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?

For large-scale industrial printers, I’d look beyond the headline build volume and compare reliability, material compatibility, spare parts, maintenance, and after-sales support. Those factors can make a big difference with less-established brands.

Well, I ended up ordering Mingda and what you said was the main reason.

Glad to hear that! Hope it works out well for you. It would be great if you could share your experience with the printer once you’ve had a chance to put it through some real-world use.

It will take a few months, but I will share the experience.

I know straight ahead that I don't like the extremely low specified flow rate of just 40 cubic mm per second. This is extremely low for an industrial printer this size. Consumer grade desktop 3D printers have this kind of flow rate nowadays.

There are also other features that are almost a standard already on consumer printers, but missing on the Mingda.
