Qidi Q1 Pro vs. Qidi Q2
Both printers compared directly. The better value is marked in green, where this can be determined objectively.
The key differences
- The Qidi Q2 has the larger build volume (270 × 270 × 256 mm).
- The Qidi Q2 reaches higher nozzle temperatures (370 °C), which makes it better suited to engineering filaments.
- Multicolour printing is only possible with the Qidi Q2 (optional with QIDI Box (4 colours per box, up to 16 colours with four boxes)).
