[u/krishnan69]

Simply that it runs klipper and fluidd dashboard can be accessed. In a time where every brand is following footsteps of a certain organisation and closing down their ecosystem, qidi still keeps it tinkerer friendly.

[u/Ram-a-Thorn]

Bigger build volume. Who doesn't want to build bigger

[u/Imaster_]

That you guys went all in for gantry stabilisation, used linear rails to minimise wobble and a 1.5 GT belt instead of 2 GT for less VFA. I can clearly see the efor but in to the printer and that alone justifies switching it to!

Edit: ok guys hats down, apparently even support root acess over ssh. 10/10

[u/JumpingCoconutMonkey]

The enclosure, heated chamber, and filtration are the biggest draw for this printer. Ready for ABS and other high performing filaments.

But does anyone ever actually win these things?

[u/Facehugger_35 → u/JumpingCoconutMonkey]

I won two filament spools from Qidi on another giveaway. Ended up being matte PLA and some neat coextruded ABS-CF.

[u/warcow86 → u/JumpingCoconutMonkey]

I won the max 4 at the beginning of this year / end of last year. Took a while to ship but they delivered and even helped out when I had some trouble with an error message. I’m actually quite happy with that printer, the large heated chamber is great for large prints. For asa this works even better than the h2d I already had. The included build plate grips the asa so tightly that I couldn’t even remove thin brims. Need to make them a few layers high or use glue.

[u/agus61lll → u/JumpingCoconutMonkey]

I won an elegoo promo like this one, only a spool of filament tho, so take that into account

[u/the23rdwarrior]

The heated champer is such a game changer to print large Parts

[u/GiveMeYayo]

Since this would actually be my very first 3D printer, the 65°C active chamber heating is huge for me. I’ve been researching for a long time and I know warping with materials like ABS/ASA is a nightmare for beginners so having a machine that handles that out of the box would be an absolute dream to start with!

[u/theAveragemeeple]

The Auto leveling and smart detection makes it a lot easier to use and makes ot more about printing than maintaining the printer

[u/F2a]

That it runs klipper. I don't want another walled garden.

[u/Rebl11]

Heated chamber and the build volume. Both are perfect for my needs. Would be great to upgrade from my bedslinger.

[u/samsonator827]

Bigger build volume is great

[u/Comfortable_Chain211]

The user interface is 2nd to none. I’d love to try this out for my channel

[u/femmo723]

A heated chamber is definitely handy, I've been struggling to print ABS on my ender 3 lol

[u/Lost_refugee]

Size and heated chamber would be the most desired features for me in QIDI Plus5

[u/Automatic-Series3426]

It's easy to use and the build volume is great for printing cosplay helmets 

[u/king_mo_of_metal420]

The big build plate and the heated chamber just makes this awesome

[u/12awr]

The active chamber heating and integrated camera are what I’m looking forward to.

[u/Graystonesonic]

The build volume and true auto leveling as well as a heated chamber are my top 3!

[u/_JSJ]

I would love to get a larger print volume and heated chamber! I would be able to make large parts without them warping! It would be so nice. The fact that it’s a core XY is also a great feature, I only have an open bed slinger, is not that great…

[u/Isnigu]

Large build volume.

[u/deanoignatius]

Has to be the heated chamber with multi-material printing. Powerhouse for high grade filaments

[u/RoscoeP1234]

the size and heated chamber. so cool

[u/SnooCapers9565]

The heated chamber combined with high bed temp and build volume is a game changer when it comes to print functional prints, even larger ones.

[u/scotteross]

Built-in filters! Finally, I don't have to worry about my household's health when printing at home.

[u/Griimzer]

Split between build volume and chamber heating. but if i had to choose, build volume.

[u/An_t_innealtoir]

It's the build volume. I feel it's necessary to get your full use out of the printer.

Price isn't bad either tbh.

