Comment on So, did a new printer drop? LOL
HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoBy the way, what is a good printer that needs little to no maintenance and can continuously print multiple parts for days (Self leveling, spaghetti sensing, etc.)?

The Qidi Q2 has built-in spaghetti detection (and print failure detection in general), auto leveling, bed mesh compensation, etc. It’s not a print farm machine, though, so how you’ll get your parts off the bed and into your finished bucket will require some outboard tools and elbow grease. If it’s mechanicals are anything like my prior X-Max 3 from them I don’t predict it will require any adjustment, maintenance, or parts replacement for many hundreds/thousands of hours of runtime. I guess eventually you’ll need a nozzle at minimum, and you might want to lubricate the linear guides on the gantries every now and again.
It’s also compatible with their “Qidi box” filament changer doohickey if that sort of thing is important to you.
