| Property | QIDI Q1 ProCOREXY | 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 Q1 Pro, listed by QIDI as "Q1 Pro 3D Printer". QIDI traded as Qidi Tech until end-2024[1] | 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"[2][3] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Not stated on QIDI's own product page; the page now carries a discontinuation notice instead of a launch date (checked Aug 2026)[1][4] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $499.00 on both qidi3d.com and us.qidi3d.com, checked Aug 2026 — but the listing is marked Sold Out and the page states "This model has been discontinued". qidi3d.com shows it against a $599.00 regular price; the US store shows compare-at $499.00[1][4] | $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[2][5][6] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Succeeded by the QIDI Q2, which QIDI's own comparison on the Q1 Pro page distinguishes as 270x270x256 mm (vs 245x245x240), 370 °C hotend (vs 350 °C) and 65 °C chamber (vs 60 °C). Do not read Q2 figures onto the Q1 Pro[1][4] | 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[2][3][6][7] |
| Market position: superseded? successor announced? | Discontinued and out of production; QIDI states spare parts and support for existing owners remain available. Replaced by the Q2[1][4] | Not documented |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 245 x 245 x 240 mm advertised (QIDI). No independently measured usable envelope found[1][8] | 300 x 300 x 300 mm or 350 x 350 x 350 mm. Sortable value is the 350 mm kit[2][3][6] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 477 x 467 x 489 mm machine dimensions (QIDI)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 17 kg net, 20.3 kg gross (QIDI). 3DJake lists the 20.3 kg figure as gross weight[1][8] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Metal CoreXY motion frame with panelled enclosure; QIDI publishes no frame-material breakdown for this model[1] | Blind-joint aluminium-extrusion frame with a complete panel set; stainless-steel linear rails throughout[3][6] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed with independent chamber heating to 60 °C; QIDI does not publish the panel materials for this model[1][8] | Enclosed by the supplied panel set. A Nevermore Micro V5 internal circulation filter is included in the LDO kit[6] |
| Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred) | 60 °C, actively heated (manufacturer claim — this is a heater setpoint, not a measured passive figure)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[8] | CoreXY on linear rails, with a belted flying gantry on four Z motors[3][2] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | 10 mm linear steel rods with automatically tensioned belt (manufacturer description)[8] | Not documented |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Independent dual Z lead-screw motors[8] | 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[2] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max print speed (claimed, mm/s) | 600 mm/s, worded by QIDI as maximum tool-head speed (manufacturer claim, not a sustained printing speed)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | <=20,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[1][8] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct-drive extruder with hardened steel gears[1][8] | Clockwork 2 with a Bondtech BMG / Integrated Drive Gear Assembly, in a Stealthburner toolhead[2][3][6] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Tri-metal hotend with a ceramic heater plate and a bimetal nozzle, 0.4 mm standard[1][8] | 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[2][3][6] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=350 °C claimed. No firmware max_temp verified for this model[1][8] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | Not documented | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater)[2] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | <=120 °C claimed. No firmware limit verified for this model[1][8] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided textured PEI plate on an aluminium substrate bed[1][8] | Cast 5083 aluminium plate with a magnetic base and a powder-coated PEI sheet; LDO silicone bed heater with edge-to-edge heating[3][2][6] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Automatic levelling; QIDI markets it as "hands-free automatic levelling" with dual sensors, without naming the probe technology[1] | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts included. Voron Tap is available as an add-on rather than standard[2][3] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||

| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Wi-Fi 6 (QIDI states "150M 2.4G") and USB 2.0. No Ethernet listed for this model[1][8] | Not documented |
| Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps) | Built-in camera, up to 1080p, timelapse supported. Framerate not published[1][8] | Not documented |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED strips included[2][6] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Ships fully assembled[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[6] |

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.