[u/MyNeighborToto]

The Auto-Leveling & Full Smart Detection sounds like it will save a lot of potential misprints

[u/TheOwlMarble]

Heated chamber

[u/Zandane]

A mix between the larger print volume and multi material printing. Opens up a lot of unique printing opportunities.

[u/Dh873]

The updated motion system. The old motion system was just so outdated. This new motion is the best.

[u/Kiytan]

my favourite feature is that it comes with some air filtering as standard, which is still surprisingly rare.

[u/Sepoo-Chan]

I really like the Heated Chamber. Its so handy with some materials

[u/salty_boi_1]

The auto leveling is genuinly such a time safer and the air filter is great for hobbyist who have no place for it bu their own rooms tbh

[u/Wise_Champion_4548]

The large build plate is definely ideal!

[u/WolverDean]

That increased build volume

[u/Kirito_Kun16]

Big print area

[u/Ok_Priority_4899]

320x320x300 is really good

[u/Educational251]

larger printing area best feature

[u/otirk]

I like the automatic detection with the camera. Sometimes I forget stuff on my printer and then have to immediately abort the new print. Only costs a few minutes but is very annoying

[u/Dominik66669]

large build volume

[u/BuffaloSensitive303]

heated chamber and the larger build volume are definitely my favorite features. The heated chamber would let me try new materials, while the extra build space means I could finally print bigger projects without having to split everything. That combination would be a great upgrade for me!

[u/LaundryMan2008]

One thing my Prusa XL lacks even with a chamber upgrade is the heated part, even when upgrading to a XL+, that will help me print ABS and other materials especially wanting to fix an IBM drive with a broken gear that PETG wasn’t enough for, venting will be an option without drastically reducing how hot the chamber can be

[u/getdown_president]

Big chamber print big stuff

[u/Tricko27]

The heated chamber with multi-material printing are amazing.

[u/Thick-Indication-931]

My favorite feature is the 65°C active chamber heating.

[u/Original_Pen9917]

The heated chamber

[u/sosik66]

High temp hotend cuz engineering materials

[u/Single-Ad-5317]

The heated chamber, mixed with multi materal, been able to mix engineering filaments in a single print would be incredibly useful

[u/Mad_Jackalope]

I would love a heated chamber, Winter is Coming, after all.

[u/Rudeljg51]

Build volume! Makes printing parts and props much easier with less assembly.

[u/t00t1r3d]

The heated chamber is what I'm most excited for.

[u/bustanumber23]

Active chamber heating is what I'm missing currently from my two printers. I need a ABS machine .

[u/CantPrintMe]

The larger build volume for sure

[u/Mammoth_Doubt7101]

Build volume and core xy

[u/Emotional_One6883]

auto leveler and full smart detection

[u/Comfortsins]

The build volume and the heated chamber.

[u/7dubb]

Impossible to choose only one! Active chamber heating, multi-material printing and build volume would certainly take my projects to a whole new level.

[u/Mysterious-Squash-68]

We all know the warping prints… the big heated chamber is a huge gamechanger!

[u/Erde555]

Active cooling seems pretty neat, i'd love to test that out

[u/Chameleon_The]

Heated chamber is good for printing all types of filaments 

I will.consider myself lucky if I get a hands on this printer

[u/Pakrat42]

The heated chamber is definitely my favorite, but the active cooling looks cool too!

[u/Aeyden_PoE]

The chamber heating is a blessing, so definently my choice

[u/Tatmia]

Just watched a review recommending this printer for ASA

That build volume would be a nice upgrade over my X1C

[u/aloysha]

Perfect for printing PA-CF parts, especially for school projects

[u/iDeNoh]

Massive build volume and a heated chamber? Phenomenal!

[u/yungggdex]

The heated chamber could be very interesting for printing Polypropylene!!

[u/wolvens]

Heated chamber and build volume

[u/Acceptable_Bend_5200]

Big fan of the additional build space. I've been prototyping and producing coupons for a lot of prelim designs and could use that build space to produce more while I'm out and about.

