It features a build volume of 245 x 245 x 245 mm and is constructed with a durable all-metal frame. The printer operates on [CoreXY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-p1p) kinematics and includes a dual Z-axis with four linear rails for enhanced precision. It is equipped with automatic bed leveling, a heated chamber that can reach up to 60°C, and a hot end capable of heating up to 350°C. This allows the Q1 Pro to work with a variety of materials, including ABS, PA-CF, and ABS-FR. QIDI Technology has priced the Q1 Pro competitively at $629. This price includes the printer’s advanced features such as the actively heated chamber, which are typically found in higher-priced models. The Q1 Pro is available for purchase on QIDI’s official website, making it an accessible option for those interested in 3D printing.
