QIDI Q1 Pro 3D Printer, 600mm/s High-Speed Fully Auto Leveling 3D Printers with Camera, 60℃ Chamber Heat, 350°C Print Support Carbon Fiber Filament, Tangle Detection, Printing Size 9.65"x9.65"x9.45"

There are other companies out there that restrict their 3D printers way beyond my comfort level, which led me down the rabbit hole of trying to find an affordable printer that was plug and play and I didn't have to re-level every print like I did on my old printer. And man does the QIDI Q1 Pro deliver! It was within my budget and integrated with all the technologies I wanted to use, all while allowing me to use it without selling my data or locking everything behind a membership of some variety. Initially, when trying to run a test print when I plugged the printer in, I got a bed heater issue. I reached out to Qidi and they had a new plate in the mail same day and I got it the same week! Charlotte was extremely helpful and empathetic. I haven't had any issues since! I have had no issues printing with this printer and am super pleased with my purchase! The bed and nozzle heat quickly, it is just the right size for its features (albeit oddly shaped - not quite a perfect cube on all edges). I have mine connected to my PC via ethernet, but having wifi as an option is nice too! Printing directly from my computer with Orca slicer is a dream. Gone are the days of USB-SD card adapters and walking the card across the room. This printer puts out incredible quality at incredible speeds every time! I love the detachable bed plates and easy to repair parts of this printer. Not to mention the integrated filament sensor and camera! I expected to have to upgrade the printer with those options, so I was excited to see they came OEM! My prints also adhere way too well on the bed. Sometimes I have issues needing to scrape filament off the bed plate, so I have some fine tuning to do! I only wish this had a multiple filament add on. I think it is an option on the newer printer they released. Would love to have some backwards compatibility for this thing! But when I need to, I will most definitely buy from Qidi again! Thanks for making a great product with great customer support!

This is not a perfect, trouble-free printer, but it gets closer to that than any printer I've ever had. When things go wrong, expect top tier customer service. I have two so far, and I keep stopping myself from getting a third. I have a small print farm with 7 printers, 3 of them are Qidi (the third is an X-Plus 3), and they are the brand I trust the most. You can already read the stats sheet, I don't need to repeat everyone talking about how you get so many features for the price. I'll start with the cons: 1) There is no built-in air filter for ABS and ASA printing. This is not a major problem for me because my high temp materials of choice are Nylon and PC, but it could be a concern for others. You can print a solution yourself, including one shared by Qidi. 2) The spool side mount is unstable and wobbly. Not a major problem for me because I print from dryboxes and don't use spool holders. 3) It is wifi-only. It is adequate, but I prefer wired connectivity for reliability. My X-Plus 3 has an ethernet port, which is why the Q1 Pro's lack of one pains me. My other non-Qidi printers are also wifi-only, so I might be unfair. There is one oddity I have to note: One of my hotends leaked. It took me a few weeks to notice. The leaked plastic took the shape of the silicone cover and was so smooth it looked like it was supposed to be part of the hotend itself. I haven't heard anyone else having that problem, and my other Q1 Pro is completely fine. I had even upgraded my X-Plus 3 to the same hotend very recently (because of the Q1!), and it was also completely fine. This feels like a strange fluke. Regardless, Qidi's customer service rectified the problem and sent out a replacement hotend within a day (it still hasn't arrived, as I only reported it 2 days from the time of writing). That lets me segue to Qidi's excellent customer service. This is the only time I've had to email them about a problem with the Q1 so far, and they were prompt. I've already emailed them a few times about my X-Plus 3 in my full year of owning it and had the same prompt and helpful responses. This is why I will buy more of their printers in the future. I get treated like an industrial business client and not a tinkering hobbyist. No other consumer- or prosumer-grade printer company acts like this towards their customers. And now the pros: 1) Customer service is excellent. See above 2) The automatic Z-offset is actually good. I'm spoiled by this feature. I wish I could backfit it into my X-Plus 3. I have a printer from a different brand that also has automatic Z-offset, and the Q1 Pro's is way more reliable. I have heard horror stories about some other printers that claim to have automatic Z-offset, but the Q1 Pro has a good one. 3) The filament runout sensor is just above the extruder. This means I waste only a few mm of filament when it finally triggers. This is a premium feature I've only seen in higher-end DIY printers, almost all consumer-grade printers I've seen have it further along in the filament path. 4) The tangle detection sensor is way more crucial than I thought it was. The runout sensor is only half of the equation. Some filament manufacturers tie the end of the spool or deform it in some way and it can get stuck in the filament path. This can ruin prints even with the runout sensor active because it will still detect the filament even though it stopped moving! I feel completely safe with spools running low on the Q1 pro the way I don't with my other printers that also have runout sensors. 5) Their slicer profiles are on point. A lot of companies neglect this. I actually modify my non-Qidi slicer profiles with inspiration from the X-Plus 3 and Q1 Pro profiles. The print quality is the best among all my printers. My conclusion: It's great! It's not flawless, but it's a workhorse printer with minimal problems and quick resolutions when they pop up. It's more a professional or industrial printer than a hobbyist maker one, but priced for the latter.

