looking for hassle-free 3d printer under 3K$

[curious aardvark]

it's very new - qidi are totally legit.
One of the best chinese manufacturers. Known for excellent after sales service and support and for using quality components.

The qidi max has only been around for a few months in - what is essentially - a saturated market.
95reviews on amazon is high for a new 3d printer. And the 5 star rating is most likely genuine.
Qidi ARE NOT creality !

for the price the x-max is probably the best ready built machine around with a decent build volume.
Plus comes with the 300c easy-swap hotend.

Read a few reviews - look pretty genuine to me. Clearly native english speakers and people who have bought the machine, not had it to review.

Seriously - look around at posts about qidi and their machines on here. I can't recall any negative comments. When they released their first replicator pro, we enede up with a thread with 410 pages !
I reckon this forum alone accou8nted for a good percentage of their sales - purely on recommendation.
