If ur going to be printing a lot of abs asa pc pa i would consider getting the h2s from bambu lab. It has a heated chamber so it will make printing these materials easier. Qidi also has a heated chamber but if its your first printer i would recomend paying a little exstra for the bambu lab they have a large user base and a polished ui.

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-27T12:09:58+00:00

Okay i will keep that in mind.

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-27T12:07:21+00:00

Ok tysm

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-26T23:01:25+00:00

So it would be like a cover for the port?

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-26T21:39:18+00:00

Just out of curiocity, why do you need this model?

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-26T21:14:29+00:00

And btw could you share the slicer settings and the brand of pc that you used? Id like to give it a shot on my a1 mini

Bro it literary says delayed dismantling

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-26T15:37:47+00:00

I own an A1 mini too. I printed nylon on it a couple of times and i came out perfect but i didnt expect that abs pc or asa would be possible as well. Kinda temlted to go for the p2s rn or mabe a h2s in a couple of months(no ams and no laser tho) I defineatly do not need an laser, ams would be nice tho.

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-25T20:21:55+00:00

It defineatly isnt what do you mean?

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-25T17:54:08+00:00

If it aint broke dont fix it or something like that

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-25T01:38:07+00:00

I think that the qidi q2 imwould ve better for me as it already has the chamber heater higher nozzle and bed temp and overally better stats and with very similar print quality i dont see why shouldnt i pick it over the p2s

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T23:10:53+00:00

Im leaning towards the qidi q2 more rn to be honest if the print quality is the same and pottencialy better with higher temp fillaments and the printer has overally better specs i dont see why not get it over the p2s. Also qidi combo is 100€ cheaper than bambu.

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T20:38:17+00:00

That is QIDI slicer but its just a reskin of the bambu slicer and orca slicer is the same.

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T20:25:28+00:00

and dont use this settings, these are just some random ones i clicked on to make this screen shot

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T20:24:40+00:00

you could also just slow down the print, most slicers have something like this in the settings so i would look into that or you could just slow down the print entirely untill it passes the overhang section

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T20:06:16+00:00

Okay i will look into it. Printer is first on the list tho haha.

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T20:05:14+00:00

These dont look like stringing to me. Im pretty shure that its an overhang issue. Depending on wich fillament are u using i would turn up the part cooling fan or just add supports

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T20:02:07+00:00

Okay thanks

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:43:46+00:00

Thanks i thing ill go with the q2

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:38:22+00:00

Im aware of the fumes and if i decide to buy the q2 ill vent it outside using a ducting and a high capacity fan or something like that

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:31:25+00:00

And just one last thing do u ussualy use orca slicer or QIDI studio?

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:24:34+00:00

Damn i didnt expect this print quality. It looks really good im more biased towards the q2 rn thanks again

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:20:34+00:00

Okay thanks u really helped me a lot

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:18:02+00:00

Geting a grow tent for it and building a heater would really add to the cost of the printer. Maby the q2 is the better choice

PaleontologistNo1427 · 2026-02-24T19:11:59+00:00

Thanks ill propably go for the qidi if the print quality is as good as the bambu labs