I never write reviews, but I feel in this instance it warrants it. Charlotte has really gone out of her way to help me with an issue I had with my Q1 Pro printer. I have been extremely happy with the printer, but I did run into a couple of small issues with it. After emailing Qidi for help, I was very surprised to find that Charlotte got straight back to me. And this was the case for every time she replied to me. And just as importantly her emails to me where actually very helpful, and it didn't take long to resolve the issues. This is often not the case when dealing with customer support. At one stage she told me that she would send me a new hot end for the printer, at no cost. I assumed that by the time she got around to doing it, and then going through red tape on her end before mailing it, that it would take several weeks to get to me. I was very surprised when it arrived to me only 1 week later. You often assume that products that are affordable come with poor customer support. But this is certainly not the case with Charlotte at Qidi Tech. I highly recommend their printer, especially with the customer support that comes with it.

Me ha gustado mucho, llevo ya 20 días con la impresora y me ha funcionado bien. Se que en el mundo de las impresoras 3D hay que estar listos para meterle mano y hacer ajustes manuales o cambiar piezas. Tuve un problema con el Hot End y dejó de funcionar como a la semana de uso, contacté a soporte y Eleanor me atendió muy bien. Me enviaron otro Hot End de inmediato, aparte me enviaron videotutoriales para hacer el cambio. Me ha gustado mucho la atención y la calidad de la impresora

This is an Amazing printer with an amazing customer service. It's perfect for a single filament printer. Qidi has come a long way and are making better and better printers.

El equipo es una Maravilla, es básicamente un equipo con capacidades profesionales con un diseño agradable para el hogar y la empresa, la relación precio calidad es la mejor que encontré, el menu del touch screen totalmente intuitivo permite tener el equipo operando en 15 minutos, se auto calibra y no requiere conocimientos previos, para el usuario exigente permite realizar el ajuste fino por medio de interfaz web, phone app o desde la aplicación de escritorio. Hay infinidad de tutoriales, manuales y videos disponibles en la pagina de soporte y me han solucionado todas mis dudas y consultas en menos de 24 horas cuando les contacto, esto es importante por que todos los equipos Electronicos fallan en algún momento, en mi caso siempre obtuve respaldo de la fabrica y surtí consumibles y piezas de desgaste las cuales llegaron en un tiempo razonable. El punto mas fuerte es la integración de tecnologías, nada que ver con equipos armados (DIY) se aprecian años de experiencia en el producto. Seguro mi siguiente equipo sera este o uno mas nuevo de esta marca.

Ya tengo una X-plus3, y ahora dos QIDI Q1. si la X-plus hubiera tenido la misma programación que la Q1 Pro, seria una bestia de máquina. Ahora confiare en QIDI, la impresora Q1 es practica, Y en caso de que tengas algún inconveniente el servicio es increíble estando en México. Siempre cumplen con la garantía, y Gracias a Charlotte por ayudarme en mis problemas técnicos.
