Rotated the bracket for the Q2 Box 4 to 1 Splitter/Manifold to horizontal so that the 4 PTFE tubes entering the manifold have a lesser radius curve and a longer ‘straight path’ before reaching the manifold.  Others found this orientation resolved filament loading errors.  Q2 support just showed me/suggested the same orientation today.  Note: You will need a longer PTFE output tube from the Splitter/Manifold to keep the curve radius of that piece acceptable.  I used another model quick disconnect to joint the original PTFE and an extra piece to accomplish this.  Fair warning - my filament occasionally catches at the junction - I will upgrade my extra PTFE tube (2.5x4 mm like on a Prusa) to 3 mm ID that QIDI says they're using on the Box to see if that helps, or find a better solution to join them.  You could just replace the whole piece but I like being able to run filament from an external spool into the system (like TPU you shouldn't run in the Box) so I will work to improve that junction.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This simply rotates the ‘outside’ component of this bracket so the QIDI Box 4 to 1 manifold/splitter sits horizontally
