??? The QIDI printers I have seen are about $800. !
The original CTC-Bizer is Only $400. now, which is a Good printer with a few modification added.
So, I suppose it depends on if you have the extra $400. or had rather do the Mods yourself ?
All QIDI printers I've seen have full enclosures, which is Not good,
since enclosures can cause motors to overheat and fail.

If your motors overheat and fail in an enclosed printer then you should buy better motors. Stepper motors are normally rated at way over the maximum temperature that will be seen in an enclosed 3D printer even if you over drive them or use microstepping. My Wanhao has been enclosed since a few weeks after I got it so that I can print ABS with no problems. It has been that way well over a year and has the cheapest crappiest steppers you have ever seen and they have not failed. I have never known a stepper motor fail due to heat and I have been designing machines that use them for over 20 years.

My statement is not rude. My statement is fact. You should not post things as facts that are not true because people come here for information and when that information is incorrect it can create a lot of problems for people. Normally I do not reply to your incorrect posts if they will not have a potential direct effect on the way people act after they interpret the information. In this case I chose to reply as your incorrect post will cause people to worry that their motors are too hot and therefore they have something wrong when the truth of the matter is that there is nothing wrong.
