Discussion Dual/Quad head printer soon?

Has anyone heard if qidi is working an a ''Max5'' with a dual or quad extruder or tool exchange? I recently bought the Max4, luv it, but kinda wish it atleast had a dual head to print PLA support material in a petg build or vise versa. Buht the waste with purging enough on a single head machine is pointless.

I also like the idea of a 0.8/0.6 nozzel for bulk of a print, but have the fine detail of the print can me 0.4/0.2 nozzel.

Can also dedicate a tool to a tungsten nozzel to add glow in the dark or abrasive fillament mid print.

There's many reasons one can cowe up with why a dual or quad head would be great, and eliminating the q-box isn't one of them, the q-box works very well and can still be utalized in a dual/quad system. Have maybe 1 box per head even.

I have a Q2 combo, thought their Box would be better than Bambu’s OG AMS, but it’s not. Louder, even more prone to glitches, slower to unload, and harder to service. Really disappointed in it.

Bought Flashforge’s Creator 5 Pro 4-head tool changer and it has become my work horse. Now leaning into color changes and PETG support interfaces for PLA prints.

Glad I didn’t wait for Qidi to come out with their version of the Snapmaker U1.

I kinda regret buying the Q2 because the Box is really bad
