Qidi Q2 Q2C Plate Handle Grip New Version [v2]

Plate Handle – Qidi Q2 and Q2C New Version - V2

A practical handle designed to make removing the build plate from your Qidi Q2/Q2C printer easier and more comfortable.
It improves grip and convenience, while also helping to reduce heat transfer when the plate is still hot after printing.

About version v2

• Improved mounting holes adapted to newer Qidi plates

• A wider tolerance range was applied

• The handle also works with a replacement (link provided below)

Model Versions

Two versions of the handle are available:

• Standard version – with the “Qidi Q2” text on the front,

• Clear version – without text, for a clean and minimal look.

⚙ Installation

1. Press the plate into the main opening (the thicker part goes at the bottom).

2. Secure the handle using two M2x8 screws through the mounting holes.

💡 Tip:
If the screws are difficult to insert, you can:

• slightly open up the holes with a heated wire, or

• screw in a heated screw to help the plastic form threads.

🧱 Recommended Material

ABS or ASA – for better heat resistance and durability.

📐 Additional Info

I tested the handle with a non-original plate from AliExpress and it fits it as well. The plate I have: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005009889222033.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.41.3a7b1c24DkgF8w&gatewayAdapt=glo2pol
