Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

Contact QIDI and request a new cover. I also have a QIDI Tech 1 but its a 2018 model and the cover that came with it is made of one single piece of molded acrylic. It's very solid.

I purchased a couple of Qidi I 3d printers in late 2016. In the course of moving them around we managed to break one of the print hoods. They're also pretty flimsy and awkward, honestly. I noticed Flashforge has a newer style that doesn't require assembly that just looks much sturdier and more convenient. With that printer being nearly identical I wondered if it would this fit on our Qidi printers? Or do you have any other tips to replacing the broken cover. We currently only print PLA on that printer and ABS on the other. But we're about to embark on a 4H project of building an Inmoov robot for state fair and it would be very handy to be able to use both.

The older Qidi 1s had 5 pieces held together with M3 screws and was flimsy as all get out.
