Review
Its automated leveling feature works well, it is quiet and won’t be out of place in a working office or a consumer basement/garage.
However, this 3D printer has some serious flaws and it’s hard to recommend buying it. We encountered a lot of issues during our 50 hours of 3D printing. Running into a few problems with an affordable desktop 3D printer is expected, but we got a filament jam, an unplugged cable that tempered an important sensor and even some impromptus pauses during the 3D printing process. We must also mention the very bad quality of the included 3D filament which went straight to the bin after a few tests. One good point though, the customer support is very kind and reactive, and you never feel left alone.
All these issues could be acceptable on a DIY/Kit under $500, but the MBot Grid II+ does not come cheap. At $1,099, the single extruder version has a lot of competitors and most of the time it will be worth saving and buy a cheaper 3D printer, such as the $899 Original Prusa i3 MK2.
Pros
- Robustness of the frame and simplicity of the design
- The stickiness of the build surface
- Great customer support
- Quiet
Cons
- Issues during the 3D printing process
- Some important software functionalities are missing
- Awful quality of the included 3D filament
