  • At this point it’s a just a fork of FreeCAD with a slight UI overhaul and some usability improvements. It’s still FreeCAD underneath. Ondsels product is their FreeCAD compatible collaborative cloud. They have made some changes to the workbenches to simply them and are contributing it back to main FreeCAD. But the learning curve is still there. The bugs on Windows that can crash your projects still occur. But you can use WSL to install the Linux version and not have any issues.







  • I fixed the link for the discord. The x-max 3 in particular has issues with leveling its bed. It generally ships with a bl-touch style sensor, when you run the auto bed-mesh, you will see that it has massive distortions on the bed. This is because the magnets qidi uses are too strong and messes up the bl-touch. Also, it has a hard time cooling the toolhead processors, which leads to the toolhead overheating and stopping your print. Qidi does offer fixes for these issues though.

    More odd stuff is that they run a linux service that takes over klippers z offset feature and also runs the screen (there is no video out on the board), the toolhead runs over 24v usb-c.
