Frequently Asked Questions For QIDI Q2C

How much space does the printer require?
The QIDI Q2C has an external size of 402 × 438 × 494 mm. And the shipping dimensions is 480 × 520 × 585 mm.

We recommend leaving additional clearance at the back, sides, and top of the printer. This extra space makes it easier to change filament and ensures proper ventilation and cooling during operation.
Does the Q2C support multi-color printing?
Yes. When paired with the QIDI Box multi-color unit, the Q2C supports multi-material and multi-color printing.
Can I use the Plus4 nozzle on the Q2C? Conversely, can Q2C nozzle be used on Plus4?
Although the nozzle of the Q2/Q2C is similar to the Plus4 nozzle in structure, it is not exactly the same.

They are slightly different in length.

Therefore, to ensure optimal print quality, it is strongly recommended not to use Q2/Q2C nozzle on the Plus4 printer and not use the Plus4 nozzle for Q2/Q2C printers.
How can I connect the printer?
The QIDI Q2C offers flexible connection options:

• QIDI Cloud: Connect to the QIDI cloud server for remote monitoring and control.
• Wi-Fi: Supports both 2.4G networks.
• Ethernet (LAN): Connect via a wired network port for stable remote control within your local network.
• Offline Printing: Use a USB drive to load your files and print completely offline.
Can the Q2C print flexible filaments like TPU?
Yes. The Q2C can print TPU/TPE with a recommended hardness of 95A. For materials softer than 85A, print quality may be affected.
Due to the flexible nature of TPU filaments, there are some operational issues that can arise during feeding and printing. To facilitate TPU printing, we have created a dedicated Wiki guide. Simply follow the instructions in the Wiki to successfully print with TPU filaments:TPU printing guide
Which slicers are compatible with the Q2C?
We recommend using QIDI Studio for the best compatibility and optimized profiles. However, since the QIDI Q2C runs on Klipper firmware, it is also fully compatible with popular third-party slicers such as OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer.

The printer supports multiple file formats, including STL, OBJ, 3MF, and STEP/STP.
What materials can it print with?
The QIDI Q2C supports a wide range of materials, including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PA, PC and PPS-CF and other carbon fiber composite materials. Its 370°C high-temp nozzle ensure reliable printing with both standard and engineering-grade materials, giving you maximum creative freedom.
What advantages does the QIDI Q2C have compared to other 3D printers in the same price range?
The QIDI Q2C features high-speed CoreXY precision,larger print size, a 370°C high-temp nozzle, smart auto-leveling, multi-material printing, and an advanced air filtration system for safer, more reliable, and effortless 3D printing.
What is the maximum print speed?
The QIDI Q2C’s tool head can move at up to 600 mm/s with a maximum acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². In practice, print speeds depend on the material and nozzle flow rate—high-speed PLA and ABS typically print around 300 mm/s. QIDI will also release a high-flow nozzle in the future to support even faster printing, so stay tuned!
