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 power cord) before performing maintenance or modifications.
- Before connecting the power,please follow the power setup instructions to ensure that the voltage is correct.
- Never reach inside QIDI printer 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 hands pinching.
- There is a potential risk of burns: the print heads 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. - Regularly do product maintenance, clean the printer body with a dry cloth when the power is off, and wipe off dust, bonded printing materials, and foreign objects on the optical axis.
- If the machine is in standby mode for a long time,please unplug the power of the QIDI products.
- 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 informations 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.)
Power Settings
When products manufactured, we have switched the voltage values according to the sale countries/ regions, but please ensure whether you need to switch it to the voltage values of your region/ country. (The one marked “230V” is suitable for 220V, and the one marked “115V” is suitable for 110V; if in doubt, please contact our after-sales technical support.)
Mismatching voltage input will result in products breakdown.
Accessory List
Starting Up
Remove the top foam and draw out the USB flash drive, then extract the printer.
Remove the packing foam that fix accessory kit and dry box, then take accessory kit and dry box out from top.
Take out the power cord from the accessory box and plug it into the printer. Turn on the printer and follow the instructions of screen to complete the unboxing process, calibration, etc.
Warning: Before starting up, please confirm whether the voltage setting of the power supply matches the voltage value of your region/country.
Language
Please select your preferred language and click on the next step.
Unboxing
According to the on-screen instructions, remove the top cover from the machine and then click on the next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the ties that fasten the extruder and X-axis, and discard the cardboard.
Remove the four ties that secure the platform and proceed to the next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the four screws securing the printing platform in place.
Click “Next”, Make sure the print bed is unlocked and clear of any debris before proceeding.
Follow the instructions on the screen to remove the foam from under the printing platform and click “next.”
Calibration
Click the button to initiate the hot bed heating process and set the temperature according to your print filament. Allow the temperature to reach the value and proceed to the next step.
After waiting for the platform and printhead positions to initialize, select the appropriate number to adjust the height of the platform.
Place the leveling card between the nozzle and the build plate. Gently slide the leveling card back and forth while using the up and down buttons to adjust the nozzle’s height until you feel a slight resistance on the card.
Please exercise caution around the heated build plate to avoid any potential burns. Remember to adjust the step size accordingly if the nozzle and build plate are in danger of colliding or if the desired distance has not yet been achieved after multiple adjustments.
After identifying the accurate distance, proceed to the next stage and enable the machine to automatically perceive the distances at each point.
Press the button to finish the leveling process. Afterward, please wait for the machine to complete the resonance compensation.
Load Filament
Take out the filament support bar and support cover from the accessory box, and install the support bar on the machine according to the sticker on the back of the machine.
Extract the dry box from the foam of accessory box, press the plastic interface on the connector first, and then pull out the plug.
Place the desiccant in the drying box, then place the filament, and close the lid.
Note: Before placing the filament, first thread one end of the filament through the connector on the drying box.
Place the dry box on the filament support rod. Fit the lid and rotate it into place.
Note: The drying box needs to be adjust to align with the slot on the printer before it can be fully inserted.
Install the PTFE tube on the connector of the drying box. According to the screen prompts, thread the filament from the filament detection to the extruder.
Make sure that the filament are inserted into the extruder, and then install the PTFE tube on the drying box to the filament detection. Click Next.
Enter the print temperature for the filament and press the Heat button. Allow the temperature to reach the preset value and then proceed to the next step.
Click the downwards button and allow the filament to emerge from the nozzle.
Notice: If there is no filament flow, even after multiple attempts, check that the filament is properly entering the printhead.
Click “Next” and finish the start guide.
First Printing
Insert the USB flash drive and select the model inside the test folder for first printing.
Note: The models from test folder is for the PLA Rapido filament that come with printer.