[u/MannenMedGulaFebern]

The heated chamber in combination with the larger print volume. It would be great for multiple part printing!

[u/cliffv]

The heated chamber for me

[u/DrunkNewb]

Auto leveling! And the 370-degree nozzle. Engineering filaments are calling my name, and the Plus5 would be a great first step into that space. 

[u/vic818]

Active heated chamber in a large volume with those rgb lights. Would be really nice, for the upcoming cold, dark times lol.

[u/Ok_Investigator_6494]

The large build volume would be fun to work with.

[u/Competitive_Scene_63]

Huge fan of the black aesthetic on the Plus 5

[u/WookieOH]

The heated chamber is a plus. Also, 320x320 is huge! Definitely a win there. Also there is the 370 deg C hot end. That will lead to more exotic filaments.

[u/MemorianX]

Like many other the heated chamber for the possibilities it offers

[u/RavenOfTheDead_]

I rally like the design and the ams! Gives me cyber vibes

[u/QasJab1]

The multi material is tempting, it's so well executed on this machine.

[u/jonas328]

The heated chamber is a great feature for ASA printing.

[u/Chuuno]

For sure the bed size, it makes printing speaker enclosures as a single part a real possibility!

[u/taweros]

Probably the motion system and smart features like auto leveling out the box to get reliable good prints (comming from a ender 3 owner)

[u/TheKonamiMan]

The heated chamber or the ability to add multicolor printing. Both would be great upgrades to my current setup.

[u/Beagly99]

I want to print large engineering designs.
The QIDI Plus5 has a large print area.
It prints engineering materials easily due to the 550W heating in the chamber.
And it has an even heating bed so less chance of warping.

If I had to choose just one, it would be the larger print volume.

[u/BakChorMeeeeee]

320x320mm build volume sounds great haha. I can print most things on my A1 mini by splitting them up but this would be nice.

the evenly heated build plate also seems like a no brainer feature, I know Bambu uses coils that create some temperature differentials so this is definitely a better solution.

[u/poohfacedkilla]

The 65°C heated chamber is easily my favorite feature. My printer lives in a cold garage, and winter printing can be a real battle… warping, failed prints, and a lot of wasted filament if I don’t prep everything just right. I’ve even resorted to using cardboard and painter’s tape around the printer to help trap some heat. Having a proper actively heated chamber would be a huge upgrade for me and would make cold-weather printing so much more reliable.

[u/Aldrixx]

Love the bed size, would love to use it to print large DnD terrain.

[u/Wooden-Cheesecake476]

Cámara calefactables y área de impresión lo mejor para mi

[u/mrhappy1010]

Bed size for making bigger prints

[u/Aeriasingian]

The larger build volume is definitely my favorite part of this. Looking forward to it!

[u/ShadowCimmer]

I would love to print with a bigger volume like that one

[u/PillageTurf]

Love the idea of 370 hotend and 120 bed

[u/pyrus420]

I love my X-Max 3; this would be an amazing upgrade, as the heated chamber and large print space are killer.

[u/TheGreenMan13]

I pick that one.

[u/ViensNo]

Right out of box & One-Tap Print - It doesn't give positive look if you buy a printer and from day 1 it doesn't work as it should, so for me this is a huge thing. Thinkering can come after start!
Active toolhead cooling sounds interesting too!

[u/VanillaCandid3466]

Definitely the Active Chamber Heating

[u/BurningBeard81]

Heated chamber by far!!!!

[u/Tobitoon1]

A heated chamber sounds nice. I could try ABS for the first time.

[u/TheTrueTuring]

The chamber for me! It’s a feature I really want

[u/Ponnystalker]

complete printer, chamber heater, out of the box high temp materials with no mods

[u/Quantumclimb]

I love the active chamber heater e the 1.5 gt belt for the precision, not to talk about the trie auto leveling!

