A CoreXY machine, active heated chamber, high-temperature hotend&#8230; the Q-line DNA remains, but with some changes worth reviewing before buying, especially if you already own the Q1 Pro and are considering the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/eu.qidi3d.com\/cdn\/shop\/videos\/c\/vp\/72102a12d32d40bf8274c892427e34f2\/72102a12d32d40bf8274c892427e34f2.SD-480p-1.5Mbps-55135340.mp4?v=0\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physically, the Q2 surprised us with how compact it is for the build volume it offers. Its 402 \u00d7 438 \u00d7 494 mm total dimensions and 18.1 kg weight provide a build area of 270 \u00d7 270 \u00d7 256 mm, which slightly exceeds that of the Q1 Pro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-1024x398.png\" alt=\"Especificaciones t\u00e9cnicas - Volumen de impresi\u00f3n y dimensiones\" class=\"wp-image-41155\" title=\"- -\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-1024x398.png 1024w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-768x299.png 768w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-1536x597.png 1536w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-2048x796.png 2048w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-450x175.png 450w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-780x303.png 780w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-1600x622.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>extruded aluminum chassis<\/strong> has good rigidity, something we always like to highlight in QIDI machines because its performance in this regard is very important when printing \u2014 overall build quality and assembly are good&#8230; not exceptional, but QIDI improves with each new generation. The <strong>glass door<\/strong> improved in our view compared to the Q1, with a more comfortable knob and solving some of the opening issues we saw in the previous model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Z-axis uses four lead screws driven by a single stepper motor via a synchronization belt<\/strong>, which guarantees synchronized movement without the need for additional manual calibration. Although it is a reliable system, we would have liked them to incorporate two independent motors to automatically adjust axis deviations precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>heated chamber is active<\/strong>, with a <strong>280 W PTC heater that maintains the interior at 65\u00b0C in a stable manner<\/strong>. This is the most relevant difference compared to the Q2C, which does not include a heated chamber. The <strong>hotend cooling uses a 5015 radial fan<\/strong> with dual ducts below the nozzle, plus <strong>an auxiliary side fan<\/strong> for materials like PLA \u2014 though in our view, dual-sided cooling would be ideal for more uniform part cooling. For steep overhangs, the slicer automatically manages the auxiliary fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-1024x346.png\" alt=\"Panel de control frontal y pantalla t\u00e1ctil QIDI Q2\" class=\"wp-image-41153\" title=\"- -\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-1024x346.png 1024w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-768x260.png 768w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-1536x520.png 1536w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-2048x693.png 2048w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-450x152.png 450w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-780x264.png 780w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1-1600x541.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-box stk-block-icon-box stk-block stk-2a65881\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"2a65881\"><style>.stk-2a65881 {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-2a65881 .stk-block-icon-box__content{padding-top:16px !important;padding-right:16px !important;padding-bottom:16px !important;padding-left:16px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-block-icon-box__content stk-container stk-2a65881-container stk-hover-parent\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-3c65b10\" data-block-id=\"3c65b10\"><style>.stk-3c65b10 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon has-text-align-left stk-block stk-e1694fe\" data-block-id=\"e1694fe\"><style>.stk-e1694fe .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child, .stk-e1694fe .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g, path, rect, polygon, ellipse){fill:#ff6900 !important;}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-e1694fe\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-e-1694-fe-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-e-1694-fe-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M569.517 440.013C587.975 472.007 564.806 512 527.94 512H48.054c-36.937 0-59.999-40.055-41.577-71.987L246.423 23.985c18.467-32.009 64.72-31.951 83.154 0l239.94 416.028zM288 354c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading aligncenter stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-b5a4a77\" id=\"strong-strong-strong-la-importancia-del-ajuste-del-enfoque-del-laser-strong-strong-strong-br-es-importante-strong-recalcar-que-cuanto-mas-pequeno-sea-el-foco-mayor-sera-la-precision-y-mejor-el-resultado-strong-br-por-otro-lado-recordar-que-strong-imperativo-reajustar-el-enfoque-strong-strong-cada-vez-que-se-graben-objetos-de-diferentes-alturas-o-incluso-de-diferentes-materiales-strong-br-un-enfoque-impreciso-puede-llevar-a-grabados-fallidos-o-de-muy-baja-calidad\" data-block-id=\"b5a4a77\"><p class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">On machines like the QIDI Q2 where the enclosure is designed to maintain interior temperature, <strong>care must be taken when working with temperature-sensitive materials like PLA<\/strong>.<br>In these cases <strong>the top cover must be opened when printing these types of filaments<\/strong>.

Once this modification is made, the cutter will no longer function along with the QIDI Box. <br>QIDI recommends keeping the original settings unless a specific part requires using the full available volume.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited.png\" alt=\"Sistema de extrusi\u00f3n directo dual\" class=\"wp-image-41173\" title=\"- -\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited.png 1600w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited-450x253.png 450w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-edited-780x439.png 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we mentioned, the <strong>QIDI Q2<\/strong> is a CoreXY machine that <strong>features linear guides on the X-axis<\/strong>.

