Qidi Max4 Large Format Industrial Quality CoreXY 3D Printer (Max 4 and Combo Options)

A decent deal.

Overall, I’d say the Qidi Max 4 is decent. It prints pretty well, especially for a larger-format printer, but it’s not on the same level as my Bambu. The print quality is better than average, but the Bambu still gives cleaner results with less messing around. Out of the box, the Max 4 felt slower than it should have been. Adjusting the stock acceleration settings helped a lot, but even after that, it still feels too slow for the price. It’s usable, but I wouldn’t call it fast. The build size is definitely one of the big positives. If you need the larger print volume, that’s where this printer starts to make more sense. The enclosed design is also nice, especially if you’re printing ABS, ASA, or other materials that need a warmer chamber. One thing I really don’t like is the Qidi Box. It is loud. Not just fan-noise loud, but a clicking, roller-coaster-on-the-track kind of loud. It’s annoying enough that I think it’s worth mentioning. I also don’t think this printer is a smoking deal for the price. It’s not bad, and I don’t regret buying it, but it doesn’t feel like some amazing value either. It’s a decent large-format enclosed printer that prints better than a lot of average printers, but it still has some rough edges. Pros: Large build volume Prints pretty good overall Better than average print quality Enclosed design is useful for ABS/ASA Acceleration settings can be adjusted to improve speed Cons: Slower than I expected Still not as clean or refined as a Bambu Qidi Box is very loud Doesn’t feel like an amazing deal for the price Needs some tweaking to get it where it should be Bottom line: It’s a decent printer. I’d recommend it if someone specifically needs a large enclosed printer, but I wouldn’t tell someone it’s the best deal out there or that it competes directly with Bambu in overall polish.

not worth it

To many QC issues, firmware is still a mess. Only buy this printer if you absolutely need a bed bigger than 350x350. I would recommend a Creality K2 Plus over this printer.
