- In this video we provide you a walkthrough of QIDI Print. We cover most of the basics and some additional settings that we like to use. We show you where to find the “hidden” settings and how to set your slicer up to print a temp tower. After our long walkthrough, we show you how to set up Cura two different ways. I have included the link below for setup if you are using a QIDI X-Max, and then we show you how to find the information from QIDI Print to set up a QIDI printer other than the QIDI X-Max.

You guys should start doing daily videos, they helped me A LOT with making decisions on different 3d printers ect....
I would love to, I just need to find what people want/need.
Hey great video, I’m going to reference this once I start printing to try an improve the quality! I may have missed the information for the Qidi Tech 1 Printer settings for setting up Cura. I’m using Mac 10.15 with the Cura 5.1.0.
Thanks,
Kyle
I just bought a QIDI X-MAX second hand and have no experience. This video is very informative but I notice it is 3 years old. Would CURA still be a good slicer for me to use?
This video was very helpful. I wish I found this earlier! Figured out a lot of stuff through trial and error. Been wanting to try Cura but didn’t know how to get the g code. Thank you!
did you just copy and paste the g code start and end from qidi slicer into cura slicer ?
Yes
Great explanation, thanks again guys!
Wow brand new here great video but really deep for me lol
Definitely a lot of information, but hopefully it’s a one stop shop!
Awesome video, thank you, but the link you shared for X-Max Cura Profile is no longer working, can you share it again
I have updated the link in the video and it should work soon, if it does not already. Thank you for the heads up about this. Cheers!
Sure wish the resolution was high enough on your screen cap so I could see what values you have for each setting..
I will go back and see if it I have the original version to re-create at a higher resolution.
I’m having a hard time getting to that screen that looks like a printer plate. How do I get there?
Do you have a specific time in the video so I can see what exactly you’re speaking about.
How do you enable TRP on these printers? Do they have thermal runaway protection?
How do you get the slider bar to show up in layers view? I click layers but have no slider bar. I also don’t see my support even though I have supports turned on.
You have to slice it first before you get the slider bar and can see the supports. The other issue could be that your not looking at the sliced view because there is regular, X-ray, and then the sliced view.
Nice vid! I’m enjoying the Qidi print software. I tried a few other slicers but I feel like this one is doing everything I want.
Can you guys make a video about servicing and maintenance for the X Max? I’ve been running mine constantly since December and I’m worried I’m wearing it down lol
Yeah that is definitely something we can add to our video list. I am not going to give a timeline, but seeing how this is obviously important, I’m sure we can work it a little quicker. Thank you for the great video idea. We greatly appreciate it. Cheers!
@@Eitri3D That's awesome. No need for a timeline, just a request :D
Great video!!!
Thank you.
Anyone have any advice on how to get the Qidi Max 2 to show up in Cura?
hey I'm still pretty new to this stuff. I am having constant issues with the QUDI print slicer locking up and just taking enormous amount of time to put a couple of things on the build plate. When you went through this yours seem to work pretty well, it reacted immediately. Mine takes five minutes between mouse clicks. I've pretty much had it with this slicer. I've got a QIDI I-fast, Can i get a step by step process to go to Cura? I don't have the g-code for start and finish. Where did you get those. If you could even do a video on the switch that would be awesome. Thanks
Hello Eitri,
I purchased an i-fast a few months ago and I recently decided to purchase some new nozzles for the low temp extruders but they don't fit into the heat block threads. They're too big. My 7mm wrench that fits the original nozzles is too small to fit the new ones that I bought (MK10 Nozzle for 3D Printer, 18 Pcs M7 Brass Extruder Head Hotend Nozzles 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm fit 1.75mm Filament). Can you please tell me what size/type I should have purchased? I can't find any definitive answer online.
Thank you.
35:39 you say you will give info on where to pull info about other printers but I was wondering where I could find the info for the QIDI I-mate s??
Thank you for the video, cheers!
In the Qidi Print you can see the start and end gcode for your I-mate. That is where you can get it. The other way is to contact Qidi and ask them for a cura profile for the I-mate. Hope that helps. Cheers!
@@Eitri3D Thank youuu! :)
Do you have a video or know where I can find how to PID tune as well as adjust esteps on the x series? I’m used to Enders and using octoprint but I understand setting up that interface on qidi printers is quite involved so I’m looking for ways to just access pid and esteps via an emulator etc
PID Tune done via Octoprint is in Chad Mod video 3.
Just picked up a brand new Qidi X-Pro for $80!! Was disappointed when cura didn’t have a profile already 😔
I reached out to Qidi customer support to get the Cura Profile for this video. They are quick and easily the best customer support I have dealt with. Hope that helps.
