- I had a bit of trouble getting my Qidi X-Smart 3 to talk to my computer over my Wifi. Once I figured it out, I decided the solution was worth sharing with others having the same difficulty.

good job I'm just getting started with the X plus 3. This is my 4th printer, for some reason I've struggled a little bit. Thanks to your video I've been able to answer some questions and resolve most of my problems. Prusa slicer is quite a bit different Cura. I think that's where my difficulty lay rather than with the printer. BTW if I do use glue stick I normally dilute it with alcohol work better and is neater.
when he is talking about the computer network needing to be on the same network as my printer at 5:00 in the video can i use eithernet or no for my pc
@hihihihihihihihihello Yes, if your ethernet is connected into your home network and your wifi connects into your same network. All of my devices are wireless, but I have an ethernet port on my router that would allow me to connect into the same network. Hope it works the same for you.
Word of advise: you need to clean the carbon fiber rods that the printing head glide on with a IPA every couple of weeks.
I appreciate your comments. Thank you!
IPA?
@@kevinm4664 IPA is isopropyl alcohol. I use 90% for cleaning the plate and my carbon rods.

I am glad you have realized that showing your network password is not a good idea. One don't have to be at your house to connect to your network if one knows your password. By the way showing your local network IP address is not advisable either.
Saved me! I could not find the internet option. I also ran into an issue (still an issue) where my computer is LAN only and will only see the 5ghz network and the printer can only see the 2.4ghz network. Thus they can't talk to each other : (
Oh good! I'm glad to help. You can get a dongle to plug into a USB port for wireless network. I use one on my old old desktop, in fact. Here's one that might work from Amazon: TP-Link AC1300 USB WiFi Adapter(Archer T3U)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter for PC Desktop, MU-MIMO WiFi Dongle, USB 3.0, Supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP/Mac OS X 10.9-10.14 a.co/d/21s6peB
Ive been 3d printing for several years now and decided to grab one of these as I've been excited about the Klipper firmware. Pretty neat little printer.
One recommendation for you is if your magnetic plate is spring steel (red copper looking) it is best not to use a metal scraper against it, it could damage the coat
I absolutely agree. Plastic scraper only!
thank you so much i just got the printer and the wifi was a big selling point for me and without your help i probably wouldnt have gotten it to work
Glad to help!
