| Property | QIDI Plus4COREXY | Voron 2.4COREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | QIDI | Voron Design |
| Class | COREXY | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | QIDI Plus4, sold as "Plus4 3D Printer". QIDI's own wiki files it under X-Plus4[1][2] | Voron 2.4, current revision R2, kits shipping as Rev D and Rev D+. Sold as "Voron 2.4 R2 (Rev D+) 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[3][4] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Announced September 2024; QIDI ran launch promotional pricing in the week of 20-27 September 2024 (secondary reporting, not a QIDI press release)[5] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $649.00 on us.qidi3d.com for the Plus4 + 1 filament variant against a $799.00 compare-at price; $699.00 on qidi3d.com against $799.00. Checked Aug 2026[1][2] | $1,399.99 for the LDO Rev D+ kit at Fabreeko (300 mm and 350 mm are the same price), on pre-order with a mid-September estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live feed shows the base 2.4 kit listing at $1,299.99 and available. 3DJake lists an LDO 350 RevD kit but will not ship to the US[3][6][7] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Two purchasable variants: Plus4 + Filament x1 at $649 and Plus4 Combo + Filament x1 at $799 (Combo adds the QIDI Box multi-material unit). Distinct from the older X-Plus 3 (280x280x270, 350 °C) and from the newer Plus5 (320x320x300)[2][1] | Sizes 250, 300 and 350 mm; LDO ships Rev D and Rev D+. Colours black, space grey, blue. Do not confuse with the Trident: the 2.4 lifts the whole gantry on four belted Z motors, the Trident lifts the bed on three screws. The Rev D+ kit includes a Raspberry Pi 4B; the older 3DJake-listed RevD kit explicitly does not include a Pi[3][4][7][8] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Superseded at the top of the large-format line by the Plus5, launched 5 August 2026 with 18% more build volume; Plus4 still listed and in stock Aug 2026[9][10] | Not documented |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 305 x 305 x 280 mm advertised. No independently measured usable envelope found[1][5] | 300 x 300 x 300 mm or 350 x 350 x 350 mm. Sortable value is the 350 mm kit[3][4][7] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 505 x 487 x 550 mm[5] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 32 kg gross (3DJake). QIDI does not publish a net weight on the product page[5] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Enclosed CoreXY chassis with double-layer chamber insulation; QIDI does not publish a frame material breakdown[1] | Blind-joint aluminium-extrusion frame with a complete panel set; stainless-steel linear rails throughout[4][7] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed, double-layer insulated chamber with second-generation active heating to 65 °C[1][5] | Enclosed by the supplied panel set. A Nevermore Micro V5 internal circulation filter is included in the LDO kit[7] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | 65 °C, actively heated by a 400 W heater which QIDI says reaches setpoint in about 8 minutes (manufacturer claim)[1][5] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[5] | CoreXY on linear rails, with a belted flying gantry on four Z motors[4][3] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Dual independent Z motors on 10 mm linear shafts and screws[1] | Not documented |
| 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, ready for 48 V upgrades[3] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 600 mm/s (manufacturer claim, tool-head maximum)[5] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | <=20,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[5] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct drive with hardened steel dual gears, 1.75 mm filament[1][5] | Clockwork 2 with a Bondtech BMG / Integrated Drive Gear Assembly, in a Stealthburner toolhead[3][4][7] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Second-generation 80 W bimetal hotend with a multi-metal composite hardened-tip nozzle; 0.4 mm standard, 0.2/0.5/0.8 mm optional[1][5] | E3D Revo Voron (24 V), all-metal, high-flow variant in the Rev D+ kit, with a 60 W heater; upgradeable to a Phaetus Rapido HF for $9.99[3][4][7] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=370 °C claimed. No firmware max_temp verified for this model[1][5] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | 80 W hotend heater (manufacturer figure)[1] | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater)[3] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | Conflicting manufacturer figures: QIDI's own Plus4 page states a 100 °C bed temperature, 3DJake's spec table states <=120 °C. Not resolved; the lower vendor-published figure is used as the sortable value[1][5] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | 6 mm aluminium-substrate heated bed with a double-sided textured PEI plate[1][5] | Cast 5083 aluminium plate with a magnetic base and a powder-coated PEI sheet; LDO silicone bed heater with edge-to-edge heating[4][3][7] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Full-auto calibration; QIDI markets "hands-free automatic" levelling and does not name the probe technology on the product page[1][5] | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts included. Voron Tap is available as an add-on rather than standard[3][4] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||

Fork details and current release not published on the product page[1] | Klipper, hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4B (included in the Fabreeko Rev D+ kit, not in the older 3DJake RevD kit)[3][4][7] |

| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED strips included[3][7] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | QIDI claims about 10 minutes from unbox to printing[1] | Self-assembly kit; some parts must be printed by the user, and the LDO kit supplies pre-cut, pre-crimped cables and a heat-set insert soldering tip[7] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Power-loss recovery listed; mechanism not published[5] | 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.
