Qidi Tech X-Max 3: High-Speed, Industrial-Grade 3D Printing for Professionals

Introducing the Qidi Tech X-Max 3, a professional-grade Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printer engineered to meet the needs of both professionals and hobbyists. This state-of-the-art machine blends high-speed printing with outstanding precision, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.

Generous Build Volume

The X-Max 3 boasts an ample build volume of 325 x 325 x 315 mm, enabling users to produce large models or multiple smaller parts in a single print session. This spacious printing area provides the versatility required for different projects, from prototyping to the creation of functional parts.

Outstanding Printing Speed

Built with a sturdy CoreXY structure and powered by Klipper firmware, the X-Max 3 achieves impressive printing speeds of up to 600 mm/s, with an acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². This high-speed performance significantly shortens production times while maintaining print quality, allowing for faster iterations and enhanced efficiency.

Advanced Extruder System

The printer features a high-flow direct drive extruder capable of reaching temperatures of up to 350°C. This allows seamless printing with a wide range of filaments, from standard materials such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, and TPU to engineering-grade thermoplastics like Nylon, Carbon Fibre, and PC. The extruder’s lightweight 600-gram design ensures stable extrusion, minimising the risk of clogs and improving overall print quality.

Dual Nozzle Options

To accommodate various filament properties, the X-Max 3 includes two distinct nozzles:

• Copper Alloy Nozzle – Ideal for standard materials, providing excellent thermal conductivity and consistent extrusion.
• Hardened Steel Nozzle – Designed for abrasive materials, offering superior durability and longevity.

Both nozzles are built to withstand high-temperature printing, ensuring reliable performance across different filament types.

Heated Build Chamber

Optimal environmental conditions are crucial for successful 3D printing, especially with high-performance materials. The X-Max 3 features an actively heated build chamber that can reach up to 65°C, helping to prevent warping and layer separation. This ensures dimensional accuracy and strong interlayer adhesion. Additionally, the chamber includes a circulating fan and an activated carbon air filter to reduce odours and potential pollutants, creating a safer and more comfortable working environment.

Automatic Bed Levelling

A level print bed is essential for proper first-layer adhesion and overall print success. The X-Max 3 streamlines this process with an intelligent automatic levelling system, using a 16-point probing mechanism to detect and compensate for surface inconsistencies. This guarantees a flawless foundation for every print.

Durable Build Surface

The printer is equipped with a double-sided flexible magnetic build plate, featuring a special coating that improves model adhesion. This innovative design ensures prints remain secure during printing while allowing for effortless removal once completed. The flexible plate makes it easy to detach finished models without the need for tools or excessive force.

Powerful Processing Capabilities

At the core of the X-Max 3 is an RK3328 quad-core Cortex-A53 64-bit processor, running at a frequency of 1.5 GHz. This powerful processing unit enables high-speed printing and precise control over complex print jobs, ensuring smooth performance even during demanding tasks.

User-Friendly Software Integration

Complementing its advanced hardware, the X-Max 3 includes the intuitive QIDI Print slicer software. Designed for both beginners and experienced users, it offers a streamlined workflow with features that enhance the 3D printing experience. For those who prefer other platforms, the printer is also compatible with third-party slicers such as Ultimaker Cura, Simplify3D, and PrusaSlicer, providing greater flexibility in preparing print files.

Quiet and Efficient Operation

Recognising the importance of a quiet workspace, the X-Max 3 is designed for low-noise operation. It incorporates TMC2209 silent stepper drivers, which significantly reduce noise levels during printing. This makes it a suitable choice for various environments, including workshops, offices, and home settings.

Comprehensive Package

The X-Max 3 arrives fully assembled and ready to use, allowing users to start printing within minutes. The package includes essential accessories, such as a filament dry box to maintain filament quality, a spool of filament to kickstart projects, and all necessary tools for maintenance and adjustments. This complete setup ensures users have everything needed to begin their 3D printing journey immediately.

Conclusion

The Qidi Tech X-Max 3 stands out as a versatile and high-performance 3D printer, catering to a broad range of printing requirements. Its combination of speed, precision, and user-friendly features makes it an invaluable addition to any professional or personal workspace, empowering users to bring their creative ideas to life with efficiency and ease.
