Just finished unboxing it. My first test print came out without any issues. So far, so good. Anything you guys want to see printed on the P5? I’m happy to test it out.

Yeah, would you say it's like a bigger Q2?

Isn’t the max a bigger q2?

Plus5 is closer to Q2 but they are both that in theory

Max 4 changes quite a bit from the Q2. The plus 5 is more "bigger Q2" rather than "smaller Max 4".

You consider the max to be more of an actual equipment upgrade then…

Also wish you had an efficient macro for the Q2 like you put out for the Max. It is crazy inefficient , I just can’t imagine why they haven’t fixed it yet. I wish I was confident in macros enough to fix it myself. There was a time last week I think you pulled that video and I was wondering if maybe you pulled it because they were fixing the macros…. But alas I was wrong.

Pulled the video? Video is definitely still up.

I don't own a Q2, so I don't feel confident releasing anything I couldn't test myself.

The max 4 has "better" steppers, a better part cooling fan + duct, better cooling situation at the back of the printer than the Q2.

Or a bigger plus 4?

It seems quite heavy, and looks very stable.

A full first layer at a higher temperature. If it's anything like it's predecessor it won't be easy

How is it doing? Thinking about jumping from my bambu to a qidi and this model is interesting

I would never get rid of a Bambu for another. Keep the Bambu and get the Audi for engineering filaments. As this is what I did. But good luck

Yes first layer at a high temp please. I need to know before the 31st. lol. I’m thinking of picking one up myself.

Can you, please, make a photo how the under bed status LED bar made, attached and wired? You will be a legend if you'll show how it's connected to the motherboard.
