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

This is one of the easiest 3D printers to use I have ever owned. Setting up was so easy a simple quick leveling check and started printing on of the test files provided.I have been a 3D hobbyist for some years now and built from scratch my own printers and also have part assembled printers and these had a long and hard learning curve. With thousands of different 3D printer models available on the market today and that number growing every day, “Which 3D Printer should I buy?” is one of the most common questions asked. After a lot of research I chose the QIDI X-Plus and boy did I make the right decision.When you are first starting out as a 3D model creator, you want to be able to experiment with as many different materials and mediums as you can. With the QiDi X-Plus you will have no problems doing this as it is a well capable commercial or industrial 3D printer and makes printing so simple and easy.The printer arrived within 3 days of ordering I ordered the printer on Friday Morning and it arrived on Monday mid-day. Very fast delivery from Amazon and the post office Well done both. The printer when it arrived was well packaged with heavy gauge strong cardboard box and on the inside with a solid foam filler, which kept the QiDi X–Plus Printer snug and secure in transit. There was no assembly required. A simple check on the leveling and away it went printing for me.As with other QiDi printers that I own the build quality is outstanding. The external casing is plastic and metal internal frame is extremely strong and has a look and feel of quality. The love the colour and style of the case with the see through acrylic top and front door also the way the filament is mounted at the top for easy access and changing filament rolls. There is a holder inside that will allow the filament roll to be used from within the printer this is normally used for the higher temperature filaments. There are no sharp corners all the finishes are of a very high standard and durable.This printer has a single extruder that is changeable, a higher temperature extruder is also available free on request for the higher temperature filaments. I have not had the opportunity to try any of the high temperature printing yet at the time or wring this review but will do so in the future. I know that the printer is well capable of doing this and look forward to trying this.The Colour 4.3 inch LCD easy to navigate screen above the front see through access door, Magnetic print bed, Breakpoint printing (power failure), Auto close down when a print has finished option, Easy removal side access panels, and much more.The innovative design of double z-axis motor structure with 4 guide supports for greater stability works very well. Maximum print size is 270(L) X 200(W) X 200(H)mm.The printer supports file transfers via a USB stick, Ethernet and WiFi using the QiDi slicing software. The new “QIDI Print” slicer is provided and works very well. Other slicers also work like Cura and Simplify3D.I have communicated with the after-sales team in the past and this is one of their strengths to provide the customers a better product experience with very good support and go to great lengths to problem solve any issues that you might have. I have not had to contact them regards this printer except requesting the free higher temperature extruder at this time as the printer just works fantastic.In the box they even supply some spare parts with the printer as standard, including a tool kit with screwdrivers, spare screws, spanner, extra nozzles, PTFE tubes and so on.There's a thriving community of QIDI users on Thingiverse, google groups, etc. already in place worth visiting to see others who have already commented on this printer. If you need something to print there are loads of free models that you can download and print on the X-Plus.I've found that almost every component on the printer is changeable and replaceable, meaning that I can maintain this printer myself for years to come if needed so for me this is a very good investment.This build and quality of printer is a benchmark for others to follow.Cons:At the moment I have none. If there are any I have not found them yet but time will tell.Buying this printer was one of the best decisions I have ever made in 3D printers and I highly recommend it.Was the QIDI X-Plus worth the money… Oh Yes.

I was looking to replace my old 3D printer and did much research online and read user reviews of this printer from QIDI. What I found was that almost without exception the reports from owners were highly favourable about it.The price was a little higher than my expected spend limit but I searched until I found one on Amazon with immediate delivery and decided to buy it even though it was still £50 over my budget of £550. The printer was delivered within two working days.What is great about this printer:1) It's already built - I just had to remove the ample protective packaging material, level the printer bed (which took less than 5 minutes) and printed one of the test pieces supplied on the USB stick- and EVERYTHING you need to print is included - except the electricity to power the machine!2) The standard print quality far exceeds anything I had from my old printer - and without any tweeks or alterations to the QIDI slicing software settings.3) The build quality and sturdiness of whole machine is stunning. Everything just shouts top class design, materials and engineering.4) The ability to print difficult materials such as carbon fibre, nylon and other high temperature filaments using the supplied extra extruder and 300 degree rated hot-end which has a hardened print nozzle.5) The option to have the filament mounted internally as well as externally I like - though fitting a spool internally is a little awkward at first - NOTE the holder must be screwed all the way in else it will catch on the moving print bed.6) The magnetic print bed and sprung steel plate work combine well to hold items during the printing process.7) Not least is the superb customer service from QIDI. The team is very helpful and obviously know their product inside and out. I had a couple of queries about the printer when setting it up. My email messages to them were answered within 24 hours each time very helpfully and my queries sorted fully.There are just a couple of minor things I don't like so much: The "QIDI 3D" printer banner on the door which limits the view inside the printer. [Later] looking closely it may peel off - not sure what residue would be left behind though!The printer footprint could be smaller - there does seem to be some wasted space inside the printer - maybe it was originally planned to accomodate other parts internally.All in all I can fully recommend this printer - It would suit a first-time buyer because it is so easy to get it up and running - plus everything needed is in the box. New users would certainly have fewer print failures with this machine. I have been 3D printing for more than 3 years and this machine with all it's benefits is exactly what I have been looking for as a replacement for my old printer. And to top it all, customer support is excellent - definitely a 5 Star rating for them.
