QIDITECH X-Smart3 3D Printer
Quick Start Guide
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.
- The X-axis carbon fiber rod on the machine cannot be replaced, so please take care to protect it from scratching the carbon fiber rod and affecting printing.
- 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
- 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 will reduce the wear and increase the life of the printer. Regularly clean the carbon fiber rod with absolute alcohol or isopropanol, clean the printer body with a dry cloth, wipe off dust, bonded printing materials, and foreign objects on the Z axis. Always unplug QIDI products before performing maintenance or modifications.
- 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.)
Accessory List
Starting Up
Remove the upper foam and extract the printer.
Remove the power cord from the top cover foam and connect it to the printer. Switch on the printer and proceed with the on-screen instructions to complete the unpacking and calibration process. Attention: Please double-check that the voltage setting of the power supply aligns with the voltage standard of your region/country before turning it on.
Language
Please select your preferred language and click on the next step.
Unboxing
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the four ties securing the platform in place. 
Remove the ties fastening the extruder and X-axis, discard the cardboard, and proceed to the next step.
Note that the carbon fiber rod on the X-axis cannot be replaced, so handle it with caution to avoid scratching it and compromising print quality.
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.”
Note that the foam may adhere to the underside of the platform.
Load Filament
Take out the filament support bar from top foam, and follow the instruction on the back side sticker to attach the support bar properly. Once attached support bar, place the filament onto the support bar.
Note that it is advised to fit the filament support cover to the support bar to prevent any potential dropping of the filament. 
Follow the prompts displayed on the screen and insert the filament through the filament detection sensor up to the printhead. Ensure that the filament is properly fed into the printhead and click on the “next” button to proceed. 
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 
Please perform automatic bed leveling and input shaping before the first print to make the printing more better.
Note : Before any operation, make sure that the PEI build plate is on the print platform. 
Printer Introduction
How To Remove The Print Head Front Cover
Carefully push upward to unlock the front cover. then remove it.
X-Axis Cleanup
Wet the carbon fiber rods with alcohol or isopropanol, and gently rub the carbon rods to dean any debris with a dust-free cloth. 
Wet the carbon fiber rod again, and move the print head right and left repeatedly to clean out the dirt in the print head bearing. 
Wipe the carbon fiber tube with a cloth, and repeat steps 3 to 5 until there is no stain on the print head bearing and carbon fiber tube. After cleaning, perform resonance compensation once.
Note: The X-axis rod needs to be cleaned every 1-2 weeks.
Filament Guide For Beginners
Tips
- Some other brands of ABS filaments are less heat resistant and it is recommended to set the chamber temperature no more than 55 degrees Celsius. Otherwise the filaments may be soften in advance and cause clogging.
- If the filaments do not stick to the print platform:
- Please check if the nozzle is far away from the print plate, you can adjust the platform upward by Offset adjusting function.
- 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.
- If above all can not work , please contact the after-sales service for assistance.
