Overview

The QIDI Plus5 is an enclosed CoreXY printer with a 320 x 320 x 300 mm build volume, a 370°C nozzle, a 120°C bed and active chamber heating to 65°C. It replaces the discontinued Plus4 with a larger build volume, an X-axis linear guide rail, 3-in-1 HEPA filtration and dual-band Wi-Fi.

What it is

The QIDI Plus5 is an enclosed CoreXY FDM printer with active chamber heating to 65°C, a 370°C nozzle and a 320 x 320 x 300 mm build volume. QIDI names it as the successor to the QIDI Plus4, which QIDI has discontinued. This page covers the base Plus5. QIDI also sells the Plus5 Combo, which adds a QIDI Box for multicolor printing, and bundles that include its Polar Cooler accessory.

What changed versus the Plus4

Top speed (600 mm/s), acceleration (20,000 mm/s²), the 370°C nozzle, the 120°C bed and the 65°C chamber limit all carry over. The changes are elsewhere:

Build volume: 320 x 320 x 300 mm, up from 305 x 305 x 280 mm.
Leveling: QIDI now specifies a hotend load cell; the Plus4 sheet named no sensor.
Chamber heater: QIDI calls it 3rd Gen independent heating, rated at 550 W.
Motion: an X-axis linear guide rail, where the Plus4 lists 10 mm hardened steel shafts.
Filtration: a 3-in-1 filter with a G3 pre-filter, H12 HEPA and coconut shell activated carbon, versus an activated carbon filter on the Plus4.
Wi-Fi: 2.4 and 5 GHz, where the Plus4 listed 2.4 GHz only.
Screen: a 4-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, smaller than the 5-inch screen on the Plus4.

The footprint barely moves: 500 x 488 x 558 mm and 29 kg net, versus 505 x 487 x 550 mm and 27 kg.

Key specs that matter

Materials: QIDI lists PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, TPU, PA, PC and carbon or glass fiber composites. It recommends 95A TPU.
Extruder: direct drive with hardened steel gears and a bimetal 0.4 mm nozzle, with 0.2, 0.6 and 0.8 mm options.
Flow: the hotend is rated at 40 mm³/s, though QIDI's FAQ says high-speed PLA and ABS typically run around 30 mm³/s.
Bed: double-sided PEI magnetic plate on a silicone-heated aluminum plate.
Camera: up to 1080p with timelapse and AI detection.
Storage and control: 32 GB eMMC, USB drive printing, Ethernet and QIDI Cloud.
Software: Klipper firmware. QIDI Studio is recommended, and OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer also work.
Power: QIDI lists steady-state draw of about 190 W for PLA and 500 W for ABS at a 25°C room temperature.

Who it suits

The Plus5 fits buyers who print large functional parts in ABS, ASA, nylon, polycarbonate or fiber-filled filaments and want a hot chamber to control warping. Tom's Hardware's verdict called it a strong choice for large prints in high-temperature filaments, and it printed PPS-CF cleanly where the Plus4 had struggled. It also suits people who already use Klipper or OrcaSlicer.

What to know before buying

Price: at the time of writing (October 2026), QIDI's US store lists the Plus5 at $749 and the Plus5 Combo at $899, shipped from a US warehouse. Polar Cooler bundles add $100.
QIDI Box: Tom's Hardware did not receive a QIDI Box with its Plus5. Judging the Box from its use on the QIDI Q2, it called it still not dependable and treated the Plus5 as single color for now. A MAX4 Box connects directly, while a Plus4 or Q2 Box needs QIDI's hub and signal cable.
Filament loading: the same review found rear loading awkward, with filament catching on the coupler.
PLA: QIDI advises keeping the chamber at or below 45°C for PLA.
Warranty: QIDI lists a 1-year warranty and a 14-day no-reason return.

Compared with the Creality K2 Plus, the Plus5 is smaller but runs a hotter nozzle and chamber at a lower price. Compared with the QIDI Q2, it shares the same temperature limits with a much bigger build volume. See also the best enclosed printers and best large-format printers.

Pros and cons

Pros

QIDI lists independent active chamber heating to 65°C, which helps ABS, ASA, nylon and polycarbonate parts resist warping.
A 370°C bimetal nozzle and 120°C bed cover engineering filaments and carbon or glass fiber composites listed by QIDI.
The 320 x 320 x 300 mm build volume is larger than the Plus4 in a footprint of almost the same size.
Load cell leveling in the hotend probes the bed through the nozzle, and Tom's Hardware reported that auto leveling worked without problems.
A 3-in-1 filter with G3 pre-filter, H12 HEPA and activated carbon handles fumes from ABS and similar materials.
Dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB and 32 GB onboard storage give several ways to send and store print jobs.

Cons

Tom's Hardware, judging the QIDI Box from its use on the QIDI Q2 rather than with this Plus5, said it still is not dependable, so multicolor is not a strong reason to buy.
Tom's Hardware found rear filament loading awkward because the filament tends to catch on the coupler.
The 4-inch touchscreen is smaller than the 5-inch screen on the Plus4 it replaces.
At 29 kg net and 500 x 488 x 558 mm, it needs a sturdy table and clearance around the back and sides.
QIDI's FAQ says typical high-speed PLA and ABS flow is around 30 mm³/s, below the 40 mm³/s hotend rating.
Chamber heating draws real power, with QIDI listing about 500 W steady-state when printing ABS.

Frequently asked questions

Is the QIDI Plus5 the replacement for the Plus4?

Yes. QIDI's Plus4 page says that model is discontinued and names the Plus5 as its successor. The Plus5 keeps 600 mm/s, a 370°C nozzle and 65°C chamber heating while growing the build volume to 320 x 320 x 300 mm.

Can the QIDI Plus5 print nylon and polycarbonate?

Yes. QIDI lists PA, PC and carbon or glass fiber composites, supported by a 370°C nozzle, a 120°C bed and active chamber heating to 65°C. Tom's Hardware also reported clean results with PPS-CF.

Should I buy the Plus5 or the Plus5 Combo?

The Combo adds a QIDI Box for multicolor printing at $899 versus $749 at the time of writing. Tom's Hardware, which judged the QIDI Box on the QIDI Q2 rather than the Plus5, still considered it unreliable, so buyers who mainly print single color may prefer the base printer.

Does the QIDI Plus5 work with 5 GHz Wi-Fi?

Yes. QIDI's FAQ lists 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, along with Ethernet, QIDI Cloud and offline USB printing. The Plus4 listed 2.4 GHz only.

Can I use my old QIDI Box with the Plus5?

Yes, with an adapter. QIDI says the MAX4 version of the QIDI Box works directly, while a Plus4 or Q2 Box needs the QIDI BOX Hub and Signal Cable. Using multiple boxes also needs the Expansion Kit.

Verdict

Buy the base Plus5 if you want a large enclosed printer with real chamber heating and a 370°C nozzle for engineering materials at a mid-range price. Look elsewhere if reliable multicolor printing or a compact desktop footprint matters more to you.
