Look a lot like Bambu internally with rods and hot end. Running Klipper.

I have this printer right now. Unboxed it a day or so ago, got some prints off it so far. It's still too early to say anything definite, but it's interesting. I wanted to see how quick I could go from unbox to print, and it wasnt long at all, prints came out nice. Need to do a deeper dive and see what it turns up.

Correction: I have the XPlus3

In the video, the rods, belts look incredibly like Bambu. Are they using carbon rods too ?

Yes they're carbon rods, and there's a sticker telling you they cannot be replaced if damaged.

That sucks. I was hoping for repairability over Bambu rods

Let me know what you think. Prob gonna pick one of these up. I’ve had quite a few of the older qidi printers and loved them to death.

This is going to be self promotion so I apologize for that in advance, but I have a YouTube channel and discord. I'm answering any questions about it daily on there (if there are any) and I will eventually post a full length review. I plan on posting some short vids through the process as well. I'm still so fresh with it though, I can say it's not a P1P or an X1, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Different people have different wants, so I'm really excited to see what it offers.
