Qidi Q1 Pro review

A 60 °C heated chamber and a 350 °C hotend at mid-range money, running open Klipper. The cheapest printer that handles ABS and ASA without excuses.

Best for: ABS, ASA and engineering plastics without spending four figures.

What we like

  • Actively heated chamber at this price
  • Open Klipper, no cloud lock-in
  • Excellent ABS and ASA results

What we don't

  • No multi-material
  • Build volume is modest
  • Slicer is a Bambu Studio fork

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a headline number no printer sustains across a whole part — treat it as a ceiling, not a throughput estimate.
