	The discovery protocol used by QidiPrint involves broadcasting to an attached IPv4 network on udp/3000. A Qidi printer will respond from source port 3000 to some random on the broadcasting host. To do so, configure QidiPrint with the <i>host's</i> IP address on the relevant network, press "Apply", and then press "Refresh". The printer ought show up. Note that since the outgoing query went to the broadcast address, there will not be an existing connection, and local firewalling is likely to require a specific rule based off the source address and port (together with UDP).

			The X-Plus <b>does</b> appear to support the G2 and G3 commands. The [https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/arc_welder/ Arc Welder] OctoPrint plugin can thus be usefully applied to models involving lots of curves.

			==UART==
			The UART can be accessed by removing the bottom panel (involves removing 9 screws with an allen wrench, trivial) and hooking up the TX, RX, and GND lines of a USB-to-UART 3.3v adapter. See the far right of this picture:
