    Another clear and concise review. Feels like this wave of core xy printers is really going to improve 3d printer. It's nice that it naturally has an enclosure so you can readily print more exotic materials. Would be good to see a review not just on speed but also how well they print ABS, Nylon etc

    Wow! This thing is only $299 on Amazon in the USA right now. That's a bargain for the speed and material options. It has basically the same print volume as an A1 Mini and is much more capable for the same money. Sure, no AMS option, but I think I'd much rather have an enclosed printer like this. Honestly think this is being slept on compared to a lot of more popular printers. Imagine if Creality or Bambu Lab released a small enclosed Klipper printer like this for $299. There would be reviews on every single channel as fast as possible and as long as it was decent people would be singing its praises. Even at $399 it's really a solid price. Good review!

    I almost forgot, because of you, I am a newbie that has mostly mastered my Ender 3 S1 Pro with the Sonic Pad hooked up to it, in just 2 weeks. So here's something for the work you've done. Then test out that Sgetti Detective that Creality said that's on there, please. So far, I tested it twice, since discovering it on there yesterday. Both times, it just made a mess. Bits of PLA tossed all over my office.

      ​@@RickyImpey P.S. I printed my first Speedboat at 26 minutes just now. 150mm/s. The first bit of the bow got wonky. Is that bad cooling when it starts curling up? The rest is super nice, but slightly under extruded. Forgot my CHT nozzle before I started. Lol

    Another great review Ricky. I have the XMax 3 on pre-order and cant wait for it to arrive. I was leery of doing a pre-order but Qidi has a good reputation for customer support and I respect the fact they stopped shipping the middle sized one because of the bed warping at print temp.

  • @billverine765
    @billverine765 Рік тому +4

    Update on X Max 3. Qidi apparently shared your concerns about the Carbon Fiber rods and they have redesigned with Stainless Steel tubes instead. They also upgraded the cooling in the hotend and put metal under the bed. I was really impressed with those changes and they listened to you and others that have reviewed these units. They sent me an email and it even had pictures of the new upgrades.

    • @jamesbont7052
      @jamesbont7052 Рік тому

      Although the metal rods do not contribute to cooling, they do require more maintenance and care.
      What Qidi doesn't mention: The x-Smart can also do 350°!
      Apart from bed ventilation, room heating and exhaust filters, it lacks nothing and can do practically everything that the X-Plus/X-Max can do. My favorite printer for small things! Especially since there is only one power supply running here, it is quiet and therefore energy-saving.
      Happy new year ;-)

    Another great video, thank you! Do you think this machine is comparable/a competitor to a Voron 0.2? I have been in the market for a fast rapid prototyping machine that is reliable and capable of printing PETG, ASA, etc. all day long. How does the PEI build plate hold up to PEI? I am quite shocked that more printers aren't' being shipped with G10/FR4 build surfaces.

      No offer from Creality on a K1 so I'm having to wait for a distributor to get some stock to send me one. I'm afraid my 100% honest review policy doesn't endear me to manufacturers all that much. You would be surprised how many offers I get to 'promote' products under the guise of a review which is something I just won't do out of principle. Be assured that when I do get hold of one, and have enough time to fully test it, you will get a thorough review 🙂
