Qidi Tech 1 Setup and Use

The Qidi Tech 1 is a carbon copy of the Flashforge Creator Pro, so nearly all of the knowledge between the machines overlap. You may see instructions in guides linked here about the Flashforge Creator Pro, simply apply the instructions to the Qidi Tech 1 as described.

Important Note:
This printer is very difficult to print well with and is NOT recommended for beginners.
This printer should be used by experienced users ONLY.

Currently this printer has a warping/curling issue from a lack of cooling that effects the quality of prints, use at your own discretion. (12V cooling fan needs to be replaced with 24V)

If using a non-PLA Material please consult an Officer first.

Set up Cura with the custom Qidi profile.
Slice the model properly.
Upload to Octoprint.
Load your filament.
Level the bed (only if necessary, usually not).
Print your X3G.
Monitor the first few layers before leaving the printer unattended.
When finished, wait for the bed to cool before removing prints. Use of the scaper may be required, but be extremely careful.

This printer requires the use of Ultimaker Cura. It has only been tested to work with Cura 4.9.0 & 4.11.0 which can be downloaded from the Ultimaker site here.

After installing Cura follow the steps on this Github page on installing the Qidi profile into Cura. Do not install the X3G plugins that are specified, we want Cura to export G-Code not X3G. Octoprint will handle converting G-Code into X3G that the printer can understand.

On Cura, we will add a non-networked printer under the manufacturer Qidi.

Loading and unloading filament should be done on the printer itself, not OctoPrint.

From the home page on the printer's display follow these steps.

Important Note: Sometimes the OK button sticks, its important to press it gently. To go back, push the left button.

Navigate to Utilities and push OK
Select Change Filament
Select the operation you would like to do (Load right, Unload right, Load left, Unload Left)
Follow onscreen instructions with the printers assistance by pushing OK to advance to the next page.

The printer will say it has 4 'knobs' to level with on screen, but our printer only has 3.

If the bed and nozzles are clear then the bed is ready to be leveled.

Navigate to Utilities and push OK
Select Level Build Plate
Follow onscreen instructions with the printers assistance by pushing OK to advance to the next page.

If using a non-PLA material, please consult an Officer first.

Almost everything is left default if printing with PLA in both extruders. You may need to enable advanced settings in Cura to see the dual extrusion settings.

Ensure you have your brand or generic PLA selected for both materials on the top center bar in Cura.
Enable priming towers and place the tower in a spot that does not interfere with the model if using both extruders.

3D printer QIDI TECH S-Box

The new printer for photopolymer printing from the QIDI brand can be safely called the hero of the world of 3D printers! Even a cursory glance at the device is enough to understand that we have before us an impressive and reliable piece of equipment, but does the appearance of the printer correspond to its internal and functional features? Our detailed review of the QIDI TECH S-Box 3D printer will help you figure it out!

Appearance

QIDI TECH S-Box meets us with a black plastic case with a red transparent print chamber cover. Strong plastic protects the device from external mechanical influences. Solid build and a solidly built design inspire confidence that the printer will last a long time. nine0003

Basic characteristics of QIDI TECH S-Box

The main feature of the QIDI TECH S-box is an enlarged build area of 215x130x200 mm and a third-generation 2K matrix with a 10.1-inch display, which allow high-resolution printing. Moreover, in order to use the entire usable area of the printer, it implements a uniform illumination of the working area.

The printer contains aluminum metal parts, rails and resin tank. True, everything has its price, and not only in terms of money. The printer has impressive dimensions, but there is no need to be scared, the S-box is far from industrial scale, moreover, it works quite quietly. nine0003

In addition to the basic things like instructions, the kit also includes two calibration sheets, a spare film for the printer and instructions for replacing it. The kit also comes with half a kilogram of QIDI branded photopolymer resin, a screwdriver, a power cable, a plastic spatula to remove resin residue from the film, a flash card with recorded useful materials for the user (this flash card can also be used to write files for later printing) . nine0003

Further, a set of two filters used to reduce the smell of photopolymer resin, gloves and a mask for working with the printer during printing, a set of filters for straining the waste resin, for its subsequent use.

Advantages of QIDI Tech S-Box

The main advantage of the printer is that QIDI managed to maintain high print quality when using a 2K display. The quality of the matrix is of great importance, not all LCD displays are the same. The S-Box is equipped with a screen from the well-known Taiwanese company AUO, a leader in display research and production. This LED matrix is equipped with 96 separate points of UV radiation. Such a wide, powerful and evenly distributed system ensures high-quality and accurate resin curing during 3D printing.

Z-axis motor with intelligent chip is also worth highlighting. It is the engine that allows high-precision printing of 1 micron. Add to all this the double rails and internal metal parts that we mentioned above, and we get a quiet, and most importantly stable print. So that even a beginner can figure it out and print his first masterpiece, the printer has a simple and understandable Chitubox slicer. nine0003

User support

Even when the device fully satisfies your technical needs, any user can not do without technical support. Whether it's a quick consultation or a complex problem that you couldn't handle on your own, QIDI is here to help. The customer service responds promptly and quickly resolves the issues that have arisen.

Disadvantages of QIDI Tech S-Box

The weight and dimensions of the QIDI Tech S-Box are its weak points. 25 kg and size 565x365x490 mm is a lot. But even in this minus you can see a plus, literally. The fact is that the screen and connection ports are placed on one side, unlike other printers, where all this is located under the print chamber. This arrangement of the screen allows you to better control the process of work and conveniently change settings.

The model was created on QIDI Tech S-Box using material from Harz Labs. nine0003

Summary

QIDI Tech S-Box is big and heavy, but quiet enough. The ventilation system with several carbon filters allows you to effectively clean the air from harmful impurities. The controls are simple, so the device is suitable for people with any experience using photopolymer 3D printers.

If you've been looking for an accurate LCD printer with a large printable area, look no further.