An important note that the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.qidi3d.com\/en\/Q2\/tpu-printing-q2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">wiki<\/a> suggests manually pressing the cutter before retracting the filament and disabling auto-cut in the <code>gcode_macro.cfg<\/code> file before the leveling process to avoid interruptions.

In the end we only used it for occasional monitoring when away from the workshop, preferring Fluidd management from the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">QIDI Q2&#8230; DIY improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Q2 runs Klipper with QIDI&#8217;s own interface on its screen and Fluidd for browser-based management. For advanced users already familiar with Klipper, having full access to the configuration, customizable macros and the ability to tune the machine beyond what the slicer allows is a very positive feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend keeping these two sources\/repositories handy: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/bluedrool\/Qidi-Q2-tuning-tweaks-and-mods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">bluedrool\/Qidi-Q2-tuning-tweaks-and-mods<\/a>, focused on motor calibration and general adjustments that improve QIDI&#8217;s implementation, and the community wiki <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/qidi-community\/q2-wiki\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">qidi-community\/q2-wiki<\/a>, with solutions to known issues, software installation guides and advanced configurations. We highlight some of them that may be interesting to get the most out of your machine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TMC Autotune:<\/strong> ajuste autom\u00e1tico de los controladores TMC para optimizar el par motor y reducir ruido y temperatura de los motores paso a paso. La diferencia en ruido es perceptible aunque en nuestras pruebas tampoco acaba de convencernos por encontrar ciertos problemas al activarlo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thermal monitoring in Fluidd:<\/strong> add the host CPU and hotend board temperature sensors to the interface. With 512 MB of RAM and complex macros during long high-temperature prints, having this data visible is useful for better machine monitoring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bed-lower macro at end of print:<\/strong> automatically lowers the bed to the bottom when a print finishes, making it easier to remove large parts without having to reach in from the top. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Configuration backup before firmware update:<\/strong> official QIDI updates can desync the Z-axis in some cases. The repository includes the backup procedure for <code>.cfg<\/code> files before updating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bed tramming with Nylok nuts:<\/strong> the factory leveling nuts tend to loosen with use due to temperature. A popular mod is replacing them with Nylok nuts and adding <code>[screws_tilt_adjust]<\/code> to <code>printer.cfg<\/code> (with the four bed point coordinates documented in the wiki), which allows improving leveling by running <code>SCREWS_TILT_CALCULATE<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Z-homing point randomization:<\/strong> since the QIDI Q2 uses the nozzle as leveling and homing sensor, repeated probing at the same point can leave marks or even damage the PEI sheet over time. The community wiki documents a <code>[homing_override]<\/code> macro that randomly varies the probing point \u00b110 mm from the bed center each cycle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>KlipperScreen as display alternative:<\/strong> for those who prefer the Klipper interface directly on the printer&#8217;s touchscreen, the repository wiki documents the complete installation process on the Q2, including GoodixTouch touchscreen configuration and the systemd service. Installation takes about 30 minutes and a revert procedure is also documented in case you want to go back to the original software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LED control macros<\/strong>: the official wiki documents the use of <code>SET_PIN PIN=caselight VALUE=1<\/code> and <code>VALUE=0<\/code> to automate turning lights on and off at the start and end of each print. A small detail but one that makes visual monitoring more convenient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>QIDI Q2 runs a proprietary Klipper fork maintained by QIDI<\/strong>. This creates a <strong>direct dependency on the manufacturer: if QIDI stops updating its fork<\/strong>, users are left with an installation that receives no Klipper improvements, making it progressively harder to maintain and potentially incompatible with third-party plugins or tools. This is not a problem exclusive to QIDI. It is the usual pattern for any brand that distributes a modified version of open-source software without committing to keep pace with the original community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/MisterSheikh\/Qidi_Q2_Mainline_Klipper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">MisterSheikh\/Qidi_Q2_Mainline_Klipper<\/a> repository is a project that addresses this. The author had to solve many key issues to make it possible: USB usage of the GD32F425 MCU (an STM32F407 clone with incompatibilities in Klipper&#8217;s USB driver) and the CS1237 chip driver that manages the hotend load cell. Thanks to their work, <strong>the QIDI Q2 can run official Klipper, Moonraker and your frontend of choice, with access to all future updates without depending on QIDI<\/strong>. However, we remind you that <strong>this process may require certain tools and a minimum level of knowledge<\/strong>&#8230; before embarking on it we advise you to prepare well, as <strong>these changes can void the manufacturer&#8217;s warranty and even damage your machine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final verdict on the QIDI Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The QIDI Q2 delivers where it matters, given this machine&#8217;s focus. The <strong>65\u00b0C active heated chamber and 370\u00b0C hotend are key advantages for working with technical materials<\/strong>. If that is what you are looking for, the Q2 is among the most capable options in this price range. ABS, ASA, Nylon-CF and PC with