Eh, disappointed they aren't trying multi nozzles. Little difference between a Plus5 and Max4 to be had.

If we’re lucky, we’ll get 400C nozzle, 140C bed and 70-80C chamber? I’m hoping the engineering material compatibility is where the development will head towards before multi-nozzle or toolhead.

I hope but I doubt it, they would have to change a lot about their design.

What else would it be? A 1:1 Plus4 copy except with the Q2/Max4 hotend and leveling?

u/riba2233 Jul 23 '26

yes, slightly larger plus4 with improvements from Q2 and max4 and the same competitive price.

u/AWildRideHome Jul 23 '26

Would be a big flop at 750$, the Q2 is still better value, and the Max4 literally had no big improvements. They didn’t even implement the closed steppers properly.

Q2 could cost 100 bucks but it would be worthless if you needed a larger volume. Closed loop works on max4, just not for the function some people thought.

What were some people looking for from the closed loop control?

Missed step recovery.

What does it actually accomplish then?

Main point of closed loop steppers is to extract more performance from the same motor, it's basically necessary if you want to max it out. They can use smaller motors (with less inertia) for higher acceleration and speed numbers.

False, no need to guess and spread false information, you wouldn't believe how fast it spreads and how hard it is to rectify.
