Filament and spool compatibility
Supported for feeding: 1.75 mm PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PET, PA, PC, dried PVA, dried BVOH, PP, POM, HIPS, TPU 64D, ABS-CF/GF, PLA-CF/GF, PETG-CF/GF, PPS-CF and PET-CF/GF, subject to the filament manufacturer's requirements.
Not supported: TPE, generic TPU (including TPU 95A), damp PVA/BVOH, QIDI PAHT-CF, some silk PLA and glow-in-the-dark PLA, and other excessively rigid or flexible filaments. Box feeding compatibility does not establish your printer's material capability or guarantee that different materials can be combined in one print.
Spool size: 195–202 mm diameter and 50–72 mm width. Cardboard spools should not be used directly; QIDI recommends a suitable spool adapter or adapter ring.
Drying guidance: 65°C is the maximum temperature, not a fixed setting for every material. Follow the filament manufacturer's drying instructions; materials requiring higher drying temperatures need appropriate separate drying equipment.