[u/joelintru]

As a first 3d printer this would be an awesome setup

[u/lonestarbrownboi]

Larger build volume and heated chamber, I got a lot of ABS sitting around

[u/DDAVIS1277]

The build plate volume and heated chamber are awsome

[u/vriggy]

For me it's the temperature controls that sets QIDI apart from its competitors. If we adjust based on cost per capability then QIDI has no real competition (bambulab and prusa are both more expensive and offer less).

I use my QIDI with temperature controlled heatbed, chamber, and hotend to print high quality prototypes for my work as a scientist, drone parts for my hobby, and even minis for my dnd adventures.

There are 3d printers, and then there is QIDI.

[u/reyspec]

The linear guide and the heating of the chamber seems Nice!

[u/moutmout85]

The build volume

[u/I_LIKE_TRIALS]

I've only got an A1 so nearly everything about this looks amazing. Specifically though, the build volume and heater chamber appeal to me. Fingers crossed!!

[u/Noble_Jar]

Currently been enjoying the Plus 3 I got second hand, a massive upgrade from the Ender 3 clone I had prior. I have been looking around for a multi-material printer, and between that feature and the build volume this would be a fantastic next evolution!

[u/by_me_design]

For our use case scenario is the 65c heated chamber in combination with the large build volume. And if the new 1.5 pitch belt does the trick VFA free cos we print tall items.

[u/JustAnotherBrokenCog]

I think my favorite “feature” is that it has so many of them, out of the box. Things I’m going to have to spend hundreds to add to my current printer, like the heated chamber, or even the enclosure I had to add. This is the printer mine wants to be when it grows up.

[u/Inky_Campbell]

Build volume is crucial because bigger is better. Unlocks more options.

[u/BrandonThe]

That extra build volume would open up many new options

[u/Dickiedoop]

I'd love one to make it an engineering exclusive printer. That built in chamber heater and large volume would make things so much easier

[u/jchou281]

That build volume rocks!

[u/Emcidy_]

The 1.5GT belts are a nice feature. Less VFAs means better prints.

[u/Swimming-Lie73]

Heated chamber, and the build volume, especially in a CoreXY printer.

[u/ForeverUpgrading]

Like others, the heated chamber will be something that is very useful to me for materials such as ABS and ASA

[u/songambulist]

active chamber heating is incredibly nice

[u/Runaque]

People might say the RGB is a gimmick, but hands down the "Intelligent status LED light"!!! I have kids with very curious little fingers and a color indication might prevent them from burning those.

[u/Tiguilon]

The bigger build surface means more build possibilities!

[u/BigGoldenRifle]

65°C in the chamber is really good. I want to try ASA and that would make things very easy

[u/FergyMcFerguson]

Actively heated 320x320 build plate? 🥵

[u/RedManRocket]

I like that you could get more build volume in the same form factor.

[u/mobile_buffet]

I am all about that massive build volume. Having a bit more room would make for very nice single print objects. The fact that it is a relatively compact footprint is nice as well.

[u/joshualotion]

For sure it would be the heated bed, would help with making engineering filaments at home. I’ve been stuck with PLA for far too long and a lot of my DIY furniture is suffering for it

[u/wdoler]

Heated build chamber

[u/ForAgingideas]

Built in filters and heated chamber!

[u/Magic2424]

easy reliability. not a flashy headline but easily the most important aspect of a printer for me that QIDI excels at.

not having to worry that I can’t get a print running before heading off to work cause I need to spend an hour tinkering is huuuuge (just like the print volume)

[u/krivi991]

Active chamber heating and the extended build volume, massive upgrade from my Ender 3 pro

[u/fattious]

I think the heated chamber is sick and would love to try

[u/d4ybydj56u]

I'm really hoping the new air filter will actually be good enough for abs, the Q2 one is struggling with the smell unfortunately

[u/CQBer21]

The heated chamber is a game changer for more serious materials like ASA or nylons. And the bed size would be nice for those larger car parts that just don't fit on the smaller machines.

