PSA: Caveat Emptor – What the Salesman Isn't Telling You About the Qidi Q2 The Qidi Q2 is an open-source 3D printer, and that's something sellers aren't always upfront about. The unboxing experience is underwhelming, with instructions that lack the detail needed for a smooth setup. The connection process is particularly frustrating for anyone who isn't highly tech-savvy, and software updates seem to roll out every few hours. The Qidi Q2 is heavily inspired by the Bambu Lab P1S/P1S series — so much so that its software interface closely mirrors the look and feel of Bambu Studio. While the specs are promising on paper (an air filter, a chamber that reportedly reaches 65°C, and an extruder capable of 370°C), the execution falls short. Those high-temperature capabilities were exactly what drew me to this machine for printing exotic filaments, which makes the disappointing setup all the more frustrating. I understand the appeal of escaping Bambu Lab's cloud-dependent ecosystem, but in my opinion, this product shipped before it was ready. Fortunately, I purchased through Amazon, making the return process straightforward. Ordered Friday, returning Monday. I hope this helps anyone considering the Qidi Q2 make a more informed decision. Picture is for reference of a verified purchase, FYI.

All my other printers jam and the bed leveling got better each one I bought but it still sucked. Is this one better at actual being level? we would have ours level but then the nozzle would shoot out and build up onto the plate then start dragging the print along. And it ruined the nozzle, heating element, and the print.
