Q2 Combo

I just got a Q2 Combo a couple weeks ago and it's been solid. I haven't done any modifications to the printer yet, but at the very least, I am going to print the part cooling duct upgrade. I have not done any other calibrations since the initial setup calibration routine. No specific filament tuning

Check out r/3Dprinting and take a look at their getting started wiki, lots of very useful information in there and a great starting guide for beginners. If you can spare it, go right for an enclosed printer like a Qidi Q2 or a Bambu P1S and skip the open ones, the quality is just insane. The technol

How technology savvy are you? The Bambu ecosystem is fairly fool-proof, but the P1S and P2S have some compromises that others do not. If you’re at somewhat technically capable and willing, I’d consider something else. I wouldn’t consider Flashforge due to privacy concerns, which you can read about o

That's tough on the pricing honestly. Personally, I'd go for a CoreXY printer over the bedslingers (e.g. Ender, Neptune, A1 on your list). CoreXY is a bit more complicated but in general better print quality and faster. You don't get too much into expected usage, but are you going to want or 'need'

I was deciding between those 2 also.... But then I went with Q2 combo and no regrets 👍 Reasons: Multi color material is great, but in my case for kids mostly. As I was thinking more to print functional parts for home, garden, garage... Where color is not that important and multicolor not at all. 2nd

My configuration appears to be working! Thank everyone in the community for their help. Here's a summary: TLDR: Buy the Q2, not the Q2C, if you want chamber heating. If you do this, you will not be supported by Qidi. Qidi will tell you that it cannot be done. If you do the hardware wrong, or configu

Consider your REAL budget, as well as the size of things you intend to print. PLA and PETG are relatively easy but going beyond those an enclosure can be beneficial along with filters and/or ventilation. A majority of the mid-range printers (I would go with a CoreXY printer over a bed-slinger today

Then the Pruse Core One + Kit, rhe P2S Combo or the QIDI Q2 Combo, QIDI Max4 3D Printer maybe. Overall, the Prusa Core One+ Kit (with indx later) is probably the best overall option.

I ordered a Q2 Combo that said In Stock until I received it without a qidi box. They have some real deceptive marketing practices but seems to be the norm for 3D printers companies in that region.

Kobra S1 was my first ever 3D Printer. Thankfully i know Better now. I understand why people on 3D Printing hate and make fun of Anycubic Printers Im happy with my Snapmaker U1 and am planing to replace the Kobra S1 with P2S Combo or Q2 Combo
