Welcome to the FreeDi Wiki - a firmware to support Qidi X3 series printers and more

Overview

This project provides a custom LCD firmware for Qidi X3 series 3D printers (X-Max 3, X-Plus 3 and X-Smart 3) and enables seamless integration with the official mainline Klipper firmware.
It is designed to enhance your printing experience and offers a clean and intuitive user interface (UI) tailored for everyday use, combined with powerful functionality and flexibility - at least this is what I tell myself ;)

Key Highlights

  • Easily Up To Date: It includes mechanisms for OTA updates with only one click.
  • Seamless Compatibility: Works directly with the official Klipper firmware, no modifications required.
  • Enhanced User Interface: Provides a user-friendly display with intuitive controls and clear component naming.
  • Comprehensive Functionality: Supports temperature control, fan management, print monitoring, filament management, and more.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Includes an emergency stop button on every screen for immediate printer shutdown.
  • Thumbnail Support: Easily view print job thumbnails directly on the display - yes it works. yes :)
  • Safety Mechanisms: Features like "Prevent Cold Extrusion" and "Prevent Unhomed Move" ensure safe operation by disabling actions when temperatures are too low or homing hasn't been completed.
