Consider the following:
I own the k1c and it's been ok reliable for the 6 months I've had it. If you are printing PLA/PETG you will need to keep the door open (and it's breakable glass)
Is it hard to mod to have a fan pumping air in?
I'm here to shill for Qidi again whenever their name comes up. I've owned two, an OG X-Plus and currently an X-Max 3. They've both been rock solid, unpack from the box, and print. My only gripe about the Max 3 is that they are not extending support for their new AMS-esque filament changer doohickey to it, but that wasn't even on the horizon back when I bought it so I guess I can't be mad about that.
Thus far Qidi's machines have been reasonably open source, with readily available parts, and they haven't pulled any lock-in bullshit. You can run your own firmware on them if you like as well, since the controller boards and so forth are commodity parts.
The Q2 is definitely something I’m considering how’s the volume and such?
