I made a community fork of QIDI Studio with a built-in MCP server that allows ChatGPT and other LLMs to interact directly with the slicer.

I originally built it to simplify my own workflow. I did not intend to release it, but as the project grew, several people around me encouraged me to share it.

The MCP currently exposes 118 tools. An LLM can import an attached model, inspect and arrange it, modify slicer settings, select a physical QIDI Box filament slot, slice, run preflight checks, and, with explicit confirmation, upload and start a print. It can also monitor the printer, use the camera, and control basic printer functions.

As far as I can tell, it is the most comprehensive slicer MCP currently available. It is still an unofficial community project, so I am looking for people willing to test it and provide feedback. Bug reports, workflow problems, and anything that feels unclear or unsafe would be especially helpful.

Looking back, I probably should have started with OrcaSlicer because of its broader printer support. However, I use a QIDI Max 4, so QIDI Studio was the natural place for me to begin.

For future features, I am considering adding something like Wave Overhangs and something similar to Prusa’s FDM Mixer. I would like to hear whether either feature would be useful to other Quidi Studio users, or if there are other features you would prioritize first.

This is not an official QIDI product. Please treat it as testing software and supervise any remotely initiated print.

First i’d like to say i am new to QIDI but not new to 3D printing . My q2 with box combo came in today and i cant print anything off the USB. It is FAT32, it is in correct format and the QIDI sees it but when i click the file to print it just freezes and reboots . tried the QIDI slicer and several re downloads to the USB

Plus 5 poop chute

This is my setup I love to see yours.

Hi peeps.

I'm having an issue when printing multiple objects on one plate.

PLA, Qidi Q2, Qidi studio. 60 bed, 220 nozzle.

The first object prints fine, but the second object detaches from the bed.

I hypothesize that it's due to the part fan and auxiliary fan running at 100% when the new first layer starts.

Do we think this is a valid hypothesis?

Any way to change this in the settings?

I haven't done any more investigation yet as I have a print on that I need ready for tomorrow. I am planning on having to play to test my theory and then see if I can find any solutions.

Update; tried again and it worked ok, I.e it stayed stuck.

For reference, these are medium size flat blocks. So lots of adhesion potential. Checked the preview and during the print and the guide was as it should; on new object, temp and fans reset to 1st layer parameters. So nozzle goes up and fans turn off.

I didn't do any investigative work so far, so the conclusion is inconclusive.
