QIDI's new Plus5 prints 320 x 320 x 300 mm parts in a sealed 65C chamber with a 370C hotend and air filtration, all for under $750.

QIDI has released the Plus5, its first large-format enclosed printer in the Plus line. The build volume measures 320 x 320 x 300 mm, which is large enough to split most car and cosplay parts into fewer pieces. A 65C heated chamber, 370C hotend, and three-stage air filtration mean it is built for ABS, Nylon, PC, and other engineering materials without the usual warping headaches.

Hardware highlights

The Plus5 uses a rigid box frame with a two-rail gantry and direct-drive extruder. The 370C hotend opens up high-temperature filaments that many enclosed printers still struggle with. QIDI pairs this with a PEI plate on the bed and an automated leveling routine. The chamber heats to 65C in roughly 30 minutes, which is fast enough that you do not lose a full hour before printing starts.

Who it is for

The Plus5 targets two groups: makers who have outgrown a 250 mm cube and want something that fits on a desk, and small businesses printing jigs, brackets, and housings in-house. The price under $750 places it below the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and most other enclosed large-format options, though it lacks the X1's enclosed chamber camera and automatic multi-color system.

The trade-offs

QIDI ships the Plus5 as a single-extruder machine. If you need soluble supports or dual-color prints, you will need to look elsewhere or mod the hardware. The build volume is large but not the largest available. The Creality CR-M4 and Sovol SV06 Plus both push 400 mm on at least one axis for similar money. The Plus5's advantage is the chamber temperature and hotend ceiling, not raw size.

Availability

The Plus5 is shipping now from QIDI's global warehouse network. QIDI is offering a bundled spool of filament and a tool kit with early orders.