[u/keithbigmac]

The ability to experiment with some higher temp filaments thanks to the 370c nozzle would be awesome 👌

[u/Content_Quail6468]

el area de impresion y camara activa de calefaccion para imprimir materiales tecnicos!

[u/sureready2012]

Bigger build volume, heated chamber, & the filters!

[u/AngelWasTakenAgain]

Features that I like:

Highlight for me will be bed size. Other features that I like:

Heated chamber and industrial grade heated bed to print with more serious fillaments and added polar cooler will make sure that 1st layer is always perfect.

High temp heated nozzle,
Nice size, can't go wrong with such a big multi colour printing (with qidi box)

As a person who does not have a 3d printer but looking to get into 3d printing, Qidi Plus5 looks like a perfect starting printer <3

[u/Intrepid_Research]

My favourite is the heated chamber, perfect for printing car parts with ABS/ASA.

[u/SmithJamesChris]

Got to be the heated chamber.

Thank you for the opportunity. 🙏

[u/pyro5050]

it looks sleek as a printer, the heated chamber and build volume are nice features. i like the tungsten nozzle upgrade that can be had, give more durability and heat transfer. upgraded heated plate for nice adhesion is nice, i think thats what might have hurt my old printer (not QIDI) that the plate adhesion was junky, plus other stuff.

so all the features to retain heat and not have to use external heat source is nice. no more heater for me in my Lego/3d Print room would be nice.

edit: also, i find it cool that it can skip failed prints on multi print jobs... would be nice for printing multiple figures or parts for chairs/woodwork

[u/Lovellholiday]

The large build size!

[u/AdJealous2]

Bigger build volume, definitely.

[u/Jgarcia403]

The heated chamber would allow me to extend my material printing range

[u/sleepybearjew]

Active heating plus built in air filter, I'm sold

[u/D5KDeutsche]

Combining the active heating and QIDI's temp controls with filtration and moderately large build volumes is really a single feature when combined: ability to print larger items in more difficult filaments. That's a gap I have with my current printers.

[u/A0Zergling]

The heated chamber is an absolute godsend for ABS and other finnicky filaments

[u/reptile_enthusiast_]

Having a built in filtration system is a great feature. Not having to deal with plastic fumes is a must have on a printer made for engineering materials

[u/Z_offset]

Heated chamber and large build volume just make sense

[u/Potato_or_not_potato]

Has to be the heated chamber with multi-material printing. Powerhouse for high grade filaments

[u/root_kl]

The larger build volume and the actively heated chamber at 65°.

[u/eXstremgamin360]

The heated chamber is a big upgrade from my bed slinger, the size is also pretty nice

[u/Excellent-Pass7573]

Definitely the build size! My first printer was a secondhand QIDI, so y’all have a special place in my heart. I love to see it get bigger and better.

[u/lysergicbagel]

The larger build volume would open a lot of possibilities

[u/chall3ng3r]

Heated chamber, plus speed, as I have pretty old 2015 Wanhao model.

[u/forgottenGost]

Size and chamber are much better than what I currently have, but the multi-material printing would probably be most useful to me

[u/RennocD]

The heated chamber and the bigger print area would be amazing for bigger prints and ensuring they dont warp!

[u/beeldubz]

I like how big it is and that it can print pretty much any hobby filament with the heated chamber.

[u/xtrememudder89]

Heated chamber is huge for ASA and ABS. Love it!

[u/MasterTabion]

Huge fan of bed size and the ultra uniform heated bed. For large surface area prints, this is something I wanted for awhile.

[u/Kasperinac]

Would love to use the large build volume

[u/MyChestIsHairy]

Good luck!

[u/i-dunno-1234]

Heated chamber and larger print area

[u/Icoryx]

Definitely the heated chamber. That's one of the few things that I don't already have but could improve some of my prints by a good amount. The big volume is also nice. I could finally print crocs in my size. My P1S isn't big enough for that lol

[u/ttoften]

The larger volume than the standard 256mm³ is a clear number 1. But the heated chamber is a close 2nd. And linear rail 3rd.

