3d printing The company Qidi Tech has been announcing a new 3D printer for several months and has finally presented it as the Q1 Pro, a closed machine in 250 x 250 mm format capable of printing exotic filaments with ease. The release has some early bird pricing, so you can currently purchase it for $469 on the Qidi Tech website, saving you $140 off the standard retail price. We don’t know how long this deal is valid. So if you are interested, you should purchase it soon.
I’ve had the Q1 Pro for about a week now and while I can’t give you a full review, I can give you my first impressions. As a standard printer, it’s pretty average. It’s fast, which is a good thing, and all the prints I’ve tried so far have been accurate. However, its key selling points are a bimetallic hot end and heated chamber that allow you to print more exotic filaments like PAHT-CF and other carbon fiber-based materials. These upgrades aren’t uncommon, but they’re almost unique for a sub-$500 3D printer.
Printing exotic filaments is an exciting part of 3D printing and can help you create prototypes for products you may design or print more robust, practical prints that you can use around the home or workshop. It is encouraging that prices for 3D printers that can process this type of filament are falling.
