Good value printer with some quality quirks
A fairly precise 3D printer at a reasonable price that is easy to set up, connect to a network, and start printing. It works well out of the box and is simple to modify with custom firmware. However, some components may wear faster than expected, and assembly issues can arise, such as the filament tube not aligning with the sensor and the rear plate carriage breaking within the first 100 hours. The bed springs were over-tightened from the factory. Occasional repairs or tinkering may be needed, but overall it is a decent option, especially for beginners.
Pros
- + reasonable price
- + easy setup and network connection
- + fairly precise printing
- + good for beginners
- + easy to modify with custom firmware
Cons
- − some parts may wear faster than expected
- − filament tube misalignment with sensor
- − rear plate carriage broke within 100 hours
- − bed springs over-tightened from factory
- − may require occasional repairs or tinkering

Multiple Small Issues Add Up to Major Problems
The extruder failed on day 31 after a firmware update caused a reboot, and it would no longer heat up. Filament adhesion problems occurred with PLA, TPU, PCTG, and flexible PLA, even with blue tape and hairspray. The bed did not hold constant heat, so prints popped up and the printer kept running, leaving strings across the bed. Slicing is easy to send via ORCA over WiFi or USB, though larger files need the USB stick. The printer looks nice, but loading filament is cumbersome because the spool holder is at the back. There is no steep learning curve, and helpful videos exist, but they come from professional users.
Pros
- + Easy to send slices via ORCA over WiFi or USB
- + No steep learning curve
- + Helpful videos available
- + Looks nice
Cons
- − Extruder failed after firmware update
- − Filament adhesion issues with multiple materials
- − Bed does not maintain constant heat
- − Prints pop up and create strings
- − Cumbersome filament loading due to rear spool holder
- − Helpful videos are from professional users

Impressive first 3D printer with fast, detailed prints
This first 3D printer impresses with vibration compensation that handles a wobbly surface, successfully printing a Benchy despite table movement. Initial printing failed until the filament was pushed in further until a click was heard. WiFi connection is easy and FlashPrint software automatically finds it on the network. Prints are detailed and accurate, and the printer is very fast, completing a keychain test print in only 6 minutes.
Pros
- + vibration compensation works well on unstable surface
- + easy WiFi connection
- + software automatically finds printer
- + detailed and accurate prints
- + very fast printing
Cons
- − initial filament loading requires pushing further with more force

Great Value Printer with Easy Setup and Auto Bed Leveling
This printer offers strong value for the price and is a worthwhile purchase, especially as a replacement for an older model. Auto bed leveling is a standout feature, and print quality has been good across several prints. Setup is quick, with the test print started within about ten minutes of unboxing. The removable bed plate simplifies print removal, though achieving good adhesion requires a learning curve and generous use of the included adhesive. Wireless printing and an intuitive app are clear improvements over SD card workflows. Standard settings work well for PLA, aside from needing to reduce movement speed until adhesion improves. Recommended, with potential to buy another.
Pros
- + Great value for the price
- + Auto bed leveling
- + Good print quality
- + Easy setup
- + Removable bed plate
- + Wireless printing
- + Intuitive app
- + Standard settings work well for PLA
Cons
- − Learning curve for bed adhesion
- − Requires generous use of included adhesive
- − Needed to reduce movement speed until adhesion improves

Fast, Enclosed Printer With Minor Annoyances
This enclosed 3D printer sets up quickly and prints fast, with automatic leveling and a full enclosure that prevents drafts from causing warping. Detailed prints are possible with the finest nozzle. A few drawbacks exist: the feed tube rubbed the lid until trimmed, the filament feed sits in the top right rear corner, and a small fan runs constantly when the rear power switch is on. One print failed due to skin oil on the build plate, resolved by cleaning with soap and water and using the included glue. Wireless file transfer works well; cloud printing was not tried.
Pros
- + quick setup
- + fast printing
- + automatic leveling
- + full enclosure prevents warping
- + detailed prints with fine nozzle
- + wireless file transfer
Cons
- − feed tube rubbed the lid
- − filament feed placement limits options
- − small fan runs constantly when power switch is on
