I haven’t used the Qidi Q1 Pro before, but what I will add is that I have the A1 and it works quite well. The Bambu Lab restriction on third-party access can be mitigated by using LAN mode + Tailscale. It printe very fast, and AMS works well, and I’m pretty happy with it.
That being said, the Qidi Q1 Pro does seem like an excellent value and I would encourage you to check out more reviews of it, seems like a crazy good value on paper.

Yeah Im pretty happy with my A1 mini myself, but moving from a bed slinger to a core xy I think will be a nice change on some of the bigger or taller prints as well as the bigger build volume which yes, doesnt quite match the A1’s 256^3, but its really not much smaller (245x245x240).
Looking at the reviews and price it really does seem to be the sweet spot for stepping up my 3d printing game. Ive been watching reviews for a good chunk of the last couple days, trying to find as many as I can that are more recent than 11 months ago when everyone was reviewing machines they just got and instead reviewing machines theyve actually put through the paces.

yeah, the Q1 Pro looks like a banger value as an affordable enclosed CoreXY printer
