let me add a note from my own experience with this exact model. had some problems right off the bat, clogged extruder, bltouch malfunction, it was a lot of drama. However, QIDI customer service was EXCELLENT, and responsive with answers , videos , suggestions, and even bending over backwards to win my loyalty. I was frankly stunned after the bullshit I had to go through with Creality just a month prior. QIDI is becoming a favorite.

Aurora: You are brilliant - this is your most comprehensive review yet and I have seen them all. Your understanding of subtle issues like mechanical inertial filtering - heavy machine isolates vibrations better, requiring Z Offset adjustment for novice users yet still $1000+, why carbon rods are not preferred over steel even with the inertial penalty and using a 32GB SSD for gcode storage just begins to highlight your review's strength. While you and your team work for me, I sit back and await all the 3D manufacturers to read/hear your suggestions in the "CONs" section so that I can enjoy these improvements for which you keep repeating. BUT all in all, QiDi has a great large and fast 3D printer which I will consider - thanks to you and your team's review.

The automatic Z-offset function does not seem to be that complete, and there are occasional problems. After the leveling card determines the Z-offset, there is generally no need to adjust it. Other machines may require an additional Z-offset process, which will take more time. In addition, KAMP also saves a lot of time for leveling before printing. However, I learned from QIDI after-sales communication that this function should have been tested.

I just received my X-Max 3 the other day, and you seem to have one of the "original" versions. Mine has the carbon filter housing with air-flow holes on the top removable slide in/out cover, while yours has the air-flow holes on the filter housing facing towards the printer front. Also, my bed plate is obviously cast Aluminum, and has 9 magnets in the plate vs. 4 on yours. So far, it's quieter than my X1 Carbon (with AMS) sitting next to it. In fact, it's quite a bit quieter, esp. at the higher speeds (both top off, door open). I'm using Orca Slicer and having Fluidd access under the "Device" tab is great.

Have you upgraded your hardware yet? The extruder covers were replaced with ones that have fans/extra fans. A small breakout board was added to accommodate the connectors for the new fans. The USB-C cable is defective, you will get a new one of these (don't throw it in your spare parts box thinking that it is an extra. It really does fix a problem) A new bonding wire that goes from the bottom of the bed to the back of the printer. A new inductive sensor for bed leveling. As well as a magnetic sheet to even out the areas of magnetism. A new extruder. A new hotend. And possibly more (or less) depending on where your Qidi sits in the tree Qidi of evolution. :) At first my Qidi was nothing but trouble, but Qidi came through and fixed everything (for free of course). Their support is outstanding!

I do wonder if it would be possible to have a periodic round-up video where you touch base on some of the cons of the printers you have reviewed in the past months to a year to address whether the companies have fixed the problems that were highlighted. It can be hard to know if these issues are fixed when looking at buying a few months or a year on from when the big batch of reviews come out as most channels don't follow up on those points.

These newer Qidi he also reviewed and said they did it right this time. Now I'm considering the qidi again. But I'll likely stick with my decision to purchase Bambu Labs because of the AMS.

The main reason I even considered a Qidi machine was for the dual extruder for use cases where the Bambulab multi-material system was no good because of polymers that would cross-contaminate such as support materials that would lower layer adhesion.

Your review clinched it for me. 2 hot ends that are relatively easy to swap, easy printing of mundane and exotic filaments, the filament dry box, and heated chamber all sold it for me. The customer service and seemingly honest marketing compared to Creality were big selling points for me, too. Thank you for the great review!

If you can wait 6 months it seems it will all change with all the new corexy printers coming out. Every week it seems a new one is being sold. That will bring the price down or get you more features for your money. I'm still using my CR10s, A10m and flashforge 3 so when I do get a CoreXY I will most probably sell those and get half the money towards the new machine. If you dont need to rush just hang on. Not only the above but hopefully the machines would have been tweaked to get rid of any problems.

It should be noted that the X-Plus 3 and X-Max 3 were withdrawn from sale due to fundamental issues with the design. This relaunch is several months later. While it's commendable that Qidi fixed the problems, the problems indicated they tried to cheap out with the first revision of the design. As Clough42 discovered, they used a plastic frame instead of metal. I have to hope that Qidi has learned their lesson and won't try to cheap out again in the future.

the build quality was actually good...most of the design was metal just like the original xmax, the mistake was because they use a heated chamber and didnt compensate for it.... they also went for lightness by using carbon rods.... not hardened metal.... but they changed that back thankfully.. they also added better cooling to the hot end...then . Also reduced the price.. to $999... no doubt because they wanted to win back favour with the public. I'd say they definately learned from it. Ive had an orig. xmax for 3 years and its been great... so has the customer service. They made a mistake, but unlike many companies, they listened to feedback and fixed it..... very rare today. They also gave me $100 credit for paying $1099 for the preorder, then reducing the price to $999 in july These fixes apply to xplus 3 and xmax 3

Hello, As a beginner in the world of 3D printing, I am seeking some informed advice. My top priority is print quality and the longevity of the printer, rather than printing speed. If you were to recommend a 3D printer for someone in my situation, which one would you choose among the following options: the BambouLab X1 Carbon, the Prusa Mk4, the Qidi Tech X-Max 3, or any other that you consider a superior option? I would greatly appreciate your insights and personal experiences to help me make an informed decision. By the way, I've been enjoying the clear, sharp, and intuitive videos on your KZbin channel. Keep up the good work! Thank you in advance for your assistance!

