The Qidi xplus 3 is a huge 3d printer. It has a larger print area than most printers. I’ve had great results from my other Qidi 3d printers. This xplus 3 is excellent. I’ve been printing nonstop since it arrived. This is an excellent printer if you want to print larger items or exotic engineering grade filaments.Pros:Huge print areaFASTUser friendlyRemovable print plate is excellentHuge variety of materialsEasy for beginnersDependable and repeatableGreat free slicer (Qidi slicer) customized to this unitEmail contact for any questionsEnclosureHeated chamberIncluded dry boxIncludes two hotendsAssisted bed levelingTouch screenBuilt in lightFans operate automaticallyCons:Unit is very largeIt’s heavy. My wife wasn’t able to bring the package inside by herself.It’s hard to find something comparable in the same price range. I have a few Prusa mk4 units. This Qidi is faster and much larger. I purchased a Qidi xsmart 3 when it was released. That has been an amazing printer. This xplus 3 has been just as reliable while providing much larger prints.Print size:I printed a 10” diameter bowl without any lifting or print issues. Most larger printers struggle to print near the edges. This machine handled it like a champ. I look forward to printing larger holiday decorations. I plan to make a giant candy cauldron for halloween. It’s incredible to have a dependable HUGE print area. I haven’t seen anything come close to this.Bed plate:The removable magnetic print sheet is excellent. It’s the same quality one used on my xsmart 3. It’s a thick textured pei that works for pla, abs and petg without the need for glue sticks. That might not seem like as big of a pro as it is. Printing sheets are expensive, and glue is messy. This is a one and done sheet. You don’t need to fuss with different sheet profiles either. The bed plate has notches so you can align it perfectly every time.Enclosure:Keeps hands away. If you have kids or pets, the enclosure is a great benefit.The chamber is heated too, so you can print the engineering grade filaments.There is a rear case fan and a giant part cooling fan.Top cover has notches that fit into the top case. I like this more than the magnetic tops.The printer will tell you if you need to remove the top cover before printing. It seems silly, but it’s extremely helpful.User interface:It’s a touchscreen and easy to read. The unit has an auto load and unload. You get both icons and text. It’s well thought out and intuitive.The are NO bed leveling knobs to fuss with. The unit has a bed leveling sensor and walks you though setting z offset. Every printer should have this feature.Qidi slicer:You can download profiles for a variety of slicers on the Qidi website. Cura, orca, prusaslicer, etc.I recommend the Qidi slicer. It’s quick to open, easy to use and slices well. You get an image preview on the printer itself. The preview will show print time and material next to the image.Qidi slicer is based on prusaslicer. I’m extremely familiar with prusaslicer. It’s the easiest slicer I’ve personally used.Qidi continually updates the slicer profiles. This lets you skip fine tuning it yourself. I consider this one of the best benefits. You can slice and hit print. No fuss.Speeds:This is FAST. It’s faster than my long awaited mk4 units. Last Halloween I printed a cauldron that took a day and a half on my prusa. I had to reprint it multiple times after various failures. I printed a gigantic bowl this weekend and it took only 8 hours. Standard 6-8 hour prints are coming in at about 2 hours on this Qidi.I printed some engineering items for work. 2 hours, 10 mins. This would have taken a full day at lower quality on my printer at work.I look forward to printing ultra high quality items. Print time is no longer a deterrent.Materials:This can print more materials than any other printer I own or have ever used. I’ve had over a dozen 3d printers in recent years. This has a full enclosure, heated chamber, various fans, dry box, copper plated nozzle and a hardened steel nozzle.Pla, abs, petg, nylon, engineering blends, you name it.Help:Each Qidi printer has a dedicated email address for support. They will help answer questions and solve problems. It’s like having a personalized helper. This helped me a lot with my first 3d printer. I still email them years later when I need help. There are times when you know what’s wrong, but can’t figure out how to word it for a google search. Qidi let’s you skip that. They send videos back and have pdf guides with pictures too. It’s a turnkey experience.Build quality:This is built like a tank. Qidi uses high quality components. This is a workhorse printer that requires very little maintenance.Print quality:I put this through its paces with large items that have lots of retractions. It handled it like a champ. I had low stringing and excellent results. I haven’t printed abs with it yet. My other Qidi xsmart3 isn’t heated, and prints abs very well. I expect this to be just as good if not better.Final thoughts:This is a large printer. You can print giant stuff. You can also print regular sized items. It will handle the exotic filaments just as well as regular pla. I have two Qidi xsmart3 printers. Those are tiny compared to this. I still consider the xsmart 3 as the best low cost entry level printer. This xplus 3 has the heated chamber and gigantic print volume. If this fits in your budget and you would benefit from the print size or wider material options, you can’t go wrong with this.I’ll keep updating this review as time goes on. It’s an expensive purchase. My other Qidi printers have been excellent and this one has been just as good so far.
