First impressions are great. Seems way quieter than Q2!
Comes with actual 1GbE not 100MbE of Q2.
Way less rattling during input shaping of both of my Q2, much better and higher quality fit and finish.
Screen has much better contrast.
After a few long night and pulling my hair out getting to work out got to get all the flags working (Copy design over to the 3D print). It's finally done!
​
All printed on 2x Q2s with Boxes and the few colours of filament I've had that I could make work for flags. Some have been slightly simplified to improve printability while trying to retain key distinguishing features.
​
Designed to fit build volume of Q2 and use 64pcs 10x3mm magnets.

Its not even on wiki yet!
Let's see what it brings

Running the update now on one of my printers let's see what happens!
A new baby is always a fun adventure!
It's also all the more reason to print more things!
​
PIC 1/12 I've shown her video of YouTuber doing baby Emergency Nappy kits and she was sold! It was great fun picking the colours for the project which she left up to me. The nappy caddy has been my first true hands off multicolour print and even though it looks like its just 3 colours, I've used all 4! Annoyingly the colours on spool made it looks like they won't be same colours which didn't work out but that's my fault for using 2 Gold filaments in 1 print!
​
PIC 2 Before the baby was was even born the printing adventure began, we've been lucky enough to have a local company that does 3D ultrasound scans so we've signed up and kindly asked them if they can export the files and what formats they can do. Low and behold they said they could do 3mf and stl so I knew I was onto something there! Immediately asked for them and to my surprise I could just load them into the slicer and after playing around with some colour changes out came our baby early!
​
PIC 3/4 Currently I'm in progress of making a backlit WLED name for his nursery, about 20 hours of print time so far and its all coming together! The stars are multi-filament with translucent PLA accents so LEDs will (hopefully) shine through from inside. So glad I got the Box as it would be impossible without it.
​
PIC 5 Keeping it clean! This was a quick and dirty (pun intended haha) design to contain the microfiber cloths and keep them together with disinfectant spray. This one I've not yet finalised but adding lettering in slicer was handy to label the contents, even if its not multi-colour (yet).
​
PIC 6/7/8/9 WE LOST THE BOTTLE HOLDER! Surprisingly the company we got the pram from sends a free one with the pram but doesn't sell them if you lose it. So I've opened up Fusion360 and few prototypes later we've got a new bottle holder for the pram.
​
​
PIC 10/11 Toddler seat attachment. One of the reasons we got the pram we got was for the Toddler front seat however the dust cover that comes with the handlebar attachment was nearly impossible to remove so simple trip to world of CAD later I've had a better dust cover.
​
All throughout my Q2 has been flawless and it let me focus on getting the work done and look after the baby too. Pleasure to work with much less work than any of my other printers!
