QIDI TECH i Mate S 3D Printer, All Metal Frame and Fully Closed Structure, with 0.2mm Precision Extruder
Excellent industrial design, high-end manufacturing, it can be used out of the box. We adhere to high-standard production, strict process requirements, full mold design of the whole 3d printer, it is safer. Both closed printing and ventilated printing can be done on this 3d printer .
When printing ABS and other filament which need to be closed printing, the printing effect is better. Really out of the box, open the package, take out the complete 3d printer directly without any tedious assembly.
Outstanding industrial structure. QIDI Technology has always adhered to the use of high-end industrial-grade FDM structure. The printing principle is different from theDIY structure. When printing large models, it is more stable and more accurate! The print size is 260×200×200, which can basically meet the daily printing needs
Unique extruder and special printing platform. QIDI's newly developed extruder, with a nozzle of 0.2mm,it can print the surface of the model more delicately, with an accuracy higher than that of the 0.4mm nozzle.The i mates 3d printer will be equipped with one set of 0.4 mm extruder and one set of 0.2mm extruder.
Excellent user experience, friendly UI interface.It’s equipped with self-developed QIDI slicing software, two modes can be selected: normal mode and expert mode. The normal mode is suitable for novices, the parameter system has been intelligently set, no other operations are required, it is very simple.
Expert mode is suitable for experienced users, who can deeply participate in modifying parameters and personalized printing models.
Silent printing. A break point can be saved and the printing can be continued later. If power outage is occurred during the printing process, the printer will automatically save the break point.
1.The overall metal frame and the printing platform are different from the DIY assembly structure.Print with large-size model, it will be more accurate and not shaken.The platform is more stable.
2.Printing Size 260x 200 x200mm
3.Besides the 0.4mm extruder ,the i mates 3d printer adopt the 0.2mm extruder which makes the printing details better.
4. The silent mainboard adopts TMC2209 driver chip. The sound of operation is low to 50 decibels. Save power, protect your ears and not interfere with your family and life.
5.Magnetic printing platform is equipped with 9 pieces of special high temperature magnets and a special metal panel. After printing, you can easily move the platform panel and take off the model by bending the panel. This innovation is well welcomed by users.

When I hit the home button the plate doesn't rise? Any suggestions?
Mine arrived this morning. Much heavier than I thought it would be. And it no longer comes with a full extruder - just a hot head for 0.2mm.
Only done a couple of prints but its fab.
I was glad I had seen this. I just recieved this printer as my first 3d printer and the capacitor had also fallen out. Luckily I remembered this video so I am not too stressed out^^
+1 for the qidi PEI bed material. I recommend THEIR bed stickers to anyone with adhesion issues.
They ship some rock solid machinery. I have fed my qidi x-one² over 12kg (mostly ABS) and i haven't had a single print fail that was the fault of the machine. I havent had issues with skipped steps, thermal runaway, clogged extruders, or bugs in firmware.
I just love the quality of your vids :)
this is a well structured high quality review
Yea he really has the best reviews.
Love your videos bro 🤩 keep going and stay safe 💪🙂
5 mins in and i will say bless you for this vid lol 😆 first 3d printer so I'm wanting to make sure I don't mess this up
I have 4 sitting next to me, and a few other qidi printers next to those. If you're looking into this as a cheap enclosed printer, you can buy a high temp extruder from Qidi tech for $100 to print nylons or PCs. So $550 total for a printer that can do nylon/pc nearly out of the box really is amazing.
How can you upgrade the imate s to the high temp hot end
FYI: default retraction in Qidi Print is 1.5 mm and retraction speed is 30 mm/s for Qidi I-Mate S (PLA).
If you email the QIDI address on your printer they will send you the CURA profile for their printers, then when you click add new printer it comes up with QIDI as the manufacturer, and open that and it has X-Maker I-mate X-PLus X-max etc you can select your exact printer and all the settings are right - much better for a beginner, than using an ender profile and having some settings very wrong (like retraction etc).
Good model 👏👏👏
Should mention too that you get a solid printer, fully enclosed for running ABS for $420. Not sure but the second extruder could possibly be modified with a hot end making it capable of running Nylon/Carbon Fiber.
I just subscribed thanks for the help.
Very well done description video. Have a question. Do you think this unit can print a regulation-size ping pong racket? Printed diagonally. The measurements are 10.2 by 5.9 inches wide and a maximum of 2 inches high. Thank You
I've had trouble getting the heat of the print bed to stay below a certain heat, is there a way to set it to a specific one without it going over?
hey Vlad, many people mention the PTFE lining used in the extruder is not safe above 245 C, but here you are printing at 250 Celsius. What is your take?
If u got the x plus or x max the high temp extruder from either one of those fits on this printer no problem just no internal spool holder
Can u raise the temp to 280 then ?
Pronounced Chee Dee.