results that on other machines in this range require much more work \u2014 or simply cannot be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-1024x771.png\" alt=\"Accesorios opcionales recomendados\" class=\"wp-image-41299\" title=\"- -\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-1024x771.png 1024w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-768x578.png 768w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-1536x1156.png 1536w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-280x210.png 280w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-450x339.png 450w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-780x587.png 780w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36-1600x1204.png 1600w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-36.png 1711w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a note for QIDI Q1 users, one of the most striking \u2014 and least expected \u2014 changes is in the processor. <strong>The Q1 Pro used a Cortex-A53 at 1.5GHz with 1GB RAM. The Q2 steps down to a Cortex-A35 at 1.1GHz with 512MB RAM<\/strong>. Keeping in mind that Klipper is the firmware, this reduction could in some cases affect complex macros and interface performance when multiple processes are running simultaneously. Fortunately, the community already has ways to optimize the Linux environment to compensate and keep the system performing optimally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In return, the <strong>QIDI Q2 gains in build volume and improves its kinematics<\/strong>. <strong>Heated chamber thermal management is more stable at 65\u00b0C<\/strong> than on the Q1. The <strong>leveling system evolved to an integrated load cell in the hotend<\/strong> (nozzle as sensor), eliminating the dependency on an external probe and improving precision. The Q1 Pro included a filament tangle sensor as standard. On the Q2 this function is only available when the QIDI Box accessory is connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39-999x1024.png\" alt=\"Resumen final - Valoraci\u00f3n completa\" class=\"wp-image-41305\" title=\"- -\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39-999x1024.png 999w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39-768x787.png 768w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39-450x461.png 450w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39-780x799.png 780w, https:\/\/3dwork.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-39.png 1257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although <strong>QIDI machines have historically not been for beginners, the Q2 continues to improve in that respect,<\/strong> while <strong>its technical focus remains aimed at demanding users with some experience<\/strong>. Using Klipper, opening the top cover to print certain filaments without jams, initial calibration and profile tuning: all of this requires the user to put in some effort. For <strong>the maker with a technical background who wants engineering-level capabilities without an industrial price, the QIDI Q2 is a hard option to beat<\/strong>. If the budget is tighter, the Q2C is an alternative from the same family with identical kinematics and hotend, but without a heated chamber or integrated filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-box stk-block-icon-box stk-block stk-79a3cc6\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"79a3cc6\"><style>.stk-79a3cc6 {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;}.stk-79a3cc6-container{background-color:#fff6f0 !important;}.stk-79a3cc6-container:before{background-color:#fff6f0 !important;}.stk-79a3cc6 .stk-block-icon-box__content{padding-top:16px !important;padding-right:16px !important;padding-bottom:16px !important;padding-left:16px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-block-icon-box__content stk-container stk-79a3cc6-container stk-hover-parent\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-29a585b\" data-block-id=\"29a585b\"><style>.stk-29a585b {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon has-text-align-left stk-block stk-8a30750\" data-block-id=\"8a30750\"><style>.stk-8a30750 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child, .stk-8a30750 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g, path, rect, polygon, ellipse){fill:#ff6900 !important;}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-8a30750\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-8-a-30750-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-8-a-30750-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M569.517 440.013C587.975 472.007 564.806 512 527.94 512H48.054c-36.937 0-59.999-40.055-41.577-71.987L246.423 23.985c18.467-32.009 64.72-31.951 83.154 0l239.94 416.028zM288 354c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-8b6ceee\" id=\"strong-strong-strong-sobre-nuestra-metodologia-de-review-de-productos-strong-strong-strong\" data-block-id=\"8b6ceee\"><p class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong><strong><strong>ABOUT OUR PRODUCT REVIEW METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0bc9426\" data-block-id=\"0bc9426\"><style>.stk-0bc9426 {border-top-left-radius:0px !important;border-top-right-radius:0px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:0px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">This <strong>QIDI Q2 review was conducted with a machine provided by QIDI<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-b4ca971\" data-block-id=\"b4ca971\"><style>.stk-b4ca971 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong><strong><strong>QIDI provided the printer without influencing the content in any way.

If you make intensive use of complex Klipper macros, the Q2&#8217;s less powerful processor is a factor to consider. The Q1 Pro&#8217;s built-in tangle sensor is also lost without the QIDI Box. If you are deciding between Q2 and Q2C: the key difference is the active heated chamber (65\u00b0C on the Q2, absent on the Q2C) and the integrated filter. For frequent ABS, ASA, Nylon and PC use the Q2 justifies its price; for mainly PLA and PETG, the Q2C is equally capable.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-95dbef90 \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"uagb-question\"><strong>Can I print PLA with the QIDI Q2?<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>Yes, but you need to open the top cover.
