- Lets take the Qidi Tech Q1 Pro completely to piece and see what makes it tick.
Also check out my full review, blog review for updates and YT short on unboxing and setup.
The Q1 Pro is a fully enclosed CoreXY FDM printer with active chamber heating, bi-metallic hardened tip nozzle, 245x245x245mm build volume, that can heat up to 120C on the bed and 350C on the nozzle. They claim printing performance up to 600mm/s speed and 20kmm/s² acceleration.

If the PTC heater bothers you too much you can always just replace it with an insulated version. They are just a bit more expensive. If you can see ceramic pieces like in this video it is a live fin version. If instead there are 1 or more thick aluminium bar spacer looking things spaced between the fins then its an insulated version. They come in the same standard sizes like 60mm. They are usually higher quality and sometimes have a built in thermal cutoff switch which is useful just in case the fan dies. Even though the PTC elements are self regulating, you might not want them to get to their uncooled temperature and sit there.
I have used both types in my Vorons and either are really fine, the insulated ones are just better.
PS: Measuring a PTC heater to work out its "wattage" doesn't really work well because their resistance changes as they heat up, which is what makes them self regulating. They are normally sold and speced by their temperature and the "wattage" figure is just approx how much heat you get with the fan supplied. Change the fan speed and the wattage output changes.
Thank you so much for this video. We're taking delivery of this model in just a few days.
Thank you for sharing this. Currently troubleshooting an error with the filament sensor, and I needed some kind of idea of how it functioned. If you have any close up shots of it or an explanation of how it works, that would be helpful. I am hesitant to pull anything apart until after trying my luck with qidi support, but worst case scenario I'll be pulling this thing apart to test the sensor.
What's the distance between the heater's fan and the side panel inside? Is it enough to allow it to "breathe" efficiently?
Is the motherboard the same as the Smart3 minus the Ethernet Chip and connector?
Did you get a decleration of confirmity (CE/UKCA) with the printer?
I'd like to see that if possible.
This stream was very informative.
I also watched the tear down of the creality K1C.
What would you say is the difference between the Q1 and the K1C in terms of the quality of the used parts?
If you watched both, please tell us your opinion.
Is that maker baseboard a skipper 1.0 model?
Are those all nema 17 motors? The xy steppers seem large in the video.
Another question that you will not answer - What are the dimentions of the nozzle?
New firmware became available on the 20th of March.
Alternative usb option, just plug a usb hub into the top usb port.
I am guessing there was nothing on the back of the board or you would have shown it to us.
Definitely too many comments. I wasn't trying to be rude.
Why don't you reply to a single comment here?
The heater is safe no way to touch it directly because of the heater grid. any toaster is more "dangerous"
In the US, all garages have GFCI plugs, plus you can convert any regular plug to GFCI and never get shocked in case of a ftupid mistake.
In Europe, almost all homes have "GFCI" brakers.
Anyway, it is completely safe, safer than any other electric space heater 🤷
This is a complete overreaction
you are absolutely wrong about the heater. you better get used to it, ac chamber heaters are the future.
You shouldn't be touching anything inside the printer when it's powered on, basic safety and I think you are aware of that 🤷♂️
You can touch heating elements inside a stove when it is on... It is dangerous, right ?!... Common sense sometimes just makes sense... I guess 🤷♂️
