|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | QIDI | Voron Design |
| Class | IDEX | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | QIDI Tech i-Fast, also written iFast and "I-Fast"[1][2] | Voron Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Not published on the listings checked (Aug 2026)[1][2] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $1,899.00 at Top 3D Shop, listed as discontinued with a 5-10 business-day lead time, checked Aug 2026. 3DJake no longer sells it[2][1] | $1,274.99 for the LDO kit at Fabreeko, on pre-order with a mid-to-late September ship estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live product feed shows the Trident kit at $1,199.99 and unavailable, so the figure depends on which variant is selected[3][4] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Ships with two interchangeable dual-extruder assemblies — a standard dual head and a high-temperature dual head rated to 350 °C. Specifications quoted for one head do not apply to the other. Not to be confused with QIDI's i-Mate or the X-CF Pro[2][1] | Two size variants on the LDO kit: Rev D 250 mm and Rev D+ 300 mm. Distinguished from the Voron 2.4 by the Z system: Trident has a fixed gantry with three Z motors lifting the bed, while the 2.4 lifts the gantry on four belted Z motors. Colour options black, space grey, blue[3][5] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Discontinued; QIDI's current line is the Q, Plus and Max series[2][6] | Not documented |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 330 x 250 x 320 mm advertised[1][2] | 250 x 250 x 250 mm or 300 x 300 x 300 mm depending on variant. Sortable value is the 300 mm kit[3] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 710 x 510 x 670 mm[2] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 33 kg net[2] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Fully assembled enclosed metal-frame machine[1] | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed with a heated chamber[1][2] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Dual independent extruders in an enclosed Cartesian gantry[1][2] | CoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[3] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Not documented | Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[3] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | LDO Leviathan board: 5 x TMC2209 plus 2 x TMC5160 HV-capable drivers[3] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 30-150 mm/s print speed range (manufacturer figure — a working range, not a peak marketing number)[2] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct-drive, two extruders. MK10-style nozzle[1][2] | Bondtech Integrated Drive Gear Assembly (IGDA) with a Clockwork 2 motor[3] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | E3D Revo High Flow with a 60 W heater[3] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 350 °C on the high-temperature extruder assembly[1][2] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | Not documented | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[3] |
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | 0.4 mm nozzle diameter[2] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Not documented | LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[3] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Not documented | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts also included in the kit[3] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | Not documented | LDO Leviathan control board; Nitehawk SB USB toolhead board with an integrated accelerometer[3] |
| Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto) | 110-220 V[2] | Not documented |
| Total rated power draw | 700 W rated[2] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Not documented | Klipper[3] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi, LAN, USB flash drive[1][2] | Not documented |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED chamber lighting included[3] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Self-assembly kit[3] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | Carbon fibre, nylon, PETG, TPU, PC, ABS, PLA[2] | Not documented |
Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
