Contemplating getting a K1 or K1C in the nearish future as it looks to be the most cost-effective core-XY platform that allows open-source firmware. All I’ve found are compensated reviews so far so, figured I’d see if anyone on Lemmy has a less biased experience.
Any thoughts on these or suggestions for alternatives. Would like to move away from bed-slingers.
What about QIDI? The new Q1 pro looks so perfect.
I don’t own one - yet. But I have spent a good amount of time reading about users experiences with the brand. They seem to be pretty decent. The company offers good support and works to solve product issues. And users seem to be genuinely positive in their overall comments.
Just from my own research, they seem to be kind of a hidden gem that no one notices. I think it wouldn’t be wasted time for you to take a closer look them. I just need to talk myself into believing the carbon fiber rods on the X-Smart3 are fine. As always: YMMV
Depending on when I can justify the purchase, that one does indeed look like a good contender. Will have to look into it more. Thank you!
I hadn’t heard of it and just briefly browsed their page and I notice they don’t even mention that it’s CoreXY, which is odd. They really seem to want to highlight that it has dual motors on the Z screws and dual ABL sensors though.
The current price of $469 is pretty good. That’s what I paid for my Sidewinder X2 bed slinger several years ago.
