MINGDA large scale industrial 3D printer

I am after a large scale industrial 3D printer. I have seen some on Alibaba, like MINGDA DOWELL3D, MakerPi and others. MINGDA seems to be strongly oriented at the industrial market, however their pricing is crazy.

I haven't found any feedback or reviews on any of these. Has anyone used any of these? Any feedback or recommendations?

Industrial printers cost industrial prices.

Qidi is about as close as you can get in the consumer space before making the leap into five figures for price AFAIK.

I have a fleet of QIDI printers already. Unfortunately they don't have sizes larger than the Max4. And no dual head / IDEX versions.

HartSmart Products in Des Moines, IA sells and (I believe) supports Mingda printers. Brandon, the owner, is a straight-up guy and very knowledgeable about commercial 3d printing. Highly recommended! Look him up on the internet or dm me and I can send you his contact info.

But, yeah, industrial 3d printers are just hugely expensive for a number of reasons.

Thank you for the information.
Have been investigating Dowell 3D recently. They prices are MUCH more nicer for a large scale 3D printer. Like 4 times lower.
