<p>To answer your first question: The QIDI Q1 pro has auto bed leveling, so I assume that the bed height is compensated by the bed probe.</p>
<p>To answer your second question: The switch is on the power supply to let you choose the voltage that your wall outlet delivers.

# Changing spring in Qidi Q1 Pro and Voltage Input

To answer your first question: The QIDI Q1 pro has auto bed leveling, so I assume that the bed height is compensated by the bed probe.

To answer your second question: The switch is on the power supply to let you choose the voltage that your wall outlet delivers. In the 110 V setting the output will assume that the input voltage is 110 V and if instead it receives 230 V, it will give your printer twice the power that it needs and that is probably more than it can handle.

TL/DR: *Do not turn on the printer before switching to 230 V!*
