QiDi Box Multifilament System for the Q2 Series

QIDI Box Multi-Filament System for the Q2 Series

The QIDI Box for the Q2 Series is a multi-filament system with four independent channels, designed for multicolour printing and use with different materials. It supports 1.75 mm filament, automatic spool switching, drying at up to 65°C during printing, temperature and humidity monitoring, and NFC recognition of compatible QIDI filaments. One QIDI Box holds four spools. With up to four units connected, the system can handle up to 16 colours or materials for more complex projects with fewer manual filament changes.

Four independent channels and dual gearboxes

The feed system uses dual hardened-steel gearboxes and four separate 42-type stepper motors, one for each channel. It is designed for common filaments as well as more demanding carbon- or glass-fibre-reinforced composite materials. Supported filaments include PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PET, PA, PC, PVA and BVOH (when dried), PP, POM, HIPS, TPU 64D, and selected CF and GF materials.

Drying up to 65°C and humidity control

The QIDI Box can dry filament while printing, at a maximum temperature of 65°C. Its airtight storage compartment, with provision for desiccant, helps reduce the effects of moisture on filament, particularly hygroscopic materials. Temperature and humidity are monitored in real time, with readings available on the device screen and in QIDI Studio software.

Automatic spool change and issue detection

When the filament in use runs out, automatic filament refilling allows the printer to switch to a spare spool. This helps reduce interruptions during long prints and makes more efficient use of the remaining filament. The system also detects filament shortages, tangles and jams to help maintain reliable feeding.

NFC and support materials

NFC enables automatic recognition of compatible QIDI filaments and applies their settings without manual parameter entry. The multi-material system can also use a separate support filament, including materials designed to snap off easily or dissolve, helping with models that have complex geometries. PVA and BVOH must be properly dried before use.

Compatibility and safety

Not every 1.75 mm filament is compatible with the QIDI Box. Unsupported materials include TPE, standard TPU, TPU 95A, QIDI PAHT-CF, damp PVA and BVOH, selected Silk filaments (including PLA Silk), glow-in-the-dark PLA, and materials that are excessively stiff or flexible. A smart PTC fuse and two temperature sensors monitor operating conditions and automatically cut power if an abnormal temperature is detected.
