QIDI Q2 vs Bambu Lab P1S: Enclosed Value Showdown
Both are enclosed CoreXY printers in a similar price range, but they pull in different directions. The QIDI Q2, which replaced the Q1 Pro, pushes engineering materials with a 370°C hotend, a hardened nozzle and a 65°C actively heated chamber; the Bambu P1S leans on a smoother software experience and AMS multicolor.

Quick verdict
Buy the QIDI Q2 if you want to print high-temperature and carbon-fiber materials like PA-CF and PPS-CF: its 370°C hotend, hardened nozzle and active chamber heating go well beyond the P1S, and its 270mm bed is a little larger. Buy the Bambu P1S for the most polished workflow and the most mature multicolor system. Both are enclosed, fast, and good at ABS and ASA.
