The QIDI Q2 is a compact, enclosed CoreXY FDM printer designed to make pro-grade features accessible to beginners and hobbyists. It delivers fast, reliable prints with a 270 × 270 × 256 mm build volume, hands-free auto leveling (nozzle-as-sensor, true zero offset), and a second-generation actively heated chamber up to 65 °C for stronger parts in ABS, PC, and fiber-reinforced filaments. A next-gen hotend reaches ≤ 370 °C, while 3-in-1 air filtration and MET certification support safer home use. Optional QIDI Box adds multi-color/material capability (up to 16 colors with four boxes chained).

Key Highlights

• CoreXY, full-metal motion with linear guide rail on X and custom 1.5GT belts for smoother surfaces and reduced VFA artifacts.
• Hands-free auto leveling via integrated load-cell: the nozzle is the probe for true zero-offset first layers.
• Actively heated chamber (≤ 65 °C) improves layer adhesion and reduces warping on ABS, PC, and glass/carbon-fiber blends.
• High-temperature hotend (≤ 370 °C) with ceramic throat, improved cooling, and a bimetal hardened-steel nozzle.
• High speed, high quality: up to 600 mm/s and ≤ 20,000 mm/s² acceleration with input shaping & smart resonance control.
• Health & safety: 3-in-1 filtration (G3 pre-filter + H12 HEPA + activated carbon) and US MET (NRTL) certification.
• AI camera for print monitoring and spaghetti detection; 1080p timelapse capable.
• Multi-color ready: compatible with QIDI Box for up to 16 materials/colors (chain up to 4 units); 65 °C in-box drying while printing.
• Connectivity & control: 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB; 4.3″ touchscreen; 32 GB eMMC.

What’s New vs. Typical Entry-Level Printers

• Zero-offset nozzle-as-sensor leveling for a more consistent first layer.
• Actively heated chamber—rare at this price—unlocking stronger ABS/PC parts.
• Linear guide + 1.5GT belts reduce ripple lines/VFA for smoother walls.
• AI camera and input shaping for fast, reliable results.

Zero-Offset Precision Leveling Technology

Experience perfect first layers every time with the QIDI Q2's revolutionary leveling system.
