What it is
QIDI Slicer is free software for preparing 3D models for printing on compatible QIDI printers. Its tools can move, scale, rotate, crop, color, repair, combine, and split models, with adjustable parameters and calibration functions for different models and print scenarios. QIDI lists the Q1 Pro, X-Max3, X-Plus3, and X-Smart3 as supported printers, and describes compatibility with its high-speed printers using Klipper firmware. Printer firmware should be version V4.0.0 or above. Supported input formats include STL, STEP, 3MF, OBJ, and AMF; outputs include G-code and .gcode.3mf. Printers can connect over a local network by IP, and remote internet connections are supported. The QIDI Link app for iOS and Android can connect to a printer, monitor print progress, adjust parameters, and feed or retract material. Version 1.2.5 adds Q2 configuration and support for exporting and sending .gcode.3mf files for Q2 machines. Windows and macOS downloads are linked from QIDI’s software page, while Linux users are directed to GitHub. The software is based on PrusaSlicer and is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3.
