One limitation is noted below. - By QIDI, China - Launched August 5, 2026 - Succeeds the [QIDI Plus4](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/qidi-plus4) - Canonical page: https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/qidi-plus5 ## QIDI Plus5 at a glance The Plus5 is Qidi's mid-size enclosed Klipper CoreXY: a 320 x 320 x 300 mm plate, a 370 °C hotend, a 65 °C actively heated chamber and HEPA plus carbon filtration, with the QIDI Box for multi-colour in the Combo. It is for makers and businesses that print engineering materials such as nylon, PC and carbon-filled filaments. - Build volume: 320 x 320 x 300 mm - Multi-material units it works with: QIDI Box - Enclosure: Fully enclosed - Max print speed: 600 mm/s - Motion system: CoreXY - Prints well: PLA, PETG, TPU & flexibles, ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - Built-in camera: Yes - Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB ## Connect the QIDI Plus5 to SimplyPrint | Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | SimplyPrint Client | Compatible | A computer or Raspberry Pi on the same network that stays on, running the SimplyPrint Client | The SimplyPrint Client's QIDI integration supports the Plus5, including the QIDI Box: SimplyPrint shows each slot's filament and maps a print's filaments to the slots. | | Klipper (Moonraker) | Compatible | Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships | Limitation: The Plus5 connects through Klipper, but much of the printer's information is missing and the QIDI Box isn't supported. Use the SimplyPrint Client instead. | | OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not compatible | | Ships with Klipper: OctoPrint only runs on top of it, through the OctoKlipper plugin | - [How to set up SimplyPrint on QIDI Plus5](https://simplyprint.io/setup-guide/qidi/plus5.md) - [How to set up Mainsail on QIDI Plus5](https://docs.mainsail.xyz/setup) - [How to set up Fluidd on QIDI Plus5](https://docs.fluidd.xyz/installation) ### What works with SimplyPrint Connected through SimplyPrint Client, SimplyPrint supports most of what it offers on the QIDI Plus5: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, skipping objects, temperature and movement control, filament mapping for its multi-material unit and AutoPrint. Not available through SimplyPrint Client: download the file before the print starts. ## What slicer to use for the QIDI Plus5 None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the QIDI Plus5, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match. - [PrusaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/prusaslicer): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [OrcaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/orcaslicer): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [BambuStudio](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/bambustudio): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [ElegooSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/elegooslicer): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [CrealityPrint](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/crealityprint): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Cura](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/cura): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Kiri:Moto](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/kirimoto): No profile for the QIDI Plus5 · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [QIDI Studio](https://qidi3d.com/pages/software-firmware): Made by QIDI, not in the SimplyPrint cloud We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the QIDI Plus5. ## The app for the QIDI Plus5 Use SimplyPrint as the app for your QIDI Plus5: watch and run it from your phone or any browser, slice in the cloud, and keep it next to your other printers. It's free to start. QIDI's own app is [QIDI Maker](https://us.qidi3d.com/pages/qidi-maker). - Printers from other brands: SimplyPrint yes; QIDI Maker: Only QIDI Tech printers - An app for iPhone and Android, the same in any browser, and a slicer in the cloud. - More than monitoring: a print queue, AI failure detection, AutoPrint and accounts for a team. - Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR. [Connect the QIDI Plus5 to SimplyPrint, free](https://simplyprint.io/setup-guide/qidi/plus5) · [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/simplyprint-3d/id1519749400) · [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplyprint.appdev) ## Automate the QIDI Plus5 **Enclosed printers push their prints out.