I think I would recommend the q1 pro over the x plus 3 since it's a difference in size by about 2 inches but saves a lot of money for the same components with a few upgrades even for leveling and the processor.
Though I really want the plus 4 but am waiting for the inevitable revisions for that price point.
The first gen 3 series machines definitely had some teething troubles, so waiting on the 4 is probably a wise plan.
Me, I'm mostly interested to see if they backport compatibility for their "Qidi Box" filament changer thingy (which thus far is vaporware in the first place) to also work with the Plus/Max 3. I don't care about multicolor printing that much so I'm not about to buy a new printer just for it, but if I can slap on an add-on I just might.
Oof right?
I'd just love a filament box AMS that also has a dehydrate setting. But them releasing a backwards compatible option would be great. It's wild how far they have come since competing with flashforge.
