Print not sticking to bed.
: Regularly lubricate the Z-axis threaded rods and X/Y linear rails with white lithium grease to prevent grinding noises.
Power‑loss recovery cannot re‑home the Z axis; it trusts the previously stored Z value. Any minor backlash or thermal contraction will cause a small discontinuity. For important prints, it is better to restart the print than rely on recovery.
Heat the nozzles to the required temperature (e.g., 250°C for PLA) before advancing filament. Calibration: qidi x-pro manual
If you recently unboxed a , you’re likely staring at a machine that promises high-speed, dual-extrusion printing. But whether you are a beginner or a seasoned maker, navigating the setup and maintenance of a dual-extruder printer can be tricky without the right roadmap.
Select the left or right extruder, set the temperature to match your material (e.g., 200°C for PLA), and tap .
Check the voltage switch (110V or 220V) to match your region before plugging it in. Bed Leveling: Print not sticking to bed
| Material | Nozzle Temp | Bed Temp | Enclosure Fan | |----------|-------------|----------|----------------| | PLA | 190-210°C | 40-50°C | Open door | | ABS | 230-240°C | 90-100°C | Closed door | | Nylon | 250-260°C | 70-80°C | Closed + desiccant | | TPU | 210-230°C | 40-50°C | Open, slow speed |
The X‑Pro works with other popular slicers. On , you must add a post‑processing script:
For its original price (around $500), the X‑Pro remains a capable machine for printing PLA, ABS and PETG. Its dual extruder and enclosed chamber are features that still compete with newer budget printers. However, it lacks modern conveniences like automatic bed leveling, a camera and high‑speed Klipper firmware out of the box. It is best suited for users who value reliability and don’t mind occasional manual adjustments. Any minor backlash or thermal contraction will cause
The QIDI X-Pro is a fully enclosed, dual-extruder 3D printer known for its versatility (printing both standard filaments like PLA/ABS and advanced materials like Nylon and PC). —especially due to its dual-nozzle system and high-temperature capabilities.
is the recommended software for preparing (slicing) models for your X-Pro. It is based on the open-source Orca Slicer and is designed to be compatible with all QIDI printers.
Insert the filament into the top of the extruder and press to feed it through until it extrudes from the nozzle. Software (Slicer) : QIDI provides its own "QIDI Print" slicer (based on Cura).
Check the tension of your X and Y axis belts. They should be taut like a guitar string. Inspect the grub screws on the stepper motor pulleys to ensure they are tight. If youPlease let me know: What material you are currently trying to print with? What slicing software you prefer to use?
While the X‑Pro has since been discontinued, thousands remain in active service. This guide consolidates everything you need to get the most out of your machine—from unpacking and first print to troubleshooting and advanced modifications.