@@Eitri3D awesome thank you
@@napieraustin No problem. If you have issues getting a profile, let us know.
@@Eitri3D "best customer support I have dealt with. Same here!
Great tutorial! So I asked this question on the QIDI 3D Facebook group, but I figured I’d ask you as well since I’m a bit stumped at the moment. I downloaded the latest version of Qidi Print (V5.6.12) on the wife’s MacBook Pro (running the latest MacOS software) and Qidi Print functions properly with my X-Plus BUT my QIDI Print software is missing some functions. My drop down menu options for “Build Plate Adhesion Type” only gives me “skirt” and nothing else. Another example is my drop down menu for “Infill Pattern” is only giving me “Zig Zag” and none of the other options. It’s like some of QIDI Print plug-ins aren’t loading when I open the program. Any ideas as to what I did wrong in the download? Thanks for any advice!
So I just downloaded it a week ago and have all of those settings available. My only advice is to delete it and download it again and see if that fixes it. Now I am running windows so if it happens again with the Max version, contact Qidi support and they will be able to tell you if it in their end in the software or if it is something else.
@@Eitri3D I tried erasing and re-downloading again a couple of times with no luck. Tried using an older QIDI Print version (V5.5.2) also with no luck. Updated to the latest MacOS (Monterey) and also no luck, BUT in all of that effort I discovered that the function options are actually there in the drop-down box, they just aren’t visible! So I end clicking on an “empty” highlighted box within the drop down box and it switches to the new option. Bizarre glitch but at least I can now get around it. Still have no idea what’s causing it. At some point I might start working with Cura, but for now Qidi Print does the job. I did let Sophia at QIDI know about
That is very odd. I’m glad you’re able to get what you need but that seems frustrating.
@@Eitri3D Yeah, Sophia said the QIDI programmers can’t reproduce the problem, so just specific to my particular MacBook Pro model which is close to 7 years old now. I probably need to get ready to upgrade that laptop anyway. Thanks for the great tutorials! My X-Plus runs awesome with Hume Beam’s light weight Icarus (Orbiter 1.5/Dragon hot end) extruder head.😀
Great video, have you ever tried to print ASA? Currently I am struggling.... Any slicing tips? Thanks for your effort!
Unfortunately my hardened nozzle still hasn’t made it here. I have ASA from my PROFI Box Mini, but the nozzle is due here today but still says “moving within the mail system.” What issues are you having though? May still be able to assist.
@@Eitri3D hard to explain. The fist 10 layers are perfect, but then I get heavy wraping. Regardless the temperature. I tried ecerything from 235 to 265 °C. Bed temp 90 to 110°C.
@@dstadt6169 my advice is to add a brim and give it a try. What side of the bed plate are you using and are you using any type of glue or hairspray to help hold it down? Worse case scenario is to use a raft, and I say that because it’s wastes filament and I know ASA is more expensive.
@@Eitri3D You don't need a hardened nozzle for ASA, it's not abrasive at all.
@@dstadt6169 What are your settings for the part cooling fan? You will have to keep it low, except for bridging and small layers.
Have you More Cura Profiles.. best/Good Fast etc 😊
Can i Download your Settings That i can Import? Thx
The links are in the description. Hope that helps.
@@Eitri3D Thanks 👍🏻 have you a Setting for Cura Ford the Qidi Max to print the „Eifelturm“ i have Problem with this print 😏 thx a lot 🙏
I’m not sure what that print is. I honestly use the standard Qidi Print settings minus temp which I raise to 208°C
Made a few of your Chad Mod extruders about a year ago and would never go back on it. This week though I want to run OctoPrint with Cura and the firmware the Chad mod uses does not get along at all. I patched it but all the plugin does is recognize that its flawed. What can I do??
On the X-Max of course, Its the Axis reversing thing. I just want to know what I should do,,or maybe different Firmware??
So the axis reversing should have nothing to do with any errors you’re getting. There has to be something wrong with the octoprint software. Ensure CBD_Fix is installed.
@@Eitri3D I did a re-install of Octoprint added the CBD fix. it when off no glitches and is now making a print. Your videos are great by the way! not sure where id be with out them. Thank you!!
Just glad we are able to help other. Cheers!
Good video, but showing settings and using Qidi Print software is out of focus.
Yeah I’m trying to figure out how an HD video lost resolution during the upload process. I am working on it, I promise.
@@Eitri3D I know the software as I have the X-Plus ,so no problems there.Good quality 3D printers.
