First 3d printer. Received this Father's Day after watching tons of reviews. All the positive reviews are justified. Had this assembled and running in short order. Had to spend a little time learning about supports, skirts, temps, etc on a slicer---but within handful of attempts, was getting nice prints. Three weeks in, everything is working perfectly, the bed levels and holds level really nicely through many prints. The magnetic bed mat works as advertised, with excellent adhesion and easy removal of prints. I'm hooked. I was prepared for lots of trial and error, some frustration---have encountered very few issues, and zero hardware-related issues. Highly recommend.

So far so good. Got this for my kids for Christmas, but gave it to them at Thanksgiving. It took some time to put together, and then the downloads weren’t really working right, so it took a day for me to get the program up and running. Showed them how to use it and they’ve been off and running. My kids are pretty artistic too, so they love being able to print then paint and they have been making tons of Christmas gifts for family and friends. They have long lists of what they want to print and they have a cue of prints. Some of my kids are home during the day, so the printer is running from morning to night.
We quickly upgraded the springs, and that was a HUGE time saver.
For reference my kids range from preschool- high school and they all use it in varying degrees.
Also, if you do buy this there are some really great Facebook groups that can help with any questions you have. I wish I had found them before I spent so much time with the software.

This is my first 3d printer and after many recommendations from other people I know I bought this. When you get this printer the first thing you will notice is how well it is packaged. Everything is laid out in bags and all the tools required to build it ar included. Everything fit and even taking my time it was about a 2-3 hour build. It was not hard at all to build however there is a wonderful video on youtube which goes step by step on how to assemble this. I highly recommend watching the video while you assemble it because the video gives extra steps on how to adjust the bed which the included instructions do not address. This is VERY important to get correct. My first prints were using ABS and there were issues with bonding and if you are a first time printer I recommend using PLA. Using PLA I have had no issues at all. This thing is very accurate and I have printed knurled bolts and the knurl comes out awesome.

Go for it ... it will makes you feel happy
