QIDI Plus5 3D printer review: The best one yet
Tom's Hardware Verdict QIDI Plus5 is a great machine for large-scale prints in high-temperature filaments. Its heated chamber lets you tackle ABS, PC, and Nylon without worry. We only wish the QIDI Box, the multimaterial handler introduced last year, had also been improved.
