Good deal!
I am still so impressed with their support. They have even shown up in my facebook group for QIDI and have offered opinion on stuff. It is really great.

Interesting, how has it been working out?
I got a Matter and Form 3D scanner I'm going to start scanning some stuff and printing in different colors would be great.

It hasn't come yet but they have a cool app called ColorPrint which is pretty slick.

They have been great that is for sure.
Really dedicated to making sure the printers are solid and their customers are happy.

After several months of not printing, I turned my printer on. All I got was two rows of solid block characters on the displays. Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting? Or likely cause? TIA!

Hmm, what was the last thing you printed? Just kidding. Check all of the power supply output voltages are getting to the main board. Check that the connections to the LCD are screen are intact, maybe wiggle / re-seat all connectors.

You may need to contact Emily at QiDi in China. Her email address is emily@qd3dprinter.com.

Thanks. That's my plan and I have already sent an email to Emily. Thought I'd check here for ideas to.

Hopefully you can figure it out, mine is still going strong. Did you have the power cable unplugged while it wasn't in use?

Does the QiDi control board have a battery?

[JimHs1]

No, I didn't have it unplugged during the down time.

After leaving it turned on over night, the next morning the display showed the normal startup menu. Have now printed several things with no issue. Have turn it off and on several times since that morning without further issue.

That's good news Jim, let us know if anything goes haywire!

Dave, I don't believe I saw a battery underneath but I could have missed it.
