I've owned the Qidi X-Max for over three years now, and it's never let me down. I print in PLA, PLA+ (190 °C) and TPU (225 °C) at 120mm/sec, and the results are always good, I reckon it could print faster too, and I'm sure I could tune the slicer more. It was not a cheap 3D printer, but it ticks all the boxes, comes supplied with a slicer, it has a HUGE print volume, an enclosure as standard (draughts are the enemy of good prints) and a geared extruder (so no messing about with bowden tubes). It comes with a second high-temp extruder...for ABS/Nylon, a top cover and some tools too but I've never needed to use those. The supplied slicer is based on an older version of Cura and it's very reliable (I use the Mac version). I contacted Qidi support and Linda sent a profile for the X-Max to use with the latest version of Cura. I've done some side by side prints (both versions of Cura), and the results were better with the supplied slicer, but I didn't do any tuning on either slicer to be honest. I did change the stock levelling knobs on the bed to larger ones (increased granularity) and replaced the levelling springs with silicone levelling columns. But I only level the printer if for some reason I've had to move it, otherwise it doesn't need levelling. I did use a dial gauge indicator just the once to help really level the bed, I'd HIGHLY recommend to anyone who 3D prints, it's a game changer. Get all four corners level with each other, and then just tune the gap between the nozzle and the printing surface. The printer does have WiFi and ethernet, but I think that the TTL value of the TCP/IP implementation means that both the printer and the computer you're printing from need to be on the same subnet. I always print via USB, so it's no hardship to be honest. I'd like to be able to disable the WiFi AP on the printer because it's an open SSID I think. The touch display is clear and bright, and the UI is very responsive, with levelling and pre-heating tools etc. Everything just works. I have used the X-Max with a Borosilicate glass build plate too, but 99.999% of the time I use the stock magnetic build mat. When I was in China recently, I contacted Linda and bought some spare magnetic print mats and some levelling sheets, which were kindly couriered next day. I want these in case I trash one printing PETG! The print head has only clogged twice, both with TPU, the material kinked. Five minute job to pop the print head off, remove the filament, it's very easy to see in there. Printer comes in a big cardboard box with excellent polystyrene protection. Would I buy another Qidi printer? Yes for certain. Why? Because it's a reliable printer, load the file, hit PRINT and come back when it's done. I do store open filament in a vacuum sealed bag with a couple of sachets of silica gel in there too. I've had PLA and TPU filament which is 2-3yrs old print perfectly when it's been properly stored.

I purchased this printer after cutting my teeth for the last couple of years on an Anet A6. I wanted a printer which had better quality, a larger build area - and more importantly, didn't require a lot of adjusting and tweaking between prints to get good results. The Qidi X-Max does not disappoint. A 300x250x300mm build volume means I can print most things I need in a single piece. Be levelling isn't required often, and when it is, it's simple and easy to do with a guided process via the 5-inch touch screen. The print bed has a magnetic top cover which has great adhesion on PLA and TPU (I've not had to use a raft, even for the smallest prints). The cover can be reversed to the smooth side for use with Nylon, ABS and Carbon Fiber. This printer can use a wide range of materials thanks to Qidi supplying a secondary high-temp extruder (which can be swapped out in just a couple of minutes. The printer enclosure has built-in LEDs so you can see your print on the bed (these can be turned off via the touch screen). You can also set the printer to power down once the print has finished. The software supplied is Qidi's own version of Cura. It works well and comes pre-configured for all Qidi printers with profiles for each material at a range of different quality settings. I haven't needed to mess around with settings to get results way beyond what my A6 was ever capable of. Along with an ethernet port (which would have been better at the back of the unit instead of the front) and a USB connection for a flash drive, the printer also has built-in WiFi allowing prints to be sent from the software directly to the printer at the push of a button. I've only had one little problem with this printer - a LED in the power button was flickering on and off. Not a big deal as it didn't affect the printer's operation. However, after emailing support at Qidi, they sent me a replacement part and full instructions in just a couple of days. I can't commend their customer support enough here. The X-Max is one of the quietest 3D printers I have seen, and with the door on the enclosure shut and on the cover on the top, the sound becomes even quieter (though it's going to depend on the material you're using if you have the enclosure open or closed). Prints with a lot of detail which have the extruder zipping around rapidly do create some extra vibration noise - but it's quiet enough that you won't hear it if you're in the adjacent room.

