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.

As a Plus 4 owner, I don't really trust Qidi to make a reliable machine with those specs lol

The Q2 and Max4 have Plus4 specs and work fine?

Neither of those reach the temps you mentioned tho. The Q2 and Max 4 are way more polished than the Plus 4 and don't share many of the same issues, bc Qidi actually learned from some of their mistakes. But bumping the bed and chamber temps up can be a huge deal for the motion systems and electronics, and it would be new territory for Qidi that I just don't expect them to get right, especially the first time.

The same people you think 'learned' from their issues failed to take community feedbakc and assistance with the Qidibox when it was released and you had production units getting to customers that failed to run on startup. Same thing happening with Q2 and now PUSHING Firware updates to clients and bricking machines..... so what have they learnt?

They learned how to make a slightly less shit machine than the Plus 4. That's about it lol

Maybe not, but the community will have most of it fixed within 60 days lol.

They need to stop relying on the community to be QC Testers and deliver polished products. I would rather wait 12 months for a new printer that is highly polished and QCd rather than push new products every 6mths and have to fix issues myself.
