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

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

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.

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'

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

I have had my Q2 for a little over 2 months and over 200 hours printing on it. Mostly multi color with the qidibox and have only had one part in a multi part print fail because it didn’t stick to the plate so it is probably partially my fault. This is also my first 3d printer and first time using 3d

They both are excellent printers. I had the same goals- targeting specifically the higher end/higher temp engineering filaments and at the time the Qidi Plus 4 was the best option hands down. It has been a unbeleivably good printer to that end. It virtually eliminated the entire learning curve for h

I'm one of the users present in this sub that is very happy with his KS1C so my advice would be to buy it again. You're right, you have to tinker with every printer. That's part of the FDM printing world. We've come a long way already, some available models are very very user friendly, but in the en

Coming from the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo (my first ever 3D printer) i only have problems cause of the awful Bed. Its currently on Sale and im looking for an alternativ with which i can Print ABS, PLA and PETG. ABS for Car Stuff. Sometimes Multicolor but i have the Snapmaker U1 for that. I am torn bet

I own a Prusa (Core One L) and am quite happy with it. Someone will be around shortly to recommend a Bambulab A1. Note that once you step into multi-color or multi-material, single toolhead/nozzle printers waste a LOT of filament, often more than what's used for the printed object(s) in color change
