QIDI TECH X-Pro Dual extruder 3D Printer with WiFi Function high Precision Double Color 3d printer

It is very sturdy, with a simple design that makes it easy to use, maintain and troubleshoot. The provided software for slicing and printing is Cura based. I use mine with Simplify3D mostly. It also comes with a control/monitoring application that I use through WiFi. Once you start using the magnetic removable hotbed you never want to go back to a printer that does not have one. I swapped the original brass nozzles with stainless steel ones that are easier to clean, but you don't need to. I also built a filament dry box that you will really need to keep good filament adhesion and surface finish if your printer is in a place with high air humidity.

I use the dual extruder for mixed color PLA prints. Once you find the proper configuration parameters for your setup and print job everything is a breeze. I have only needed to contact tech support once and they got back to me within a day. You can tell they care for their customers.

The full metal frame is extremely nice and the printer overall looks very nice. The full mental frame definitely makes it feel more durable and look more premium. There is also a level of stability achieved by having such a thick frame to cover the housing.
The software used with the printer is fairly nice and has advanced settings similar to Cura.
The touch screen is a nice touch and really makes traveling through the printer tools and other activities very user friendly with instructions right on the screen of how to do certain things.
The ability to print in a variety of plastics is very nice. It prints in PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU. I have tested all but TPU as you have to print a different filament holder to be able to print that and I haven’t done that yet.
The technical support seems extremely friendly and check up on you if you don’t answer in a while. They will also send you firmware updates if you request because of some issue you’re having.

The touch screen is very easy to use and is very intuitive. The print quality is very good as long as you get the right settings, and I LOVE the WiFi printing combined with their own slicer because it lets me go straight from my Fusion 360 CAD program to the printer is less than a minute. The removable build plate is also a huge bonus because it made the removal of prints super easy. The slicer is easy to use and pretty similar to Cura.

I had an issue because of the settings and setup I used for the printer, and even through there wasn't an actual product factory defect, the customer support was extremely helpful and sent us a replacement for the entire hot end including the fans and wiring for the extruders. The representative from QiDi also sent us many helpful clips on how to assemble the parts that were sent to us. The support was overall super responsive and helpful.

"My first 3D printer so I am not an expert.
Easy to unpack and set up.
Worked straight off once set up.
The slicing software works well and I managed to get an ABS/PVA duel extruded test model on my first attempt.
The magnetic build plate works well.
You do need to have some mechanical ability to deal with the inevitable failures. I managed to get a large blob of ABS surrounding the nozzle and damaged the wiring to the hot end when removing it. The support team responded to my email and have sent a spare part without any quibbles.
There is a good Facebook users group.
Naturally I will be tweaking the settings (I now use simplify3d which does support it) and probably go to all metal hot ends etc in the future."

Great printer that has been a workhorse. The unit feels very solid and well constructed. I have had it going 24/7 since receiving it a few weeks ago with only one failed print due to my using too high of a temperature for the pla. Maintenance has been easy to do and Is well documented with videos and very responsive customer support. I would happily buy a second pro but thinking of getting a max for the greater print volume. Also own a prusa mk3s but enjoy the touchpad on the qidi more than the lcd on the mk3. Has some WiFi issues but that hasn’t been a problem for me as I prefer to use USB keys and memory cards on all my printers. Dual extruders makes printing pva supports super easy. Would recommend to beginners and intermediate hobbyists.
