The QIDI Tech i Mate comes stock with a 0.4 mm nozzle, giving you the best balance between speed and detail. The nozzle can be heated up to 250°C.
The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple and effective.
The QIDI Tech i Mate can print with PLA, TPU, PETG, and Wood filaments with a diameter of 1.75 mm.
Its extruder system comes with two nozzle cooling fans for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints. The fan settings can be easily managed from the main control panel even while printing.
Unlike many FDM 3D printers, the QIDI Tech i Mate is equipped with a detachable magnetic build plate that provides effortless print removal and good first layer adhesion. Paired with an enclosed print chamber, the machine can reliably print with high-temperature and ABS-like materials.
The QIDI Tech i Mate offers a pretty decent build volume of 260 x 200 x 200 mm that lets you print a single large model or simultaneously create several smaller ones in one go.
The printer is controlled via a full-color touchscreen that provides for effortless standalone operation. It features crystal clear logic behind menu options and is intuitive to use. You can also control the printer by using a Wi-Fi or USB-connected device.
3D models can be printed via Wi-Fi, USB cable or directly via an SD card or USB drive.
The printer is recommended to be used with QIDI Print slicer, a self-developed software solution that is easy to use and intuitive. It is based on the popular Cura Slicer and provides most of the features of its counterpart. Besides, the QIDI Tech i Mate can be controlled with Simplify3D or Cura. The software runs on Windows 64-bit and Mac OS operating systems.
