The max bed temperature of 120°C is below the recommended 130°C for PEEK. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.
| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 370-420°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 370°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 130-160°C |
| Printer Max Bed | 120°C |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 120°C, but PEEK needs at least 130°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your QIDI Plus4 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need PEEK specifically, you'll need a printer with an all-metal hotend rated for 370°C+ nozzle and 130°C+ heated bed.