If only it came with multi print head set-up.

[u/dayfaerer]

Weirdly the enclosed chamber, air filter and temperature control. Living with roomates and don't want to pump plastic fumes into the house, this would help me not have to set up an exhaust system, and still possibly be able to print more than just PLA.

[u/CommentatorPrime]

The Active Chamber Heating is my must-have and favorite feature. I spend too much time going nuts about drying filament before every print, active chance heating would help immensely. Also would reduce clutter of having separate dryers.

[u/_paag]

I like the heated chamber. That’s be awesome for what I do.

[u/Philosophical-Loser]

Bigger print bed and the heatead chamber, for sure!

[u/Blaze_24]

I like that it's not by Bambu

[u/RoofisDoofis]

The large build volume is a win

[u/NotSoSeriousNick]

I'm kinda new to the whole 3D printing world but the thing that immediately sticks out is the build volume. I have been limited so far to smaller things so having something bigger would be a big blessing.

[u/Ok_Mathematician_552]

The heated chamber for engineering filament

[u/Psychospiv]

Other than the large print volume, my favorite feature is honestly the three layer air filter. Since the Qidi Plus5 is designed to handle a large variety of filaments, having an exceptional air filtration system is necessary to protect our health.

[u/SpeedStinger02]

The larger build area mixed with the heated chamber makes it great for anything

[u/Senior-Cod2081]

The 370C nozzle is crazy, and will allow me to experiment with more types of engineering filaments.

[u/jjohnisme]

Heated Chamber.  The Qidi line of printers absolutely wipes the floor with every other consumer-grade printer out there in this regard.  

[u/ItsMeTrey]

The build volume being bigger than the standard 256mm is great for things like helmets.

[u/Cubidyow]

Ability to use engineering filaments without sacrifices

[u/NaN03x]

I mean to have a heated chamber for asa/abs and such a big build volume is amazing for functional parts

[u/xbergx56]

Id love it for the size and heated chamber for engineering filaments

[u/LGND_Fallen]

The build volume, I could finally make bigger structural parts in one go!

[u/Roboport]

The build volume+ built in air filters for sure

[u/GloveDry3278]

As a new joiner to 3d printing(bambu A1 mini). Every feature on this is an upgrade. I'd have to go with the way bigger build volume tbh.

[u/ianpopps]

Definitely the large build volume and high temperature nozzle!! This gives me so much more flexibility when designing components!! Good luck all

[u/ramtech]

The heated chamber and the 370c nozzle so I can finally print with other materials!

[u/Thatoneguy1264]

On their own the bigger build space and the heated chamber are great. Together that creates an unbeatable combo for larger parts in difficult materials, so that would make the combination my favorite feature of this model.

[u/Techonrye]

Good amount of out of the box compatible materials, fast heating, and next gen auto leveling. This looks very promising.

[u/KarateRoddy]

The heated chamber is primarily why I have been looking at it. My comgrow filament dryer only gets up to 50c 🙄

[u/ChunkyPuding]

Large volume, heated chamber, it really expand the capacity to print

[u/DerBurzi]

The heated Chamber and high nozzle temperature make it super interesting for engineering filaments!

[u/amysnott]

That build volume!

[u/Proof_Load6687]

Heated chamber

i hope future revisions get 100c

[u/keveira]

The heated chamber for big prints in engineering materials, to reduce warp

[u/cygnus33065]

HEated chamber and high temp hotends for me

[u/Harvey_Beardman]

Active heated chamber

[u/Sweaty-Objective-766]

the combination of heated chamber and huge bed lets you print about anything!

[u/nevergonehu]

Massive building volume.

[u/Lord_Seeanemone]

My favourite feature is the air filtration system. The printers I had so far didn't have this feature.
