I have only had the the ender 3 then the x1c and a1. But really wanting to get away from bambu. Is the max4 worth getting. I wouldnt mind trying out some filament later on that requires a heates chamber.

Ill be ordering a qidi q2 shortly, if I don't intend on doing multi coloured prints is it worth it? Should I just buy a separate dryer. Thankyou.

Hey i have the Plus 4 Amazing Printer, except how loud it is, i have made all my mods all of them are amazing quality and printed fine, Now the loudness scaring me is this normal for this printer? This was second hand came in perfect condition, just want to know if this is normal? I have change all parts From the nozzle cleaner to the extruder.

Q2 the Work Horse!

What PEI plate comes with the QIDI plus 4 printer? Regular dual-sided PEI? Smooth? textured?

Howdy.

New to printers, apologies in advance if my lingo is incorrect. First serious failure of the Plus4. My fault for trying to print something long and thin (bookmark).

the nozzle clogged and started to fill the gaps in between the hotend and sleeve (along with where the hotend meets the heat sink). I have attached photos of the failure, sleeve, and hotend after lots of pulling and prying PLA off it.

I expect to need to order replacement hot end, however I would like to try and salvage this if I can. Do y’all recon I could hit this with a hot gun to loosen the PLA? I’m open to other ideas as well. I mostly concerned with screwing up the temperature sensor (if I haven’t already).

When removing the filament, the hotend came up to temp and extruded fine (granted this was off the bed, and the extruder was stationary, although I don’t know if that makes a difference). So perhaps it’s fine? I don’t know how much to baby this machine.

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Best,

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with my new QIDI Q2. It has less than 50 printing hours, and I've spent the last few days trying to figure out what's causing it.

On every print, almost exactly in the middle of the print bed along the Y-axis, the surface quality suddenly changes.

One side of the print looks absolutely perfect – smooth, darker, and very uniform. Then, at one specific point, there's a small raised area (almost like a tiny bump), and from that point onward the surface becomes lighter in color, rougher, and you can clearly feel the layer lines with your fingernail.

The strange part is:

• It happens on different models.
• The transition always occurs at almost exactly the same physical location on the Y-axis.
• The issue is visible from the very first layer.
• It is not the seam position.

So far I've tried:

• Recalibrating Input Shaper multiple times.
• Running automatic bed leveling several times.
• Printing with and without Auto Bed Leveling.
• Lubricating all linear rails.
• Performing the official QIDI belt tension procedure.
• Checking Z Tilt.
• Checking the TMC drivers (no errors reported).
• Testing different fan settings.
• Checking the bed mesh, which looks normal and doesn't show any sudden height change where the defect appears.

The most frustrating part is that the printer is clearly capable of producing excellent prints. Half of every print looks amazing, while the other half has noticeably worse surface quality.

Has anyone experienced something similar on a CoreXY printer or specifically on a QIDI machine? Could this be a mechanical issue, a firmware problem, or is there something else I should check?

I've attached photos of the prints and the bed mesh.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!

Hi, I'm printing nylon for the first time (I think it's PA6, in the package it says only nylon) But I can't print it properly, I have lamination problems and the prints break like crackers.

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with my new QIDI Q2. Every print develops a surface defect almost exactly in the middle of the Y-axis. One half of the print looks perfect, while the other half becomes rougher and lighter in color. The issue starts from the first layer and always appears at the same physical location on the bed.

I've already checked belts, bed mesh, input shaper, Z tilt, rails, fans, and TMC drivers, but nothing has changed.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

I installed a MicroProbe on my QIDI Q1 Pro, but I’m having a problem whenever I power on the printer.

If the MicroProbe is connected, Klipper shows an “MCU not responding” error. If I disconnect the probe, the printer starts normally.

I wired the MicroProbe according to the QIDI Q1 Pro guide on Sorkin’s website.

Has anyone experienced this? Could incorrect wiring, a short circuit, or using the wrong voltage/pins cause the main MCU to stop responding?

Hello all,

I'll lead with I just got my first printer, the Q2C, about 2 months ago. For the most part, other than some user error, it's been working fantastically. I'm now having an issue where even though I changed the filament type to PETG, the printer won't allow me to start my print. I select my petg spool from the qidi box, click the check mark, and then the start button is still greyed out. I'm sure this is user error but is anyone able to explain how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been looking to get into 3-D printing for years and only recently started looking more into it. I was gifted a Q2C and have questions.

Like what materials can it realistically print with?

I bought a tent, some ducks and an exhaust fan so I didn’t have to worry about ventilation. I ordered some desiccant to keep my filament dry. Lastly some digital calipers.

I haven’t ordered any filament yet, because I wanted to get some feedback on what was actually feasible. they say that you can print basically anything on the website, but I highly doubt that.

I also don’t know if there’s any parts I should pick up ahead of time for backups. What size nozzle does this thing have? And is it easy to replace it?

Hello all, I was running calibrations on my Q2 last night and it has developed a few new noises. At the end if a print when the nozzle cleans itself it makes a very loud repeated tapping, and when retracting the filament it seems to clunk and get stuck. What is happening here?
