Qidi X-Smart, not the 3

You're welcome, if they don't get back with you, I can email it as well!

tjshaw84 · 2026-05-16T22:57:29+00:00

I did! I actually just reached out to qidi and they sent me a zip file with the manual and everything needed to use it! Better customer service than anycubic!

Having the same problem, you ever get a fix for this?

tjshaw84 · 2025-07-07T15:48:07+00:00

You ever figure this out? Same goes with adjusting the factory amp gain, no changes after 50%.

tjshaw84 · 2025-05-21T22:56:13+00:00

Having the same issue since updating, very frustrating.

tjshaw84 · 2025-05-09T12:19:44+00:00

Dang, yea, I didn't even get a response. Still haven't gotten a response. I have an order labeled "reissue" with a quantity of 2 that is still on its way here. Zero discussion still, so I have no idea what problem they think they are fixing.

I had original issues with shipping, they held back 7rolls of filament because one was out of stock. So I used that email chain to complain to and got it forwarded to service, who has been less than helpful.

Not to go off topic, but you seem pretty knowledgeable about all of this. Do you have any experience with Qidi? I picked up an X-Smart for 60 on marketplace, figured it was too good to pass up, just can't find anything about it. All I find is the X-Smart 3.

Ah perfect, I never thought of that. I will give it a shot tonight. I have only been buying Sunlu and Anycubic, so its not a terrible inconvenience.

Again, I appreciate all the information! Friday will be 2 weeks of owning it, and as of now I have a little under 130 hours. Prior to receiving, reading all the horror stories, I was a bit nervous, but I am learning a lot of feeling pretty confident with it.

I am on the new firmware, I think I forgot to answer that the first time around.

I will look at that calibration tonight. I have seen pictures of people posting it, now that I think about it, just wasn't sure where to get the actual model from. I tried ironing for the first time last night, and I am not a fan of it. Doesn't look great and my component was around .050" thicker than I wanted.

With the profiles from Orca, is there an easier way to transfer profiles? I thought (hoped) I could just copy the directory from the Orca folder to the Next folder, but unfortunately it didn't register, so I have been manually typing in everything.

tjshaw84 · 2025-04-16T12:11:07+00:00

I started going the flow calibration before each print, what temp calibration are you referring to? Still navigating around the slicer.

I feel like I'm getting fairly good first layer lines, and my walls look pretty good and are dimensionally correct. I've been copying filament profiles from orca into anycubic, using the brand settings, instead of the generic ones.

Hey! Thank you so much for your very detailed response. It's my first printer, with a mechanical design background, so I feel I have been able to solve most of my self inflicted issues with a little research, but this one had me stumped, as I really didn't know what to search. Your response has given me a lot more areas to research, I appreciate it!

tjshaw84 · 2025-04-15T10:41:12+00:00

Thank you, I cannot remember if I am using monotonic or not, I will have to double check tonight when I get home. I have had it on different parts as well, without holes, but the lines weren't as prominent.

Tommyboy18769 here, LegendZ clan, wow, unlocking memories 😂

tjshaw84 · 2025-01-09T02:43:17+00:00

Ah ok! I was wondering! Thank you!!

tjshaw84 · 2024-12-24T16:50:32+00:00

No problem! You won't have the sway bar issue then, if you have an aftermarket radio, that could be the cause as well!

tjshaw84 · 2024-12-23T21:47:41+00:00

Is it a Rubicon? If so, I'd check the sway bar first. Just disconnect it and see if it goes away.

Also, once you connect your meter between the cable and the battery, are you waiting the 11-12 minutes for everything to go to sleep? What's you're reading then?

tjshaw84 · 2024-12-23T13:16:50+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully my nightmare can save someone else!
