    I've been wanting to buy a 3D printer for a long time, and I know there are many fellow tech enthusiasts on the fence about this, so I'm posting this review to hopefully help someone make.the decision.

    This is the first 3D printer I ever bought - got this because of the low price and it's compactness. At first glance, the frame of the printer is very sturdy and easy to carry around. It is very easy to set up and there's no assembly required at all. I just had to plug in the power cord and attach the filament and it was ready to go!

    The 3D printer comes with slicing software which is very easy to use. All I had to do was drag a 3D model into it select how fast I wan to print (faster, less precise vs slower and more precise) and I had a .GCODE file with the sliced 3D model. Then all I had to do was copy the model to the provided SD card, insert it into the printer and click print. The printer automatically warmed up and started printing. The SD card comes with a sample 3D model, the slicing software for windows and a sample GCODE file. So everything you need to use the printer comes in the box and you don't need to install anything! The software also has options to scale the model along X, Y and Z axis to make sure it fits in the printer, because the size of the objects this 3D printer can print is limited by it's relatively small size.

    Printing filament is also included. it's pretty good, there's no smell from it while the printer is printing, and the prints are pretty sturdy, so it's good quality.

    The only cons of this printer are that it's small so you can't print large things. And it's quite slow, the small dog I printed , took 1.5 hours with the fast printing option. but still, worth it!

    Overall I think it's a very good first 3D printer for people who want to get into 3D printing. It's easy to set up and use, doesn't require much skills, and is much cheaper than most other 3D printers out there. So if you aren't sure if you want to get into 3D printing, I say go for it, it's fun and totally worth it!

    This is my second 3-D printer that I have owned. The first one that I owned was a Robo r1+. Although that printer had a large printing area I could never really get it to print super accurately and was constantly calibrating it. I ended up selling it because I could never quite get it to work right.

    I bought this 3-D printer because it seems super easy to use and I like that it had a small footprint as I never really print anything that large anyway. This printer prints extremely accurately and well right out of the box with zero calibration. I really like the removable bad because it makes it really easy to get the items that you have printed off of the printing bad. The software that comes with is plenty powerful enough to print pretty much anything that you want. It comes with an SD card so that you don’t have to buy one. Even the filament that it comes with seems high-quality and I have printed some pretty strong things with such as bag clips. Overall I am very satisfied with this printer and I have had it printing nonstop for the last two weeks. Not a single print hasn’t turned out well. The only drawback to its accuracy is that it does print very slowly. Things that would take my last printer a half hour to print takes this printer 2 hours. But slow and steady wins the race, as the prince from this printer turn out high quality and accurate.

    I would recommend this printer to anyone who is just getting into 3-D printing and wants some thing that works right out of the box without being intensely involved with constant calibrations.
