New $449 QIDI Q2: First Look & First Problems
[Go]
The brand new QIDI Q2 is here — an entry-level CoreXY 3D printer with multicolor support and a price point starting at just $449. But does it deliver? In this first look, I walk you through the features, look at a PET-CF print, and share the first problems I ran into with the QIDI Box MMU and filament loading. This compact enclosed CoreXY has high-temp capability (370°C hotend, 120°C bed, 65°C heated chamber), a Klipper-based interface in QIDI Studio, WiFi/Ethernet connectivity, and a 4-port heated MMU designed for multicolor printing. Sounds great on paper — but user experience is key, and I hit some challenges with PTFE tube routing that beginners might struggle with. In this video you’ll see: • Full walkaround of the QIDI Q2 • First multi-filament print in PET-CF with supports • Print quality results (spoiler: absolutely gorgeous surface finish) • The real issues I ran into with the QIDI Box and what needs to be fixed • Who this printer is for (and who it’s not for) If you’re curious about affordable multicolor CoreXY printers in 2025, this one is worth a close look.
