Qidi Tech Max4

390ร—390ร—340 mm โ€” Qidi's largest build volume

The Max4 offers the largest build volume in Qidi's lineup โ€” enabling large functional parts, architectural models, and production batch runs that exceed Plus4 capacity.

Closed-loop XY motion system

The Max4's closed-loop XY adds positional feedback for improved accuracy at high speeds โ€” a differentiating feature at this price tier that reduces dimensional errors on large prints.

Active 65ยฐC chamber heating at scale

Qidi's proven active chamber heating technology scaled to a 390ร—390 mm bed โ€” critical for consistent ABS, ASA, PA-CF, and PPS-CF results across the full build plate.

Qidi Tech Q2C

Large enclosed build volume at entry price

270ร—270ร—256 mm is larger than the Bambu P2S and X1C at a fraction of the cost. The passive enclosure keeps PLA and PETG prints consistent without needing active heating.

Qidi Box multicolor compatibility

The Q2C works with the Qidi Box multi-filament system โ€” up to 4 units can be chained for 16-color printing, sold separately at $228 per unit.

600 mm/s CoreXY

Same rated top speed as Bambu Lab printers, placing it in the fastest tier of consumer FDM printers.
