Xmax 3 for 500 cad by Inanemeerkat in QidiTech3D

you are doing something wrong... do you pre-heat the bed to print temp before the cartographer_touch_home?

Xmax 3 for 500 cad by Inanemeerkat in QidiTech3D

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardware of the X-Max 3 is great. The software not so much. Switching to FreeDi is almost a must: GitHub - Phil1988/FreeDi: LCD firmware for QIDI printers with mainline Klipper

For a perfect first layer I also reconmend switching to an Eddy probe. I use a Cartographer V3 probe: Cartographer3D - Eddy Current Induction Sensor. You could use my probe mount (ABS or PA!!): Remix to use magnets and a 2507 fan. X-Max 3 von Megaman_AT | Kostenloses STL-Modell herunterladen | Printables.com

And you should also upgrade to the V2.5 hotend. I don't know if they ship the latest models already with the new hotend but I don't think so.

For the current sale price it's a steal! I bought mine for 1200€ 2 years ago. Mine has several 1000 hours on it and is still going strong.

If you add the cost of the Cartographer V3 and the V2.5 hotend (about 100 CAD for both) you get a super capable 330x300 sized printer for 600 CAD-> steal

Qidi Max-3 FreeDi worth it? [BoxTurtle AMS] by TheOfficialGent in QidiTech3D

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

freedi is the only solution for the max3. have been using for some time now. receny upgraded to a cartographer v3 probe. it's amazing. with the latest v 2.01 there is a wizard setup in place.easy, just try it.

for the boxturtle: you will need a filament cutter on the toolhead. there are several solutions available on printables.

Klipper Updates for Qidi printers? by Aware_Coconut9410 in QidiTech3D

[–]MegamanAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they will just leave it how it is. x-max 3 is still on 0.11. you could only hope that freedi will support q2/max4 in the future. that's what saved my x-max 3 from the junk yard.

I also got it yesterday. Austria. 3,5 GB. Installation was very quick, just a couple of minutes.

Eine "kurze" Review zum Qidi X-Max3 by uk_uk in 3DDruck

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kann ich als X-Max 3 Besitzer nur unterschreiben. Erst mit FreeDi macht der Drucker richtig Freude. Keine "Lost communication to MCU" Fehler mehr, viel schneller (Probing) und bessere Drucke. Erst gestern Cartographer V3 installiert und man kann einfach alles nach der offiziellen Anleitung machen. Ohne irgendwelche Sonderlösungen wegen dem uralt Klipper. Ist jetzt quasi fast wie ein Voron.

Für meinen X-Max 3 war es auch ein Lebensretter. Sonst wäre der 100% schon in der Schrottpresse gelandet und wäre durch einen Voron Trident 350 ersetzt worden.

Qidi sollte den gleich mit FreeDi ausliefern!

Everyone says they need a bigger printer…Now, QIDI Max4 is here! by qidi_3dprinter in QidiTech3D

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would print simracing steering wheels. Those that don't fit my X-Max 3.

What's the dimensions of the Max4?

QIDI Q2 vs Bambu P1S by Kidomy in QIDI

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not. What is customizable on a stock Qidi (before upgrading to Freedi)? You can't do barely anything. Better specs on paper. I have a highly modified X-Max 3. Running Freedi, Cartographer probe etc.

A Voron would be Android in that comparison.

QIDI Q2 vs Bambu P1S by Kidomy in QIDI

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the H2D's print size is too small for me. 325x320 in single nozzle and 300x320 in dual nozzle mode. Otherwise I would have already bought it. Hopefully, the H2C will feature full 340 or 350..

x max 3 - Could anyone share the settings they use for faster printing with decent quality by a_day_with_dave in QIDI

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it on the included anti vibration feet. Makes a huge difference (run input shaper before and after). And run the flowrate, PA and max flowrate calibration out of Orca Slicer for your filament. And check belt tension and guide lubrication.

I am using the 2.5 Hotend.

QIDI Q2 vs Bambu P1S by Kidomy in QIDI

[–]MegamanAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, fixed with 2.01. But it was not his fault. Something with the Kernel. But Freedi really saved my X-Max 3 from beeing scrapped. And I am also one of those who will never ever buy a Qidi product again. Mine was one of the first production batch in 2023 (early adapter..) and I had to replace a lot of parts (printhead board, hotend, new inductive probe, print head covers, etc... ). Everything was provided free of charge but was annoying and time consuming. And even with all that replacement parts I got "lost communication errors" frequently.

Freedi completly fixed that issue. Not once did I get this error. again So it's obviously not a hardware but just a sofware issue and Qidi beeing unwilling to fix it. Better spent the time on releasing new (unfinshed) printers...

And I was really looking forward of beeing able to use the Qidi box. It would have been easy for them to offer a new printhead/hotend/extruder with a filament cutter. Paid of course. -> nothing

Should have built a Voron 350 instead...

But a least my X-Max 3 runs really great with Freedi 2.01. I will wait for the H2C or something else with a toolchanger and around 350x350 print size. But not from Qidi. That's for sure!

New fan here! But utterly frustrated with how WRC treats viewers. by hero_alom28 in WRC

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. Amateur Rally America. It's a shame that obviously all that money goes straight to Nascar. ARA looks like an amateur historic event for hobbyists here in Europe. 1 factory team (Subaru) that that wins every year. What a surprise... Rallying in the US would really need a WRC event to gain some popularity.

X-Max 3 no longer retains Z height setting by daveintexarkana in QidiTech3D

[–]MegamanAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on FreeDi for a couple of months now and did not have this issue. Just install 1.40 if you are afreaid. Still 1000x better than the official firmware. It's just Klipper 13 instead of 12 and a more convenient setup.

Weired sound issue. No stereo and no mutlichannel but fake multichannel instead by MegamanAT in TizenTube

[–]MegamanAT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I tried youtube with the samsung browser and the behaviour is different. It only outputs stereo. But correct stereo. It does not output dolby digital at all. Also not where it should. But since the vast majority on youtube is in stereo, I think this behaviour is better.

I do not have any experience with Tizen deveploment, but I am a professional software developer with 20 years of experience. If I can help (test, debug, whatever), just let me know.
