|---|---|---|
| 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 Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[2] |
| 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][3] | 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][3] | $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[2][4] |
| 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][3] | 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[2][5] |
| Market position: superseded?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][3] | 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][6] | 250 x 250 x 250 mm or 300 x 300 x 300 mm depending on variant. Sortable value is the 300 mm kit[2] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 477 x 467 x 489 mm machine dimensions (QIDI)[1][6] | Not documented |
| Net weight (kg) | 17 kg net, 20.3 kg gross (QIDI). 3DJake lists the 20.3 kg figure as gross weight[1][6] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Metal CoreXY motion frame with panelled enclosure; QIDI publishes no frame-material breakdown for this model[1] | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[2] |
| 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][6] | Not documented |
| 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][6] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY[6] | CoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[2] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | 10 mm linear steel rods with automatically tensioned belt (manufacturer description)[6] | Not documented |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Independent dual Z lead-screw motors[6] | Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[2] |
| 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[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][6] | Not documented |
| Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²) | <=20,000 mm/s2 (manufacturer claim)[1][6] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Direct-drive extruder with hardened steel gears[1][6] | Bondtech Integrated Drive Gear Assembly (IGDA) with a Clockwork 2 motor[2] |
| 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][6] | E3D Revo High Flow with a 60 W heater[2] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | <=350 °C claimed. No firmware max_temp verified for this model[1][6] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | Not documented | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[2] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | <=120 °C claimed. No firmware limit verified for this model[1][6] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Double-sided textured PEI plate on an aluminium substrate bed[1][6] | LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[2] |
| 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 also included in the kit[2] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament run-out sensor fitted; QIDI also lists filament tangle detection without describing the mechanism[6] | Not documented |
| Cooling & Air Handling | ||
| Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting design | Auxiliary part-cooling fan plus a chamber circulation fan (fan count and duct design not published)[6] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||

| Total rated power draw | 350 W plus 300 W for chamber heating (rated)[1][6] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper, running on a 64-bit processor per QIDI. Exact fork and version not published on the product page[1] | Klipper[2] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 4.3-inch touchscreen, 272 x 480[1][6] | 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][6] | Not documented |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED chamber lighting included[2] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Ships fully assembled[1] | Self-assembly kit[2] |
| Power-Loss & Interruption Recovery | ||
| Power-loss recovery: mechanism (how is state saved? capacitor / eeprom / file on shutdown?) | Power-loss recovery listed as a feature; mechanism not published[6] | Not documented |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | QIDI lists compatibility with common filaments; storage 32 GB eMMC. No per-material list published on the current page beyond the general claim[1] | Not documented |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 1-year coverage, 14-day no-reason return, lifetime tech guidance (QIDI's standard terms as shown on its store)[7] | 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.
