Well, with what Emily said about their "Engineers" are working on it so does this mean they are reverse engineering something else (I wonder which printer it could be if so?) or are they being inventive? I am saying that two faced because on one hand I am being sarcastic because the Chinese are not known for their inventiveness these days but rather theft of IP (reverse engineering) but on the other hand I would really love to see something brand new from them that was not simply a clone.

Since we may surmise that the former is probably what is happening due to the past practices of the companies in China, including Qidi Tech, then that leaves one to think it will be a clone of a current printer with a much bigger building envelope. Now, since that is probably the case what is out there, currently, that would fit that build?
