heads (1 for PLA,... and the other for higher temperature filaments). We bought it for printing nylon (PA6) filaments, which requires a high temp of above ~280. It works well, so far so good!

> 3 dayShort review: If you are new to 3D and desire a fair priced, high quality printer that has the technical chops to keep up with you as you progress from noob to expert and from kid’s play PLA to high performance plastics coupled with absolutely outstanding factory support to guarantee your success, I highly recommend that you need look no further than Qidi. Long(er) review: I am a retired mechanical engineer who wanted to try my hand at solid modeling and 3D printing. Signing up fo a CAD account with Onshape was a no-brainer (it’s free) but now I needed a printer. After reading the reviews for the usual entry level suspects, I happened to meet a STEM teacher at a local rocket club launch. She told me about the variety of machines that she runs near continuously for student projects. She strongly recommended that I take a look at Qidi which I had never heard of. As good as the Qidi machines were functionally, she stressed that their factory support was beyond compare and that was pretty important for a beginner. She also said that Amazon usually has spare parts in stock and, when they don’t, you can get what you need from Qidi support or their eBay site securely using PayPal. I checked out a couple of reviews and youtube videos on the Qidi X-Plus and the machine really stood out but the price was a little higher than other entry level machines. My wife, thankfully, suggested that I should consider that it would be more costly to buy a machine that you grow out of and have to replace later than to buy one with capabilities that you could grow into…right again. Delivery from Amazon was within days and it was up and printing PLA test files within minutes of unboxing. Next I was successfully slicing and printing parts from my own CAD files. Everything was going smoothly until I switched to a spool of what was supposed to be ‘premium’ PETG (not from Qidi). Unfortunately I got a roll filled with a latent defects (weak spots or cracks) where it would randomly break at the extruder entry point when the machine was at traveling speed. One time the filament broke about an hour into a 10 hour run and was not discovered for about 2 hours. By then the extruder was bound up. I contacted Qidi for support and, although 13 hours away in China, received a response within a day. As an old engineer, I could not help but submit a slew of observations and questions. The very next day they provided me with videos, written instructions and walked me through the teardown of the extruder and replacement of parts to get me running. Sure enough a slug of broken off PETG had melted into a permanent blockage within the PTFE tube. Clearly this was not a failure of the printer but of the defective filament. Even so, they then patiently set to addressing all of my other observations, concerns, etc. over the course of about a dozen communications and even expedited shipment of spare parts from China so I would be prepared. They even took the .stl file that I had problems with and provided me with a unique .gcode file that they actually proved out via a 12 hour print. This was above and beyond any support that I have experienced from other companies. They say you learn more from your failures than successes so, needless to say, I learned a lot.

Greater than one weekIm a beginner but wanted to find something that would allow me to learn and grow and so far, I am very happy with the Qidi X-Plus. It looks good, was easy enough to set up and arrived leveled enough to start making accurate prints (I have leveled it since, which is really not that hard). the videos on their site show how to set up pretty well, and the customer service, although out of the country, seems to be a lot more responsive than most American businesses I work with.

19-11-2024Had some issues with machine, but the customer service was excellent. They have worked hard to resolve issues. The print quality is better than I expected. I have shown others with 3d printers and they complimented the smoothness. Also far easier to use than I expected. I have a cnc machine, and have used other similar machines. I expected 3d to be same difficulty with 3 dimensions. Adjust heat, choose material and print. Read other reviews this is worth every dime.
