Downloading slicer software for I-Fast? Orca incompatible, QIDI website leads to google drive blocked by antivirus.
TL;DR: Original USB is not working, where to get the slicer software? Download of QIDI print slicer, which is the only software on QIDI website listed as compatible with I-Fast, leads to a google drive and the setup.exe file is being blocked by my antivirus. Any experience? Is it trustworthy?
Hello, i have recently purchased a QIDI tech I-fast printer second hand from someone who allegedly just opened it, and never used it.
This does appear to be true as the printer didnt have any of the packaging material removed from inside or arround it, and a red/black USB stick in a little bag was present.
I have gotten the printer running, everything seems nice and functional, i have already inserted filament and done the fast leveling process described, and i wanted to move onto the test print, which should have been present on the provided USB stick.
The printer does not react in any way to the USB stick being connected or disconnected, does not show any files or anything else. Neither does my computer, does not even register it as a connected device or anything.
I therefore not only do not have the test print file, but i mainly do not have the original intended software to download. So i went to the QIDI website, where there are three options - QIDI studio, QIDI slicer and QIDI print slicer. Only QIDI print slicer is listed as compatible with I-Fast.
Unlike the other pieces of SW, which seem to be readily downloadable from the website as one would expect, clicking the dowload link on the print slices leads me to a google drive.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BY65fwwVnyetR039GwgvAHeuEbIr1xfO
where there is a "QIDI setup 6.5.4.exe", which, according to the drive history was added by an account named 售后起迪科技 in 2023.
AVG blocked the download of this file. I could probably get arround it using a different browser, but i would first like to ask if anyone has any experience downloading this software?
I also originaly wanted to use Orca, but as i have found mentioned before, I-Fast is not one of the available profiles. Does maybe someone know if someone has created an available custom profile for it?
Thank you very much for your advice.
