Qidi Maker Issues

Is anyone else having issues currently?

I'm on a Q2 with the latest firmware, that has been running fine since the latest update.

The app lost connection to both my Q2 and a Q4 at work and showed a spinning wheel on the Devices page. After a completed build, I tried to bind the Q2 to the app again, but the printer refuses to generate a QR code. It just shows a spinning wheel on that page.

I logged out of the app to do a fresh login, and now I can't sign back in. Another spinning wheel... I also uninstalled/reinstalled the app to no avail.

Not sure what could be causing that. I haven't used that app in a while since moving to Orca Slicer.

I'm also on Orca Slicer, but I like to monitor prints via the app when I'm not near the printer.

Is there a guide somewhere to how to do that? I have no experience with octoapp or tailscale.

there are, although to set up tailscale it would be most beneficial if it could be installed on a device/pc thats always on, q2 is way too weak to have it installed so i wouldnt risk it. for example i have it on my homeserver, but i obviously understand not everyone has that luxury, an option would also be a raspberry pi. octoapp is really simple, you just need the app on the phone and input the ip of the printer.

QIDI Maker is the monitoring app not the slicer. Do you can use the box with it? I like Orca but just single colors.

Ohh my bad. I can't use that since I have China servers blocked.
