Everyone likes to make fun of Qidi tech printers for being large and say it's due to their poor packaging, but no one talks about how the heated chamber will require additional heating elements and heat shielding which is likely why they're so much larger, not poor design. Also it gives them a consistent brand identity, most CoreXY machines look the same, but when you see a Qidi tech, you know!

I 100% agree that quality and consistency is most important. Ease of use as well. The less I have to do to get a print going that comes out great with minimal effort, the better the experience for me at least. Not everyone is an engineer and less is more for a majority of the hobby base I would have to think 🤷🤷🤷

Agree. Doesn't matter how fast it prints if they come out crappy. I don't cut the filament to remove. I heat it up to temp, then pull it out easy and it seems to work fine that way. Just be sure to pull it out before it tries to extrude the "cut" off piece it expects or it will pull the filament back in.

Th coupler is probably for the filament dry box that came by default with their X3 printers (Smart, Plus and Max), allows nylon/nylon CF to be printed from the drybox with a fully enclosed path to the nozzle. It won't mount directly to the Q1 pro, but can be used sitting beside it.

Yeah, the Ludicrous speed with Hyper PLA although interesting might be a little too fast for quality visually for prints.

On the circuit board there is already a place to add a ethernet port. If you have soldering skills, you can add it yourself. On the back under the sticker, you will find a hole for a potential ethernet port too. So maybe, they plan to add this later? Dont know, but it is easy to add this yourself

Also on AMS. I asked their tech support prior to purchasing my X Max 3 about the AMS and this is the reponse I received from them.... "Dear Customer: Hello, I heard that our engineers are currently developing it, but I am not very clear about the specific situation. terribly sorry." (Name of employee withheld to prevent any backlash). So I think it's coming, hopefully it can be retrofitted on the previous machines (like my new X Max 3). With Bambu making the AMS pretty standard, I think most of the printer manufacturers are probably working on something similar to compete.

When I start working and earn my own money, ill see the available options then, so I shall go for the x-smart and with the left over money that I wouldn't have to buy a filament dryer.

I've not done that, because I don't really think it is relevant. I think quality is quality regardless of where it comes from and if someone wants to avoid a country or only buy from a specific country they can do that research.
Seems good for under $500, but seeing other unboxings and first prints, it’s seems a bit in beta still. Heard others say it is running a two year old version of Klipper, for a “pro” model I hope they allow custom installs of Klipper from modders. At 599 price, I can’t see this competing against the p1p.

I'm printing functional products for sale - in this context, I want 'fit-for-purpose' quality, but once it's over that bar, speed is my priority: faster printer = less printing time per unit. This printer might not be the best quality for a print farm, but for me printing product in ASA with only a couple of printers, this is ideal to help me bootstrap my business. If I can print ASA without brims and minimal warping it will save me tons of time in post-processing as well.

It's nice to see manufacturers delivering klipper machines with open ssh, however -- why do they feel the need to alter klipper code making not updateable. This machine is running a klipper version that's over 2 years old. If you want to run kamp, or other advance klipper features, you can't. IS is better now, belt shaping. You have to rely on Qidi for a firmware update -- which shouldn't be needed. Run vanilla klipper, do customizations via config and scripts.

I mainly make parts for my car and robot parts for my Vex U team. If we need a part done to progress and something needs to be reprinted, it's really nice to have a fast printer so we don't have to waste another day waiting for prints. As for the car parts, I usually fill and paint those anyways and they don't have fine details. Strength and speed matter most there. If you're spending this much on a machine that's in that "it just works" sort of category rather than buying a cheap i3 clone I think there's a higher chance you don't have the time to reprint things much, hence that being a bigger selling point.