In traditional Chinese culture, qi or ch'i or ki is believed to be a vital force forming part of any living entity. Qi translates literally as "air" and figuratively as "material energy", "life force", or "energy flow". Qi is the central underlying principle in Chinese traditional medicine and in Chinese martial arts.
So I got my first clog and it was a bugger to fix. Im sure the extruder is off the shelf but so many screws. And taking it to bits was awful. Still like the iMateS but unclogging should be easier.
My other complaint is the build plate is very weak and tears easily. I have had to buy new ones.
I complained to Qidi and they say there is a new plate - costs more.
Can u review the vevor g920 racing stand?
how does this compare to the X-plus?
I would like to see its ability to print ASA and PETG, ABS as this is the only reason I would buy this printer, is that nozzle a proprietary design? what temperature can the enclosure maintain? If I did buy this printer it would be on the understanding that I can upgrade the hotend to one that can reach 300 to 350C and be able to pump out plastic in a comparable way to a volcano
I’ve actually ordered a Qidi I-Mate S and read/watched quite a few reviews. Some say the you should use a gluestick on the bed to prevent the prints to stick too well. I-Mate use the same extruder as the Qidi X-plus and some say that you can install a X-plus high-temp extruder (about $80) and print materials like nylon. But be aware that at the moment, Qidi Sales says that it is not supported. Great review Vlad, as always!
Did you try that?
@@infinitycyber9813 Not yet, I've ordered a high-temperature extruder from Qidi (their eBay shop), but it has been stuck in customs since the 19th of July... :-(
@@infinitycyber9813 btw; I've also bought a used Qidi X-Plus and refurbished it (new linear ball bearings, new carriage, new extruder cover)! So I can use the high-temp extruder on the X-Plus if it, for some reason, would not work on the I-Mate S. :-)
@@Tilten thx for your fast reply … hopefully it will arrive soon 😉 and of course work! Have a nice day ^^
@@Tilten nice ^^ I am currently adjusting my printer ! Its my first one 😁
how do i fix the z seam? I get this problem in most my prints and it's always so obvious
i would have liked to have seen what happens when the power does go out. Does it just resume after? And is there a way to adjust for that ghosting?
I don’t get ghosting if i use simplify 3d slicer. But if i use the included slicer i get ringing all the time. Not sure why.
Damn u got white filament with it i got the typical red with it when i got it haha
Perhaps use the default slicer next time as the acceleration profiles will be tuned to suit the printer and not the ender 3.. that's likely why you got ringing.
I get ringing using the included slicer but get clean prints using simply3d slicer. Not sure why!
You should do a unbox and setup on the Easy Thread x1the world’s cheapest printer
5 mm retraction on direct drive?
"let's go ahead and go ahead and go ahead"
What's the benefit to printers that lift the build plate up to print like this?
I was gonna write a comment about the difference between cartesian and corexy printers, but i just noticed this printer isn't a true corexy (those ones use 3 motors that are fixed), so i guess the only benefit of this is that you don't need horizontal space for the bed moving. Instead you need vertical space (much easier to have).
@@BetaSeven that's a good point. A big downside seems to be that if the print fails early on, it would be pretty hard to tell on this kind of printer
❤🔥👌👍
So here is my very short review of the iMateS:
1) an excellent printer that delivers very crisp prints.
2) very easy to setup and get printing.
3) the software provided is poor. V6.2.2 is useless and wifi printing does not work. 6.2.1 is much better and wifi print works. They need to fix 6.2.2. The slicer is good and I believe based on Cura.
4) is it worth the money? I paid £409 in the UK. It is worth every penny.
5) Should you buy? The helpdesk solved my wifi printing issue and they are quite quick to respond. They simply said go back to a previous software version.
6) Tomorrow I will try ABS - be interesting to see how that goes. PLA printing is brilliant
7) I have had several printers. This is by far the best.
Hey buddy, so I’m having this wifi issues, what exactly did you downgrade the printers software?
@@davper8619 I just used an older version (6.2.1) of the qidi software on my laptop. The printer itself is fine.
does it have a filament run out sensor?
No
whats the file for the spaceship
Why do you need to heat the bed in order to level the base?
Never mind...mine broke in 4 days. Have to send back. Got to love it!
You have to with any printer. Metal changes when it gets hot.
Mate vs MateS ?
Level
I so desperately wanted to like this thing but that ghosting and ringing is just terrible.
my dad took away my ender 3 pro plug and I don't know what to do
Why?
DO NOT BUY! If anything goes wrong (like a filament jam) you will not be able to fix it. The assembly is designed to make it nearly impossible for user repair. The screws they use are cheap and will strip out, making it impossible to get at the problem. Everything is so intricately designed once you take something apart (like the belt holder) you can't put it back together. This is a nightmare waiting to happen. DO NOT BUY!
