This thing took about 6 hours to put together and start printing. I'm handy but I like to take my time so your time will vary. I found instructions Online from the site i purchased this from and they were still somewhat lacking. It displays which large piece goes together and which screws to use but it does not show you how to put it together. It was all Before and After drawings. By the end, I had a handful of screws and washers left behind; I'm not concerned since they do give extra parts and the main pieces are holding together well.

If you google this printer, the most common reason not to buy printers like these is because they are made of acrylic. This printer does wobble a bit and the design doesn't help much counter it. However, part of the fun of building your own printer is building your own modifications to improve the printer. So, I look forward to stopping the wobbling.

The biggest complaint that I have is the UI. it is slow and not intuitive; think flip phone from 10 years ago.
Another complaint I have is that there is no power switch and the reset button is a tiny thing on the middle of the motherboard.

If you're handy and want a printer that you can easily modify, then this would be a decent choice for the price.
My other printer is a Monoprice select mini and I would probably recommend that one over this for the better UI and WIFI ability. The two limitations with that one is the small build size and difficulty to mod.

A very good printer for beginners and DIY. I appreciate delivery speed and low cost. It may be necessary to make some upgrades, so it's more appropriate for DIY. Dan from https://byznyslab.cz/.

While the printer comes in need of several hours of assembly, the final product has proven to be a reliable and flexible workhorse. I could not have asked for a better first 3D printer!

so good printer we hsve get it in 3days .and it is the lowest price .

If you haven't already watched the tons of youtube videos and learned all of the intricacies and issues with this printer, I suggest you do so right now before reading this review.

This review won't be so much about the printer, as it will be about my experience purchasing, building and dealing with customer service.

First off, I LOVE THIS PRINTER. Yes you can buy it for $150 or even cheaper elsewhere (and I may do that to get a second one actually) but I bought this through amazon seller: eGoo because I wanted the amazon assurance that I would be happy with my purchase should anything go wrong. And believe me, a LOT can go wrong with chinese "kits".

So if I love this printer so much, why the 4 stars? I'm gonna say that I'm not 100% satisfied with my experience, but I'm happy enough at this point to let things be.
These are issues I came across in my experience:
- No paper manual or instructions provided, however I knew from watching videos that there should be some instructions on the included SD card which there were
- The instructions suck... They are terrible. They is about 95% of the information you need, with that elusive 5% leading you to make informed decisions via youtube or prior mechanical knowledge. I do not wish this on a normal person unless they are mechanically inclined.
- I went to youtube to figure out how to wire the thing, and actually did a really good job once I watched it. Before that though... spaghetti everywhere...
- Mainboard does NOT read SD cards. Yes, my unit was probably defective, but because I planned to run the printer via OctoPrint, this issue wasn't very high on my complaint list. However a month of printing later, my board is starting to flake out once in a while, although a fresh restart of OctoPrint and the printer usually prevents that.
- Included filament was only 0.5kg and not 1kg as stated in the item description. I was pretty disappointed, but after contacting Amazon, they made things right and shipped me a full 1kg roll :D This is the reason this seller doesn't get 1 or 2 stars LOL
- Fan duct was printed, and didn't fit at all. Luckily, even with the included PLA, I was able to print a really good fan duct to kickstart my journey! :) One of the awesome things of 3d printing!

Despite all of this, I will still say that I LOVE this printer and I feel that it can produce some real quality stuff! I've run PLA, ABS, and PETG through it so far with little to no issues.

WORD OF CAUTION:
If you haven't already seen the videos or heard about the warnings, DO NOT RUN ABS or other high bed-temperature through this machine unless you have done wiring and/or power upgrades. PLA doesn't require the heated bed to be on constantly unless you live in s super cold environment, but in my experience, hotter temp plastics like ABS make the machine leave the bed on almost 100% of the time. This causes 15 amps or so of power to flow through a tiny molex pin that's subject to vibration, and this causes the connector to overheat and melt/burn, and potentially catch on fire. The connector melting and burning started happening to me after I started printing ABS, but luckily I knew about the issue and knew to look for it so I had a solution already. I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that a new connector (like Deans) or direct wires be soldered to the heated bed to avoid fires in the future. Even if you only print PLA, it's just a good safety precaution.

All in all, I feel like this printer can compete with the best, maybe not in speed at least until you do all of the upgrades (and there are probably over 100 different ones out there!). I thought it was really fun to put together, and even the missing instructions made things a bit challenging, I actually thought it kinda added to the fun! Took me about 5 hours to build it, and almost 5 hours to wire it very nicely LOL. As far as end print quality with PLA and PETG, after all of the self-printed upgrades, I feel like my printer can produce objects just as equally beautiful as more expensive printers such as the Ultimaker 3 or the Makerbots.

If you are truly technically inclined, and are willing to do things like contact Amazon when things go south, I highly recommend this printer.
