Hey everyone! 👋

I recently joined the club as a proud new owner of a Plus 5 Combo, and I’m loving it so far! I had zero issues printing my PLA test parts straight out of the box — super smooth experience.

Then I set up the QIDI Box with 2 PLA spools and 2 PETG spools. Here’s where I’m stuck: whenever I try to launch a PETG print, the machine simply won’t let me select anything other than PLA. No matter what I try, PETG just isn’t available as an option.

I’m guessing this might be a filament-mapping or preset issue in QIDI Studio, but I can’t figure out where it’s going wrong.

I’ll admit I’m suffering a little from being an early adopter here — the Plus 5 is so new that the documentation isn’t fully up to date yet, so I’m turning to the community for wisdom! 🙏

Has anyone run into this? Any tips on getting PETG (or “PETG Tough”) properly recognized and selectable through the QIDI Box would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and happy printing! 🔥