** The QIDI Plus5's bed only moves up and down inside its enclosure, so instead of swapping plates, a push-off routine lets the toolhead push the cooled print off the plate and out through its front door, which has to be open while it runs. Some printers won't print with the door open (the Prusa CORE One has a door sensor), so check yours first. ### Ways to automate it - [Push prints off with the toolhead](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/push-off): On a CoreXY printer, a G-code routine can push the cooled print off the front of the plate before the next job starts. - [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print. - [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/api): Tell SimplyPrint the plate is clear through the API or a webhook, from a robot arm or your own system. - [Clear it by hand, keep the queue](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job. [How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up. ## QIDI Plus5 specifications: bed size, print height and more ### Size - Build volume: 320 x 320 x 300 mm - Bed type: Square - Bed size: 320 x 320 mm - Max print height: 300 mm ### Printing - Enclosure: Fully enclosed - Motion system: CoreXY - Max print speed: 600 mm/s - Max extruder temperature: 370 °C - Has heated bed: Yes - Max bed temperature: 120 °C - Heated chamber: Up to 65 °C - Number of nozzles: 1 - Toolheads: 1 - Direct drive: Yes - Probing tool / Auto Bed Leveling: Yes - Filament width: 1.75 mm ### Multi-material - Multi-material units it works with: QIDI Box - Toolchanger or hotend changer: No - IDEX (independent dual extruders): No ### Connecting - Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB - Built-in camera: Yes - Prints from: USB stick - Supports serial printing: No - Shipped firmware: Klipper ### Files and slicing - Supported file formats: G-code (.gcode, .gco, .g), Zip-format files (e.g., 3MF) ### The printer - Printer manufacturer / brand: QIDI - Printer model name: Plus5 - Made by a company from: China - Launched: August 5, 2026 - Still made: Yes [Read more by the manufacturer](https://qidi3d.com/products/plus5) ## What filament can the QIDI Plus5 print?

Praises the heated chamber, HEPA filtration, polished hardware and UI, and very little setup, with clean prints in engineering filaments such as PPS-CF. Tested without the QIDI Box, which the reviewer still considers unreliable, and dislikes the awkward rear filament loading. > "The QIDI Plus5 goes toe-to-toe with Bambu Lab’s H2 series for nearly half the price." - Denise Bertacchi, Tom's Hardware - [This Might Be Qidi’s Best All-Rounder (Qidi PLUS5)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uN3DElYIzk) (ModBot, October 17, 2026): Sees the 320 mm Plus5 as the middle ground between Qidi's Q2 and Max 4, with solid results from glass-filled TPU to ABS and detailed PLA. Issues: the CoreXY motion developed a squeak, filament profiles lack a plain ABS, and a filament sensor failed to trigger once, ruining a long print. - [Qidi PLUS 5 3D Printer Review - The Robust Engineering-Grade Workhorse](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQncjWsxafs) (Aurora Tech, October 1, 2026): Qidi-sponsored review (disclosed). Rates surface quality, accuracy, retraction and first layer as top-notch and the chamber and bed as very fast to heat, a clear step up from the Plus4. Cons: no dual extruder for support materials, a slow QIDI Box, minor firmware mismatches and awkward switching between very different filament temperatures. ## When to choose the QIDI Plus5 Choose the Plus5 for engineering materials in a polished, enclosed machine: Tom's Hardware made it an Editor's Choice and says it goes toe-to-toe with Bambu Lab's H2 series for nearly half the price. ModBot places it between the smaller Qidi Q2 and the larger Max4, so pick by plate size. Don't buy it for multi-colour PLA: Tom's Hardware still considers the QIDI Box unreliable and Aurora Tech found it slow, so a Bambu Lab P2S with the AMS or a tool changer such as the Snapmaker U1 suits colour work better. It has no second extruder for support materials (Aurora Tech), which the Bambu Lab H2D has. ### Pros - A 65 °C heated chamber, a 370 °C hotend and a 120 °C bed for nylon, PC, carbon- and glass-filled filaments and PPS-CF (Qidi); Tom's Hardware got clean PPS-CF prints. - A three-stage filter with H12 HEPA and activated carbon (Qidi). - Very little setup and polished hardware and interface (Tom's Hardware); Aurora Tech rates surface quality, accuracy and first layers top-notch. - Load-cell auto levelling, a 1080p AI camera, and Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB (Qidi). - Works with