- Log in to the same account in QIDI Studio.
The online device will appear in the Link device list.
¶ Fluidd
Fluidd is a web-based interface used to control and monitor the Q2 3D printer.
Through Fluidd, you can:
- Control toolhead movement
- Monitor print progress and printer status in real time
- View and adjust temperature parameters
- Start or stop print jobs
This helps optimize the printing process and improve print quality.
¶ Ethernet Connection Guide for Q2 3D Printers
To use a wired network connection, tap the option highlighted in the red box to switch to Ethernet mode.
Printers connected via Ethernet typically display an IP address automatically.
¶ LAN Only Mode for Q2 3D Printers
When LAN Only Mode is enabled, the printer disconnects from the internet and the QIDI Cloud Server, operating only within the local network.
