I would have to say after heavily modifying my CTC it prints just as well as the Qidi. The Qidi Tech is an all steel chassis and I bought it for$629. I have maybe $400 into the CTC but it has the plywood chassis. I'm still working on building the Kossel and pretty fascinated by how they move. One thing about the Kossel kits is that it's very upgradable in size and function.
