Ha! You're not the boss of me!

That 370°C hotend and 65°C heated chamber sure sound delicious. PPS/PPSU, here I come.

If you can drop $550 for a first printer, it's not a bad choice, I'm sure.

In case you're not sure if you want to get into the hobby in earnest, I can recommend the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE or KE (which I own). Remember, you'll also have to buy some filament.

Also, just an observation: I don't know anyone into 3D printing for more than two years who only owns a single printer. It's going to be number seven for me :)

$280 ain't bad. Your's seems to be faster and take more filamints.

Speed is more than adequate on all models. It's not going to be your bottleneck, trust me.

Not quite sure what you mean by "yours" but I don't own the Qidi (yet).

The main diff between theEnder 3 V3 SE and Ender 3 V3 KE is the higher temp 300°C hotend, which gives you more freedom in choice of materials.

Since they both are open frame printers without a heated enclosure, expect some warping when printing Polyamides. I'm currently quite successfully printing PAHT (high temp PA12) on my KE. Needs to be thoroughly dried first but no problems with warping so far. Surprised me, although the model's geometry might be partly responsible for that.

In any case, dive right in, the water is warm. It's a great and sometimes very practical hobby, especially if you start to get into 3D modeling too.