purchased a QIDI XMax II 3D printer nearly 2 years ago so I could print large items. Print quality and speed is impressive. I have used modified open source engineering design software to create highly detailed 1/4 inch scale railroad models. These large models have small sub-millimeter surface details that push the printer resolution past expected limits using parameter tweaks enabled by the feature rich slicing software supplied. The printer was delivered promptly arriving in a very well packaged box and was unpacked and producing superb prints within hours with the help of the supplied guide and really useful videos. The printer is robustly engineered with a metal frame ensuring mechanical stability and suppression of vibrations. The print engine mostly employs high quality standard engineering components in a neatly arranged layout with good access. The quality is such that after 2 years of heavy duty with only the usual cleaning and lubrication there are no signs appreciable wear. The printer comes with a comprehensive tool box with some spare parts that allow easy and straight forward maintenance thanks to clever design. The printer control panel is intuitive and simple to use and printing is quiet and reliable using PLA+, HIPS, ABS and TPU and can be left unattended without fear of coming back to a plastic birdsnest. Printed surfaces come out smoother than those of other printers I have used. The auto shutdown feature is a real energy saving bonus. Adhesion problems can be a source of frustration but the sintered steel build plate of the XMAX provides reliable model adhesion and a long usable life and I now use similar plates on another pronter. Customer support really is first class, providing technical support via Email long after the more usual 1 year warranty. Allowing for the occasional time difference delay, reponse to queries is prompt, effective, friendly and quibble free and any spare parts required arrive within a couple of days. In conclusion, if you want value for money professional quality, reliable, versatile printing with brilliant customer service then yhe QIDI XMAX 3D printer is highly recommend.

Fast Delivery. QIDI X-Max3 3D Printer. The 3D printer is Large and Heavy and Beautiful Built, solid as a rock. The print quality is the best I have ever seen, and I have owed 2 other 3D printers but the quality was always substandard. I invested the QIDI printer and I have not a single regret, solidly made, robust and easy to set up, the screen gives you all the information you need, the slicer s/ware is also very intuitive and easily mastered. As stated, the print quality is brilliant, you could easily sell any print, the quality is that good. I use it for my Amateur Radio hobby and print stands for my radios as well as other requests from my friends. I have no problem in giving QIDI a full 5 star review for this printer and their great customer response, The company have been very helpful in giving me advice on how to get great prints from their printer, love the live Z axis adjustment when putting down the initial first layer print.

IF YOUR PRINTER DOES NOT TURN ON - SWITCH OFF AT MAINS AND UNPLUG! My X-Max 3 printer arrived - I plugged it in and switched it on at the mains and the rear switch, which illuminated. The machine did not boot up. I tried again (off and on) with no effect. I turned it off and moved the printer onto its side to take off the bottom panel. Underneath, I found a lethal error which should have been caught by the most basic QC check. THE LIVE CONNECTION WAS WIRED TO THE CHASSIS EARTH. If you understand basic electrics, you will likely be horrified. If you don't - what this means is that the normally safe, exposed metal parts of the printer were LIVE at 240 volts. Which can kill you. The earth connection to the plug was wired to where the live should have gone, by the way - I swapped the two, mixed up blade terminal connections over and the printer booted after that. This kind of fault is inexcusable and should never have left the factory. QIDI leadership need to take a look at what is going on in their quality control process for this to make it out of the door. The fact that the machine did not power on shows that nobody connected a mains cable to it to check that. Who knows, this may be a one in a million but IT COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. I would love to rate higher than 1 star - printing performance is excellent, but others can attest to that. I can only rate it based on my personal experience as a whole, and that is: I am fortunate to have lived through it. See pictures, prior to being fixed: The live connection comes in at the bottom green circle, goes through a connecting metal plate, a fuse, red wire, switch and then out via the yellow wire at the top green circle - straight into the chassis. Picture of connection to chassis shows the 240 volts vs neutral...

As someone who is completely new to 3D printing, I did a lot of research and I read a lot of articles and reviews before buying this printer and it's lived up to expectations. I wanted an enclosed printer that required minimal setup, was capable of printing out of the box, with auto-levelling bed, filament run out detector (which doesn’t come as standard but I was able to purchase this separately from Qidi) The Qidi XMax ticked all of those boxes. The XMax is big, it has a very large footprint so it needs plenty of room and it’s heavy. You really are buying a quality machine that seems very well built. Setup was a breeze out of the box, I followed the video that came with it and was up and running in no time. Auto bed levelling is easy and the touch screen controls all work perfectly and shortly after installing the software on my pc, I was up and running with my first print. Bed adhesion especially on the first few prints is excellent, in fact if anything was a little too good and it was difficult to remove the prints at first but I found that by heating the print bed after the prints were finished it helped to get the prints off. I’ve attached some pictures of the prints all of which were found on Thingiverse. Changing out the print heads to print in ABS and carbon fibre takes a bit of getting used to but once you’ve done it a couple of times it’s not too difficult. If you’re only going to print in PLA, then you can probably get something a lot cheaper, I would personally just look for something with auto bed levelling as a level bed and decent bed adhesion seem to be the key to a decent print. If you are looking for an out of the box printer that can print with minimal set up, then you won’t go wrong with this one. So why only 4 stars? For this price I think the filament runout sensor should have come as standard, also having to swap the heads about for different types of filaments seems a bit of a faff. If 3D printing is going to be a hobby and all you’re going to do is print in PLA, then this printer is definitely at the higher end of the market and you will probably get away with a cheaper unenclosed model as in my very limited experience PLA seems to be very forgiving and strong enough for most things. If you are going to take advantage of the hot end and print in CF or ABS then you really won’t go wrong with this printer.
