The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple, lightweight and effective, all characteristics that are desirable in a 3D printer.
QIDI Tech 1 prints with ABS, PLA, PETG, HIPS and other materials.
The Bowden extruder comes with a series of turbofans for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.
