Why buy each?

Qidi Tech Plus4

305ร—305ร—280 mm build volume

One of the largest build volumes in the prosumer enclosed category โ€” 40% more printable area than the Bambu X1C at a lower price point.

Active 65ยฐC chamber heating

The second-generation active heating delivers consistent chamber temperatures for PA, PA-CF, ABS, ASA, and PC with minimal warping across the full build plate.

370ยฐC bimetal hotend

Handles high-performance engineering composites including PA-CF, PET-CF, and PPS-CF without requiring a separate hotend upgrade.

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.
