you can run screws_tilt_calculate to do the corners instead of paper. Can you measure the coordinates of the four bed screws and I can then supply the printer.cfg and macros to do it.

full p1s copy ?

For $799, this is definitely a great feature-rich option. I mean, the thing can print advanced filaments and gets hot enough to print things like PC and similar. Insane idea that you're getting that kind of versatility for less than $1000. Also, as a blind person, I'm glad this thing potentially will work with Octoprint as I can monitor my printer using my computer and screen reader software so I know what's going on. The problem I have with Bamboo is that their stuff is not compatible with my specific needs in mind and no Octoprint support so that means I literally can not use it as I can't see the touchscreen. Locked down options like that are usually terrible for accessibility for people with disabilities like myself. No one will talk about this but an open-software type of approach is best for blind folks who want to 3d print.

bless you buddy

For me, Qidi is a joke of a company. Scroll the comments, like Flsun did back with their racer printer, now they are doing it. Botting comments, odd fking comments from stripped old accounts to not get them removed. It's in every Qidi review, EVERY. Second, if a company needs to copy sooo hard the outer design of the X1C to lure the buyer into thinking they are getting the same machine but cheaper, for me it's an automatic NO. You don't need to copy so hard NON-MECHANICAL parts to create the illusion of the same product if you are confident with what you make. So in the end, two big red flags that will keep me forever to own a Qidi. Will buy everything else (except for Flsun, lol). Not a serious company

Nice seeing the sunlu against the rigid. I was testing sunlu and switched to rigid when sunlu corroded my vat and I was concerned with it hurting my printer. I switched to rigid and have been pretty happy. Not quite fdm strong, but much closer!

who cares, i only use it on full speed

I dont understand what 300mm/min means. How exactly is it measured?

Go for the Jayo ABS like, it's the same as Sunlu but cheaper, make sure the resin is heated to 25-35 degrees during print and cure the resin at 50-70C hot water, you will get awsome DMG resistant minatures.

I had my new Plus4 delivered today. Unfortunately an out of the box issue, that I've had to contact support about. Ran the first auto bed levelling after setup. It started through the motions then a "!! No trigger on probe after full movement" error. There was a confirm button which I pressed. The bed then proceeded to slam into the print head, putting a nice little mark on the PEI sheet and giving the same error. Tried the firmware update, then a repeat of the attempt. Unfortunately, the same error again. Now waiting on support to respond. Makes me think about your chapter "Should you avoid first batch products.." Ho hum.

One feature that makes the Qidi the one to buy... KLIPPER!!!!

I own a CR Ferret and both Revopoint Range and Range 2. Revopoint software is way better. I use Revopoint’s Revo 5, not the crappy Revo studio or scan software. It updated regularly. The only advantages the Ferret has is that is more forgiving when scanning an item. When tracking is re aligned , you wont have duplicate parts like extra noses or legs. The other advantage is the the Ferret can scan black objects. Revopoint scanners do take more practice, but you will have betters scans with practice.

Thanks for your help. Just bought Qidi plus 4, your videos are a real asset (Qidi should think about employing you). Printer is working great now, really pleased with. I did contact Qidi tech support about adding a Garolite bed and they said it could not be done because of the way the sensors work. My intention was to glue 0.8mm sheet of Garolite to PEI sheet, I would appreciate your view on this or any better way to print nylon. Thanks again all the Dave

Grazie per i chiarimenti molto professionali su MINI 2 Rvopoint che dopo diverse ricerche e confronti è diventato il mio scanner per uso dentale dove i dettagli sono molto importanti. Ho provato il Creality FE e rimasi molto deluso della perdita di definizione e anche per la complicata e imprecisa elaborazione del software. Per me Revopoint Mini2 è il migliore scanner in commercio a basso prezzo.

Can the front door be removed, and with it off would that reduce the performance of the printer (e.g. temperature-wise)?

Wow so glad i did'nt buy this , so riddled with problems , might buy once they have fixed all the problems people are having with this printer.

Great review. Have you noticed than when talking to the camera that there’s a load of empty space above your head? Aiming the camera a bit further down would allow us to see what you are holding. :)

double the price and up the quality ! first get rid of those X rods, its the source of all print issues like vfa. bambu made a mistake and they copy without ever questioning it. cant wait for the creality k2 plus review, they learned and added linear rails. but beware, the package is 52kg ;-)

Todays update fixed this. At least thats what description said.

As far as I can see is that this is a huge design mistake, taking the plate away also is counter productive because the hot air then would go straight into the print material maybe causing stringing and deformation, the only way would be to route the air flow differently which of course would need a wider chamber to add some kind of hose to move the air into another direction. Also making it slightly wider to leave a gap between the metal plate and the vent would be the best solution to fix this, but apparently they did not want to change the design, you probably can retrofit it with a hack on the case to add a bulk and move the heating element slightly out of the old case and leaving a bigger hole open! and introduce a gap! or by widening the case which probably would be the best fix anyway Qidi probably added the plate as a quick fix last minute but the engineers did not think about the repercussions of blocking the heating vent entirely.Either way until someone fixes it probably turning off the heating element might be the best solution the heatplate itself can retain some temperature, some people added fans to their Bambus to get a better heat distribution and let the heat plate do its job. Might also be a hack, if your print becomes bigger simply only use the plate and add a fan!

I see your point about transparency about the out of box experience - but it may also be worth considering that most people searching for info will probably find that review video and not necessarily the followup. Given that, if something simple like an update dramatically changes the quality, I’d lean towards including it in the first video.

