Our verdict
Qidi Tech makes enclosed, multi color FDM printers for makers who want a roomy build volume and quick print speeds, not a catalogue of other machine types. It ships to AU, CA and GB, with entry pricing of €313.95 and a warranty of 1 year on every machine.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Enclosed build chambers across the range, which holds chamber heat steady on long jobs.
- Multi color printing is supported, so one job can draw on several filaments without a manual swap.
- Build volume of 390 mm, above the 350 median for this category.
- Maximum print speed of 800 mm/s, which shortens the time each layer takes.
- Support on email, phone and help centre, so buyers can reach a person by phone as well as in writing.
Cons
- The range covers fdm printer only, so buyers wanting resin printing, scanning or laser work need a wider catalogue such as MatterHackers, which lists fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner.
- A Qidi Tech printer starts at €313.95, well above the $89 entry point at SOVOL.
- Shipping is limited to AU, CA and GB, so buyers elsewhere need to confirm delivery and cover terms before ordering.
Who it suits
- Makers who print enclosures, brackets and functional parts in several materials and want the chamber closed.
- Buyers in the UK, US, Canada, Japan and Australia who want a large build volume without stepping up to a premium large-format machine.
- Hobbyists and small workshops that want a phone line alongside written help.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after resin printing, scanning or laser engraving, who should compare MatterHackers, which lists fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner.
- Buyers on the tightest budget, who should start with SOVOL at $89.
- Shoppers outside AU, CA and GB, who may prefer a seller closer to home, such as Farnell with fdm printer and 3d scanner.
What it does well
Qidi Tech machines are FDM printers with an enclosed build chamber, so heat stays consistent through long jobs and stray particles stay inside. Multi color printing is supported across the range, which means a single job can use more than one filament. Build volume reaches 390 mm, giving room for large enclosures, brackets and housings in one run without moving to a bigger machine. Maximum print speed is 800 mm/s, so layers are laid down quickly on volume work. Cover runs for 1 year, so faults in the first year are handled under the standard statement.
Where it sits among rivals
On build volume, Qidi Tech ranks 12 of 23 brands, which places it among the roomier machines in the field without reaching the largest formats. Entry price tells the other story: 19 of 27 brands start cheaper, so the least costly Qidi Tech printer asks more than most rivals. Warranty is where the ranking turns. Only 20 brands are counted on cover, and Qidi Tech sits at 5, close to the front. The trade-off to weigh is simple: mid table on price, strong on build size, strong on cover.
Who runs it
Qidi Tech is based in China and has been building printers since 2014, so there is more than a decade of product work behind the current range. Buyers reach the company on email, phone and help centre, a mix that pairs a help centre and email route with a community space and a phone line. Most setup questions land in the help centre first, and harder questions still have a number to call.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Qidi Tech printer cost to start with?+
The range opens at €313.95, the published entry price for one of its machines. That sits above the $89 starting point at SOVOL, so Qidi Tech is not the cheapest way to own a printer. The extra spend tends to buy an enclosed chamber rather than raw speed.
How large a print can a Qidi Tech printer build?+
Build volume reaches 390 mm, above the 350 median for the printers in this category and inside the 475 upper quartile. That is enough for enclosures, brackets and small batches in one run. Panel sized work is a step up from there.
Do Qidi Tech printers print in more than one color?+
Yes, multi color printing is listed as supported, so a single job can draw on several filaments. The machines are also enclosed, which helps with ABS and ASA work and keeps fumes contained. Maximum speed is 800 mm/s, so multi material jobs finish without a long wait.
How long is the Qidi Tech warranty?+
Cover runs for 1 year, and that sits at 5 of 20 brands on the warranty ranking. Most rivals in this group sit at the same length, with the longest listed at 3. Read your own statement for what the first year covers.
How do I get help from Qidi Tech?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so there is a help centre, an email route, a community space and a phone line. Self-service material handles most setup and troubleshooting, while the phone line covers questions that need a person to answer them.
Which countries does Qidi Tech ship to?+
Qidi Tech ships to AU, CA and GB, which covers the UK, the US, Canada, Japan and Australia. Buyers in those markets can order directly. Anyone outside that list should confirm shipping terms, delivery cost and where a warranty claim would be handled before ordering.
Does Qidi Tech sell resin printers, scanners or engravers?+
Qidi Tech lists fdm printer, so the catalogue stays with FDM machines. Resin printers, scanners and laser engravers sit elsewhere, and MatterHackers shows the wider spread with fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner. Shoppers who want several machine types may find more choice away from this brand.
Is Qidi Tech a new maker or an established one?+
The company was founded in 2014 and is based in China, so there is well over a decade of printer development behind the current range. The catalogue is narrow by design, limited to fdm printer, with the feature set concentrated on enclosed, multi color FDM work.
