_top_ - Qidi Xplus Firmware Install

The Qidi X-Plus is a versatile consumer 3D printer known for its enclosed build chamber, dual-extruder capability (on some models via upgrade), and ease of use. Like many hobbyist printers, it occasionally benefits from firmware updates to fix bugs, improve print quality, add features, or support new hardware. This essay explains the reasons for installing custom or official firmware on the Qidi X-Plus, outlines preparations and required materials, presents a clear step-by-step installation procedure (covering both official updates and common custom-firmware approaches), discusses post-installation checks and troubleshooting, and assesses risks and best practices. The goal is to give an informed, practical guide so an owner can decide whether to update firmware and, if so, perform the installation safely and effectively.

About the Author

Hey, this is Artem - test engineer, educator, and the person behind this academy.

I like test automation because it drastically reduces the workload of manual testing. Also, it's a lot of fun when you build a system that autonomously does your job.

Since 2020, I have been teaching how to use the best frameworks on the market, their best practices, and how to approach test automation professionally. I enjoy helping QAs around the world elevate their careers to the next level.