Absolutely thank you for showing a fix for this. I am close to buying this printer and it seems the fix seems to be easy enough, now the only real downside it has is that a clogged nozzle is a ton of work to clean up, but I hope here for retrofit solutions. A friend of mine has the same issue with his creality not sure if Bambu also does have the same problem but for Bambu retrofit solutions already exist which allow a fast nozzle change which fixes the issue!

I think the best solution is to update the printer and tell your viewers they need to do the same. This way anyone who watches your review won't be misled if they receive a printer with the old firmware. This is the best solution for the manufacturer, for you, and for your viewers. To waste time on reviewing a printer with old firmware that has already been updated is coutner-productive for everyone.

I was close to buying this printer the bearing issue however leaves me concerned, regarding clogging, one youtuber in germany stated he never uses the automatic loading he just manually cuts then "spits out" the residue filament unloads manually then loads manually and then pulls in the filament until it drops, that we he can avoid clogging. I hope the complicated clogging repair can be fixed with after market nozzles. The lose bearing however lets me abstain from buying it until I either know it is fixed or I know a simpler fix than taking half the printer apart and adding foam (which does not seem to be a durable fix either) Thanks for this really honest review, thats a perfect examples on how small overlooked fixable details can ruin an otherwise really good machine! I have had that with my Cr10-s pro which i had to "repair" for a full week before being able to properly print. I frankly spoken do not want to repeat this experience again!

Considering everything up to this point, would you recommend the Plus 4, or the Q1 pro for a great all around(quality/speed/ multi filament type) first printer? Currently have a Neptune 4 pro and it’s been amazing but the quality isn’t really there (could be my tune however). Or would you recommend going to Bambi? Thank you!

Great video love your sense of humor. I have two early QIDI resin printers and the after sales service simply fantastic. Now I want a filament printer so i'm looking at purchasing the Qidi4 plus. Keep up the great reviews.

A few notes hope QIDI sees this. To date I have had zero issues, but glad I did catch your comments on this one before I go make a full 275 or 280mm height object in ABS or something requiring heated chamber to be on. I have had nothing but great success with the 4Plus received back on 25 September. I did send their tech support few notes and thoughts after seeing your first comments addressing this topic. If adding a heated chamber fan it should not directly blow few cm away from the ballscrew(narrower ducting or vertical uprights allowing hot air to not directly hit only one side of build plate, leave some room in the case design(perhaps a dedicated aluminum offset box area dedicated to a chamber heater)allowing for easy ability to add a custom duct on the outlet. I do see where this can be issue for the last few millimeters of a 280mm build height, but do see some workarounds that are possible, simply shutting off chamber heater for last fill layers my be all that is needed until the full fix gets put out. This may only effect folks with chamber heater on the last few millimeters, good catch(thinking some side ducts on chamber air exit may be helpful, but waiting to see what they come out with). I know they are working on this one, will see what they come up with, very important for me because 90% of all material I print has heated chamber going and I do on occasion print some very tall materials. Thanks for sharing this information. I have full faith they come up with a work around and fix, they do awesome job when things like this are found, they have a great running track record of adapting fast based on user feedback. This is all part of the whole mass market process for 3d printers happens to any and every company and the best ones learn, adapt, fix, and grow. That is the sign of a great company, so far to date every QIDI product has been rapidly updated based on great feedback from customers like yourself. This is not a reason to not buy, currently only effects small last few mm of full height and there are some workarounds. This machine prints some great prints, and is very consistent at doing it, not a game ender for me, it has too many pluses. Very happy with my machine, the Bambu while nice is way overpriced and does not come with the stock heated chamber, hence why I do go QIDI path. I had priced out Carbon X with heated chamber and price was around $2400 and than it only had the 250mm bed size, was a no go for me. The Plus4 prints out layers just as well as Bambu, has a larger plate(305mm is nice gain), and heated chamber for price of $799 was a no brainer. Qidi also came out with QIDI Studio which I am very happy with shows they are adapting the Orca and Bambu like feature sets which are a homerun. It comes down to what type of budget one wants to work with, I can purchase two machines for under the price on one CarbonX with heated chamber, with more capabilities and larger footprint, that is a complete homerun in my view. The negative is I lose all of the great software benefits that come with Bambu machines, which I will say is an amazing offering. QIDI release of QIDI studio is showing they are taking steps in the right direction with the software side.

I must of did something wrong because when I did this, my printer would no longer print. It stopped before bed level and would just idle with nozzle at 140 degrees. I'll try again as I'm sure it's something I did. Thanks for the info

I just messaged qidi asking about this and whether it be a replacement shroud that is redesigned or partial refund because it wont do as advertised it dosen't say heated chamber unless you go passed the 270 mark

How this gets missed is wild…. Like All this would need is a test print of the full volume

The good old "fix your new printer yourself" routine. Looking forward to the new Bambu with their "works at it should right out of the box" philosophy.

👍👍👍

thanks for bringing this up. been pleased so far with the printer - my first one so complete noob to the technology anyway. seems like a fix should be very straightforward for the manufacturer to push out a replacement part. luckily apart from a poop chute ive not printed anything over 100mm anyway. multiboard and wall art are currently in the queue - so hopefully by the time i'm needing to do something full height it will be sorted.

Just tested some Peek-a bench works well

So I removed heater and modified heater exit duct seems to.work now

Thank you for all of your efforts!

i just ordered mine and im afraid now lol

So stick with Bambu… got it!!
