QIDI Slicer Setup - Phil1988/FreeDi GitHub Wiki
What are we doing now?
Configuring QIDI Slicer for optimal FreeDi integration: FreeDi-specific tweaks, improved thumbnail generation, network upload etc..
⚠️ Quick Context: This takes ~15-20 minutes per printer. Each printer model needs different configuration due to varying stock implementaions of QIDI.
Jump to your printer model:
- Installation (required for all models)
- General settings (applies to all models)
- X-Smart3
- X-Plus3

Installation
Setup QIDI Slicer
After installing QIDI Slicer, let's start to set it up.
As FreeDi is using the default port 80 (not the custom Qidi port 10088), you need to use this.
For QIDI Slicer:
- Go to Printer Settings.
- Change the Host Type to "Klipper (via Moonraker)
- Enter your IP, click Test and confim with OK.
General settings (applies to all models)
Show layer count at the display
This will only work on FreeDi v2.00 and higher.
The Slicers dont add layer information to the gcode by default. To add this, open your Slicer and go to the "Machine G-code" menue. There you will find a "Start G-code" field. Paste this line at the beginning of your "start G-code" section:
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO TOTAL_LAYER=[total_layer_count]
Then past this at the very end of your "end G-Code" section:
; total layers count = [total_layer_count]
The final step is to add this to your "Layer change G-code" / "After layer change G-code" (some Silcers name it differently):
SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO CURRENT_LAYER={layer_num + 1}
Don't forget to save this profile so that your changes take effect :)