BambuLab X1C, P1S, Prusa MK4, or this X-Max 3 are all good machines. If you need to print with more than one material, get the X1C or P1S. If you want a larger print volume, the X-MAX3 is also a good option. If you just want to get started with a decent small machine, the AnyCubic Kobra 2 Pro is also a good choice.

Qidi is sending out free upgrade kit, which includes, a new extruder housing (additional cooling), new inductive sensor - instead of the probe sensor, new magnetic bed, and new extruder cable. I set the z offset once, and have not had to releve it again. I have the qidi x-max II, and leveled the z offset almost 2 years ago, and have not had to do it again. So that is such a minor thing to have to do manually once.
@stew675
@stew675 11 ай бұрын
Absolutely agreed on Z-offset. It's something that has to be done once per nozzle change, and with nozzles like Diamondbacks on the market which can handle all filaments, it really is a "do it once" deal. Modern printers with auto-Z have to add on nozzle wiping and other measures to get reliable measurements, and even then it still goes wrong from time to time, for something that doesn't change in value unless the nozzle tip wears down (again..certain nozzles address even that). IMO, Auto-Z is one of the fancy new buzzword features where really, for all but the most inexperienced beginners, most times you're better off with the old-school manual once-and-done approach, because there's less things to go wrong.

Great review. For me, the z-offset setting is a deal breaker now I have used printers with direct nozzle offset calibration and particularly given the tiny space to get big hands in to slide the paper around. Having BLTouch rather than a piece system is also a backward step for me. Until Qidi changes those things, I'll stick with Bambu, but if they do change them, I may well buy one of these

Hello Aurora Tech, great work by the way. question with the VOXEL filament what is the maximun speed you can print on this printing and still have a good quality print ?
@AuroraTech
@AuroraTech Жыл бұрын
I won't print anything at the maximum speed but using the default PLA profile in QiDi slicer and print at around 300mm/s looks pretty good to me.

@@peadookie Now that I have a 3D printer with an AMS unit that also functions as a dry box. I’m not going back! I don’t do that many multicolor prints and when I do the designs are simple so filament waste is minimal. Even for single color printing, it is nice to have 4 colors ready to go without having to do anything at the printer. I have the PLA colors I use most loaded. Changing the spools is quick and easy when I need to.

@AuroraTech Жыл бұрын
This X-MAX 3 is more like a standard Klipper firmware on a DIY machine with solid hardware, the hardware itself is better than the P1S and X1C, but it may not work better than BambuLab machines right out of the box. But you can fine-tune the parameters in the printer.cfg to make it work as you prefer. On the other hand, the BambuLab works pretty well most of the time, but you can't customize anything.

Thanks for the awesome review. Ive been waiting on this one for a while mainly due to klipper anf heated chamber. Do you know if klipper updates are as frequent as the developer releases them (im assuming a delay because they would have to modify the base klipper each time)? Also, do you know if their slicer is in pace with the releases of betas for prusa slicer? I don't know what the benefit is of using skinned slicers, unless im missing something for this printer. I wonder if you can just use base klipper and forgo the screen

QUESTION: I am considering one of these high speed printers and have been wondering if when setting up the slice, do I setup the feeds and speeds in the slicer software or is that something that can be handled in the printer firmware so I dont have to create special slicer configs? How does that work?
@3dprintedhardware
@3dprintedhardware Жыл бұрын
In your slicer you find "add printer" then find your printer in the list. This will give your slicer all the main settings for your printer automatically. If you're printer is not in the list you can look online for you printer's configuration code and copy and paste it into your slicer configuration file. You will still have to change printing temps and speeds depending on what filament you are printing with. The recommended temp and print speed are usually posted on the spool of filament that you want to use.

BEWARE!!! They have a warning against using PLA filament with the top cover installed (because you might get a bad print), but there is no warning against using the manual controls, or just starting a print, without the hotbed cover installed (BECAUSE IT CRASHES AND GRINDS UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF). Apparently that problem affects all of their recent "3" printers. Now I'm hesitating to install a custom-built plate cover that isn't shiny and smooth, too. I just experienced that on a brand-new, factory fresh 2 day old printer with the latest firmware installed. There are posts on Reddit about it, too. The least they can do is make a simple software notice.
@AuroraColoradoUSA
@AuroraColoradoUSA Жыл бұрын
I put a notice on the front door "H.B. COVER!" I will replace the hotbed cover, hopefully it's compatible with their "induction probe". I'm guessing that device doesn't require a shiny cover since it supposedly detects metal (not a photosensor). My finger will be on the OFF switch when trying the homemade cover for the first time. The material is magnetic (steel), so probably will work.
