Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Received this printer on Friday afternoon, within an hour I had it unboxed and calibrated, within two hours I read up on all the instructions and started using up the sample filament on the sample print that came on the MicroSD. Unfortunately the sample filament is only enough to complete about 25% of the lucky cat that comes on the gcode, but omg is it beautiful. For a printer that is so affordable and easy to setup the quality is pretty impressive. I would only recommend they put a different gcode that can be printed with the sample filament, or include more. I received my 1kg role yesterday and printed the full lucky cat and a holder for my arduino uno board... about to setup another print overnight and let it spin. Pros: - Very clean and sleek design, looks beautiful on a work desk. - Light weight -small footprint -easy navigation controls -intuitive menus (everything behaves exactly the way you'd expect, no confusing menu system) -once calibrated, just works -not noticeable from a room over as far as noise. (had to check up on it out of paranoia that it had stopped printing) - Quality prints... Just look at my pictures. Yes it is only 100 microns but for this price range, heated bed, and wide range of filaments... I was able to print a beautiful lucky cat with the little overhanging paws, and the words on the front without any issue. There was only a slight bit of slop on his left paw on the bottom but it took me all of 30 seconds to cut it off with an exacto knife. Cons: - manual calibration sort of a pain (once set, it's solid. read instructions and do the first minute or so of the lucky cat as stated and cancel the print, just to make sure. I had no issues and didn't cancel and just let it fly.) - a bit on the slower end... cura said 2 hours 16 minutes, actual print time more like 2 hours and 50 minutes. - small build frame at ~ 4.7 inches length and width. (but more than enough for most projects i'm interested in undertaking, and especially if geared for beginners. - the loading mechanism at the top, and not near the extruder end. This made for an awkward change out, I accidentally ran past the feed mechanism with the sample and tried backing it out manually and it snapped the filament... so I just loaded the new filament and hoped it would push the sample through... I even went ahead and started the lucky cat... the printer just ran with it and there was enough to do the raft then it transitioned right into the new color without issue. I was pleasantly surprised... so while i'd like to see the feed closer to the extruder I can see why they did it for keeping the machine simple and easy to use for beginners. - not sure why a spinning selection button, i would have preferred just left and right buttons. Works the same either way, just make sure you press center to select and not accidentally spin/select and do something you weren't trying to do. All in all 5 stars because this far exceeded my expectations.
