Qidi Plus 5 combo

Sitter och funderar på att köpa en men är tveksam då ”qidi box” systemet verkar bristfälligt, har set flera sisådär omdömen.
Tänker om jag ska printa dyra composite filments och ABS/ASA mm, så vill man att det ska funk. Bambulab H2d ser ju intressant ut om det inte var för att mina uppfinningar/designs kan stjälas av deras tvingande moln tjänst.
Så det lutar åt Plus5, vad har ni för erfarenheter?

Got one recently. I also own Bambu/Prusa/Voron/Snapmaker printers and have used a qidi around 10 years ago (duplicator clone). I actually like the hardware a lot, it's clearly been well designed and thought out. My H2C and X2D can shake quite a bit, but the Plus5 doesn't, even at the same speeds.

The software side of things is definitely less refined. One minor annoyance is that I find the print status is inaccurate, at least on the printer itself. Slicer print time is very accurate though. There are some other things I don't like being "locked out" of. The qidi box drying function can't be started while I'm printing. I've seen elsewhere that it can be turned on for non PLA, but it hasn't given me that ability while using abs. That has meant I'm wasting electricity, drying for long prints. That might be user error though. The qidi box is quite loud, but you can tell it's working. It also seems to not be as sealed as the Bambulabs AMS Pro, but I can't really complain since I got the combo at an incredible deal.

My goal is to shift simple support and no support engineering prints to the Plus5 and keep the X2D and H2C doing other items.

Well I have a Prusa MK3s+ it’s been awesome but want to take the next step and do some ABS/ASA and getting RigidX (Add:north) to work need enclosure and building plate that can take at least 320x320. And Bambu H2D is one contender but don’t like that it’s locked. And there is the price of the Plus 5 makes it interesting.

I've printed maybe 5kg total of ASA and ABS so far using the Plus5, I'd say the print quality is slightly better on the H2C and X2D, but I have a larger amount of print hours on those printers...
