QIDI Plus5 Arrives as the Middle Child in a Growing Large-Format Lineup

QIDI officially launched the Plus5 on August 5, 2026, filling a gap in its large-format lineup. The printer sits between the compact Q2 and the enormous Max4, targeting users who need more build space without the Max4's footprint and price.

The Plus5 keeps the active heated chamber that QIDI customers already know from other models. That matters for materials like ABS and nylon, which warp without a stable ambient temperature. QIDI is pitching the Plus5 as its mid-year flagship, with introductory pricing that includes up to $80 off and a free kilogram of filament for early buyers.

Early community discussion suggests the Plus5 shares much of its design DNA with the Q2. Reddit threads from the QIDI community note that the chamber heater is the same unit used across the current range, and the machine slots neatly between its siblings in terms of size and capability. For buyers outside the EU, where the Plus4 has been hard to find, the Plus5 may serve as the most accessible large-format option in the catalog.

QIDI has not published full build volume specs as of launch morning, but the company describes the Plus5 as a high-performance machine aimed at professional and prosumer users. The printer supports multi-material printing, and its smarter marketing push points to improved onboard sensors and connectivity features compared to older Plus-series models.

At the price point QIDI is advertising, the Plus5 undercuts many competing large-format machines. That could make it a serious option for engineers, small businesses, and educators who need to print bigger parts but cannot justify the cost of an industrial system.
