Max4

You say this but this was not my experience. After a 50 hour 350 degree print, the sock is toast and on a subsequent print it fell apart without me touching it and ended up getting dragged by the nozzle destroying the print. So while I appreciate being told over and over to expect this implying that

That’s a lot of printers lol. like others have said buying the plus 4 is redundant if you already have a Q2 and max4. I say this as a Plus4 owner for over a year w/QIDI box. For me I had to also add the beacon and tinker with a bunch of other stuff to get higher quality prints. If anything, skip the

I recently acquired a used plus 4 that had the Qidi box with it. The guy couldn’t get it to work. He said the Qidi box needed tinkering etc. I got the Qidi plus 4 with 3 new plates, and a few spare parts along with Qidi box and 8-9kg Qidi branded abs for $200. I wanted to tinker and learn more about

Yeah, I wouldn't buy an X-max 3 at this point. They are well built printers, but the firmware is multiple years behind and QIDI has no plans of updating it. I personally am putting FreeDi on my Q1, Max3 and Plus4, and will check back in on the Max4 in a years' time. And to that end, I'd wait for at

Just one. I would suggest PA pattern. Tower in general is good too, but the version built into qidi studio sucks and also wastes a ton of filament. OrcaSlicer's calibration tools are much better, but IDK if it supports the Max4 yet.

My understanding is that the box works better with the Q2 than the Plus4 since the core specifications of the box were final during the development of the former. I suspect it will be a similar situation with the Max4. Just bear in mind that Qidi decided to close down the source code for the box ear

Agreed. With the exception of bed leveling, my plus 4 has been performing beautifully. It's a capable and reliable workhorse now that I have the beacon installed. I'm actually surprised that they haven't upgraded the plus 4 to the Eddy current sensor on the Q2 and Max4. Want to know what doesn't wor

All good comments and I have the Q2, but not the MAX4. I also have the QIDI box installed and the only caveat for me is that it takes two minutes 50 seconds to change a filament. That means for multicolor it’s mostly useless unless you’re only changing colors a couple of times on the model. My Prusa

Qidi X-Max 3 late generation user here. The printer is not too good on stock firmware. Also you need to tweak a lot of stuff and the slicer supplied is not as good too. Software is outdated and withiut a reflash you can not update it. If you want a project printer or something to work on, then choos

Actually, incredibly well!! I continue to use my plus4 with qidi box. Its working well, but I have to say, there is such a contrast with the BbL H2C. The AMS2 Pro is so much more reliable and professional. The qidi box clicks and bangs a lot. Sometimes I think its jammed or broken but it works. I tr
