| Software notes | The X2D uses Bambu Studio as its official software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also accepts standard G-code from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced features — including automatic calibration and dual-nozzle workflow management — are only fully supported within Bambu Studio. | Running on native Klipper firmware, the machine offers an open and accessible control interface via local network (Fluidd or Mainsail). It is natively compatible with QIDI Slicer (derived from PrusaSlicer/Orca), but easily supports all major third-party slicers. It includes advanced features such as input shaping and automatic calibration to maximize print quality at high speeds without requiring registration to proprietary cloud services. |
The differences that matter
- Max colors: X2D 25 vs Q1 Pro 1 — X2D wins (+2400%)
- Max print speed: X2D 1000 mm/s vs Q1 Pro 600 mm/s — X2D wins (+67%)
- Multi-extruder: X2D yes, Q1 Pro no
- Native Klipper: Q1 Pro yes, X2D no
- Multicolor printing: X2D yes, Q1 Pro no
Which one to choose
Choose Q1 Pro if…
you value native klipper, max nozzle temperature and price.
