I received the Qidi Tech 3D printer yesterday and so far I am very pleased. Now this printer is a big step up from the crappy mini 3D printer I bought from a crowd funder a year ago.

First, like most have already said, the instructions for setup are not great. But, you know, even though I was worried when I first got it that it might be difficult, I found out quickly that is wasn't. In reality, it was pretty easy to put together. Most of it is already setup, you just have to put the extruders on and the figure out the calibration. Also installing the cooling fan was pretty straight forward. I was a bit confused when I reviewed the instruction for oiling it, and not having any oil. So I did have to go buy some 3-1 oil. Also, you do get a lot of extra parts, but don't panic, they are only extra parts and you didn't miss something when you put it together.

Beyond that, I have had great success. Admitting my own mistake, of buying black ABS instead of black PLA, I had the settings wrong on my first 2 prints, which gummed up the extruder a bit (be patient if this happens, let it cool off, and just pull of the excess dried filament), because the plate heat setting was too low. After raising the heat level, I got a great print even though the printing setting was still on PLA and the filament was ABS. Didn't realize that until this morning.

Why did I give it 5 stars? Right now, I am very pleased. I hope that does not change.

So here is also why.
Price - $500 cheaper than the FlashForger Creator Pro, but just as good (or maybe better).
Extra Special Touches - They include a cooling fan, extra parts and a cool little tool kit.
Customer Service - Even though it is a Chinese company, they tried hard to provide information and instructions in English. And from the printed greeting sheet, you can tell they want to make sure you are happy with your product. They even include a Skype contact. Never seen that before from a company.
Print quality - Very good so far.
Calibration - Very easy. It's not self calibrating, but not hard to do.

I'm sure I could keep going on, but won't. I am happy with the printer and recommend if your in the market for a good 3D printer, give this one a chance.

Update. Added a new picture of some awesome Star Wars items I found on Thingiverse. Sooo cool.

UPDATE: Awesome Customer Service
Recently, I was having a bit of trouble getting large flat prints to stay flat and hold to the heat platform. I contacted Qidi Customer service by email and received a response within a day. Audrey, the customer service representative, was very helpful and patient to explain what I was doing wrong and offered suggestions to correct the issues. Seems I had my temperature settings wrong and after correcting them, I got good flat prints, but still had to alter the settings some.

NOTE: The blue plate should be flat and level, however, I found a strange offset on the back-right and back-left when leveling. She said it was normal. I also asked how to set the proper level height and her response was: "The paper should touch the extruder with a little friction."
This was very helpful as I was never sure of the friction I should have. I also still need to increase the heat about 4c depending on the size of a flat print. The last 3" print I did, I set extruder at 220c and plate at 48c, and did get a flat print but a bit of edge warp on one corner.

Anyways, I was very happy with the customer service of this company.
