QIDI Q2
The QIDI Q2 is an enclosed FDM CoreXY printer QIDI launched in 2025 from $485. A 270×270×256 mm build, a 370 °C nozzle, a 120 °C bed and an active 65 °C heated chamber let it print not just PLA and PETG but ABS, ASA, nylon and polycarbonate.
Owners most often look up how to update the firmware (it runs Klipper, managed through the QIDI Maker app), whether the Combo with the QIDI Box multi-color add-on is worth it, which nozzle to fit and how to dial in the first layer. Here we collect reviews, known issues and step-by-step guides for the QIDI Q2.
See the printer page QIDI Q2, plus general guides: choosing filament and first-layer setup.
