Usage Notice

• Do not place the machine in flammable and explosive materials or near high heat sources. Please place the machine in a ventilated, cool, and dust-free environment.
• Ensure the machine is powered off (unplug the power cord) before performing maintenance or modifications.
• Before applying power to the machine, check that the voltage is correct.
• Never reach inside QIDI printers while they are in operation.
• Children should be under constant supervision when using QIDI products.
• The printer contains high-speed moving parts, so be careful of your hands pinching.
• There is a potential risk of burns: the print head of the QIDI printers can reach temperatures above 300 °C, while the hot bed can reach temperatures above 100 °C. Do not touch either of these parts with your bare hands.
• Do not place the printer in a vibrating or other unstable environment. Otherwise, the shaking of the machine will affect the printing quality.
• After printing, use the residual temperature of the print head to clean the filament around the nozzle with the dedicated tools in time. Do not touch either of these parts with your bare hands.
• Regular maintenance of the printer is essential. When the printer is powered off, use a dry cloth to clean the printer body, removing dust, residual consumables, and foreign objects from the optical axes. The linear guides and Z-axis lead screws require periodic cleaning and lubrication.
• If the machine is in standby mode for a long time, please unplug the power of it.
• If the machine is not used for a long time, please pay attention to protect the printer from dust and damp.
• There are manuals, slicer software, and other related information in the USB flash drive. (The information in the USB flash drive may not be the latest. You can obtain the latest information by contacting the After-sales Service marked at the end.)
• Modifying system files or installing non-official plugins constitutes a voluntary waiver of official technical support. Users assume all risks associated with such actions, including firmware malfunctions, system failures, or other issues, which are explicitly excluded from warranty coverage. To restore the original system state, perform a “Factory Reset” via the settings interface.

   Note: We recommend installing the filament holder cover to prevent filament from falling off.
4. Take a PTFE tube and connect one end to the
   pneumatic head on the filament extender and the other end to the feed port. Push the filament through the pneumatic head until it reaches the printer nozzle.

How to Remove the Print Head Front Cover

• The print head front cover features a buckle structure on the top. Do not remove it directly. First, unlock it by lifting it upward, then remove the print head front cover outward and laterally.

First Printing

• Click the button to start printing.
• Note: Pre-saved models files use PLA Rapido filament by default.

Tips

1. Some other brands of ABS filaments are less heat resistant, and it is recommended to set the chamber temperature to no more than 55 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the filaments may be softened in advance and cause clogging.
2. If the filaments do not stick to the print platform:
   1. Please check if the nozzle is far away from the print plate. You can adjust the platform upward using by Z-offset adjusting function.
   2. Because of the different ambient temperatures in different regions, the temperature of the heat bed can be increased appropriately to increase the adhesion of the filaments.
   3. If the above all can not work, please contact the after-sales service for assistance.
