Manual Installation

with Cura not running, unpack the QidiPrint-1.1.0.zip to this specific folder:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\cura\4.7\plugins\
  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cura/4.7/plugins/
  • Linux: /home/<username>/.local/share/cura/4.7/plugins/

In order to add Qidi printer definitions, unpack the Qidi Printer Definitions.zip to this specific folder:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\cura\4.7\
  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cura/4.7/
  • Linux: /home/<username>/.local/share/cura/4.7/

Configuration

Do NOT try to add a new "networked printer"! This is only for Ultimaker printers.

QIDI printers are configured through the extension menu bar:

  • Start Cura
  • From the menu bar choose: Extensions -> QidiPrint -> QidiPrint Connections

Screenshot of the menu bar entry

  • Click "Add"

Screenshot of the edit dialog

  • Enter the name of your printer
    • e.g., X-MAKER
  • Enter the IP of your printer
    • e.g., 192.168.10.205
  • Click "Ok"
  • Done!

Now you can load a model and slice it. Then look at the bottom right - there
should be the big blue button with you printer name on it!
