Qidi Tech has revealed its latest 3D printer: the Plus4, a mid-sized, Klipper-based CoreXY machine with an in-chamber heater for printing warp-prone, engineering-grade materials.
At a glance, the Plus4 seems to be a powered-up version of the Plus3 on nearly all fronts. It has a build volume of 305 x 305 x 280 mm and can hit claimed max speeds of 600 mm/s with acceleration of 20,000 mm/s. Its hot end can reach temperatures of up to 370 °C.
Combined with its 400W active heating chamber, this allows the machine to handle both high-temperature filaments like ABS and PC, as well as those that are “industrial-grade”, like carbon-fiber-reinforced PPS-CF.
Bells and whistles include automatic leveling, a self-cleaning nozzle, an “extra thick” 6mm hotbed – double the thickness of its predecessor – a full-metal frame, and an HD camera. There’s also filament runout and tangle detection, and a filament auto-cutting functionality.
Users control the printer via a five-inch touchscreen, which boasts a fresh UI and runs on Klipper V0.12.0, which Qidi Tech says opens the door for increased customization and better support for extensions.
Launching today, you can pick one up from the Qidi Tech website for $799.
