    Disappointed

    Poor reliability. Purchased 3 of these for our school and they have been the most troublesome printers we have. We have an array of 7 different manufactures of printers.

    3D printer

    It has been hard to learn how to use this 3d printer on my own otherwise it works well to create molds for letters and shapes for art projects.

    Decent Printer but Overpriced vs competitors

    This is a decent printer but the price puts it in line with high-end printers. A Bambu Labs X1C is the same price. Get an Ender 3 Series Printer for the same quality at 5x less
