Qidi Q2C

Mid-range

The Q2 with the chamber heater removed, which makes it the cheapest enclosed CoreXY carrying a 370 °C nozzle. For PLA, PETG and TPU behind walls, in a room where an open frame would be a nuisance, it does the job for mid-range money.

The missing chamber heater is the whole story: ABS and nylon warp on large flat parts, and the 370 °C nozzle is a ceiling the machine cannot reach in practice. There is no camera, no filtration, spares ship from overseas, and the firmware is still maturing in public.

Qidi Q2C

Best at: An enclosure and a high-temperature nozzle for mid-range money.
