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

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.

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