SimplyPrint through the SimplyPrint Client, which also shows and maps the QIDI Box's slots. ### Cons - The QIDI Box is the weak part: Tom's Hardware considers it unreliable and Aurora Tech found it slow. - Filament loads awkwardly from the rear (Tom's Hardware). - ModBot's unit developed a squeak in the motion system, and a filament sensor failed to trigger once, ruining a long print. - No dual extruder for support materials, and switching between very different filament temperatures is awkward (Aurora Tech). ### Who it suits - Schools: Good fit. Enclosed and filtered with very little setup, and SimplyPrint can hold student prints for approval; keep students to PLA and PETG, since its strengths are engineering materials. - Hobbyists: Good fit. Strong value for nylon, PC and composites; a weaker pick for colourful PLA with the QIDI Box. - Businesses: Great fit. A heated, filtered chamber, Ethernet and engineering-grade results for nearly half the price of Bambu Lab's H2 series, per Tom's Hardware. - Print farms: Good fit. Enclosed and Ethernet-connected, and SimplyPrint controls it through the SimplyPrint Client, but ModBot's missed filament-sensor trigger is a warning for long unattended runs, and no plate-clearing kit is in our sources. ## The QIDI Plus series - [QIDI X-Plus](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/qidi-x-plus): Launched 2020 - [QIDI X-Plus II](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/qidi-x-plus-ii): Launched 2023 - [QIDI X-Plus 3](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/qidi-x-plus-3): Launched March 2023 - [QIDI Plus4](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/qidi-plus4): Launched September 2024.

It sells enclosed, Klipper-based CoreXY printers such as the compact Q2 and the larger Plus4 and Max4, and develops the open-source QIDI Studio slicer and the QIDI Link app. - Founded: 2014 - Website: https://qidi3d.com Openness: Mostly open (4.2 of 5) QIDI is mostly open: its printers are standard Klipper machines you can run fully on the local network, with published source and plenty of spare parts. The phone app and the store-only privacy policy are the weak spots. - Firmware and custom firmware (4 of 5): QIDI printers run QIDI's editions of Klipper and Moonraker with Fluidd. QIDI publishes them and per-model firmware packages on GitHub under GPL (for example the Q2 in January 2026 and the Max4 in August 2026) and answers issues there. - Local control and integrations (5 of 5): QIDI printers run Klipper and Moonraker with Fluidd on the printer, and QIDI Studio connects to them on the local network by IP without an account. QIDI publishes its Moonraker edition on GitHub, and other software can use Moonraker's documented API. Only the QIDI Link phone app needs an account and QIDI's cloud. - Third-party filament, slicers and parts (4 of 5): Third-party filament works; QIDI Studio is open source, and as Klipper and Moonraker printers they work with other Moonraker-compatible software. Hotends and nozzles are QIDI parts made per model. - Repairs and spare parts (4 of 5): QIDI's store lists many individual parts, including motherboards, eMMC modules, fans, extruders, hotends and Wi-Fi cards, and its wiki has replacement guides such as the Plus4 hotend. - Data and privacy (3 of 5): Local use needs no account. QIDI Link requires one and says which server it uses (Aliyun in China, AWS elsewhere). The published privacy policy covers the online store, not the printers or the app. - Community and documentation (4 of 5): Firmware is released and issues are taken on GitHub, and QIDI keeps a wiki per model with manuals, maintenance and troubleshooting guides. ### From SimplyPrint Our own experience working with QIDI. It isn't part of the rating. - QIDI is one of the few printer makers we work with directly: they occasionally send us new printers, and put us in touch with their developers when we need them. ### Pros - Runs fully on the local network through Fluidd, with no account needed. - Klipper and Moonraker sources and firmware updates are published on GitHub. - Many individual spare parts, down to motherboards and eMMC modules. - Open-source slicer and open filament choice. ### Cons - The QIDI Link app needs an account and QIDI's cloud. - The privacy policy covers only the online store, not the printers or app. - Hotends and nozzles are QIDI-specific parts. ### Track record - August 2026: QIDI published the firmware repository for the Max4 on GitHub under GPL-3.0. - January 2026: QIDI published the Q2's Klipper-based firmware on GitHub under GPL-3.0, with update packages and an issue tracker.
