You just sold me! I just now purchased one on the QIDI web site for $100 off. It's currently going for $2199, and I wasn't charged sales tax or shipping, which makes it just that much better! (I was going to purchase the QIDI X-Max until I saw your video on the i-Fast.)
thank you i was looking at putting linear rails on my sovol svo4 and changing to a 1/4" (6.36mm thick plate) However after seeing how well this is built i think I'll just upgrade to it then put the money and working into fixing my sovol
I've got a SV04 also.. and while I like it, I need a larger build volume 310MM min.. so I might grab one of these even though it isn't a new machine...
This gave me the idea to feed my DIY filament dryer through the _bottom_ of the dryer case and directly into the top of the enclosure. But, for this much money, this printer should have a dryer/feeder for the filament.
Hello Nexi, I purchased an i-fast a few months ago and I recently decided to purchase some new nozzles for the low temp extruders but they don't fit into the heat block threads. They're too big. My 7mm wrench that fits the original nozzles is too small to fit the new ones that I bought (MK10 Nozzle for 3D Printer, 18 Pcs M7 Brass Extruder Head Hotend Nozzles 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm fit 1.75mm Filament). Can you please tell me what size/type I should have purchased? I can't find any definitive answer online.
Have you ever done a dimensional layout study to determine how well the QIDI I-FAST holds designed dimensions vs printed dimensions? I am interesting in sharing data.
I owned an i-fast for around 6 months and it is one of the worst things I have ever bought; it is a slow lumbering oaf of a machine. I never got a decent quality print from it in any material and it was far from fast. I sold the I-fast and bought a Bambu Lab X1C and I couldn't be happier with the performance.
Hello friend, I bought one of these in my country but since I didn't buy it in their store I don't have support, and my printer didn't come with the USB, do you think you could send me the files that come in the USB please? ?
@@CartasdeunAsesino Here you go my friend, just download this file and you have the whole USB content that comes with the printer. u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZUxwPVZ84wwfe90OeBdVFx5GadSfYH4Tdsy
Hello Nexi Tech, thanks for this review! I have a question for you: I would need a reliable 3D printer, i think it’s called a “prosumer” printer. I have had a bad experience with Zortrax M300 dual (a lot of issues related to layer shifting and platform warping); would you suggest this QIDI ? Thanks
Thanks Nexi, a great review. I have owned a Qidi X-plus for nearly 4 years, and had excellent results with it. So I decided to stick with Qidi and upgrade to the iFast. Having only just seen your review, I'm relieved, as the new machine is coming tomorrow. I can't wait to start using it. This will be my first dual-filament printer. It's a shame that PVA support filament is so fantastically expensive though.
Hi. Thanks for sharing the best ones. I have checked commercial color printer, color laser printer and many different types of printers all my life. One cannot pick and choose amongst those because all have their specifications but it is just that it depends on your requirement. I completely rely on Axis Business Technologies for copiers and printers related decisions. They have been such a help because apart from providing good services, they also offer repair services.
Incorrect on the PEI build plate, its actually best for Nylon, PC and other high temp materials, the standard build plate is PC coated and is best for PLA and ABS, the black side of the stock build plate is less than useless and I wouldn't waste my time with it, you can actually make do with just the PEI build, or better replace them with dual sided powder coated PEI plate from Enegentic or similar clone, these plates warp less and work for TPU/PLA/ABS/PETG/NYLON/PC.....
@@NexiTech I don't need to do research, I mainly print Nylon and PC, and I'm a reseller for QIDI-TECH printers, I print PA-CF, PA6-CF, PA12-CF, PC and PC-CF daily on multiple machines, all on Powder Coated Textured PEI build plates, so I do know what I'm talking about, my channel has videos of my QIDI TECH's and Ratrig's printing PC-CF on PEI plates.
This printer isn’t made to print in dual color. It’s for printing support material in a different material to be able to print with 0 gap to get high quality prints in PA/PC.
It's a universally recognized print that tells the viewer more about the printer than a random, unrecognized print would. I don't see how printing anything else would have improved his video.

Excellent review Nexi, thank you. 👍🏻 Great looking printer with nice features.
I'm your fan lives in korea. I love your reviews so much!😆

Hi that was a fantastic review but i could not find the link for the grill in the description ?.
What is the max volumetric flow rate for qidi i-fast ?

Will you be reviewing the CR M4? I didn’t know this printer existed but I would like to compare the two. Thanks 🙏
Great review as usual.
Thanks!
Is your extruder dual gear or single gear for pushing filament through?

Great review. I was wondering how the Qidi-i-fast would compare to the Ultimaker S3, as both have duel print heads and can print similar materials.
For dual-head 3D printers that can use carbon fiber, we would choose from the following:
１．QIDI i-fast
２．Flashforge creator 3 pro
３．snapmaker J1S
thanks for this review, very informative well done👍👍
how does this printer compete against the X1C? In terms of speed and quality.
I owned an i-fast for around 6 months and it is one of the worst things I have ever bought; it is a slow lumbering oaf of a machine. I never got a decent quality print from it in any material and it was far from fast. I sold the I-fast and bought a Bambu Lab X1C and I couldn't be happier with the performance.
Cool. Nice review. Deadpool bust in black and red would've been good.

Ill answer.. a friend of mine has this in his print farm..its definitely a workhorse. Go for it
why you did not show how to level it ?
It's the standard leveling procedure just like with any other 3D printer without autolevel. Been showing it for years on the channel.
@@NexiTech wow for 2.5 k printer it dont have autoleveling ..woo i hope you are super payd for this video

QIDI I-FAST has high failure extruders. Either do not feed filament or plug up easily. QIDI DOES NOT HONOR WARRANTY.
good review indeed
Thanks man!

PEI build plates have terrible adhesive for Nylon and Polycarbonate filament. Please do some research before you write comments like this.

@@Todestelzer That had literally nothing to do with my original comment, but yeah, okay.. thanks.

The best huh? I guess you haven't reviewed many printers or they paid you quite well.
I don't do paid reviews and you are more then welcome to check my other 3D printer videos. Have a good day.
Stupid product name and brand name but cool printer.
