Review
Price and capability are the two main selling points of this machine. The packaging is robust and secure but lacks ease of accessibility. Its pragmatic ugliness communicates a competent versatility, but it occupies desk space in an obstructive manner thanks to the intimidating color scheme.
Setup is acceptably easy, but the location of the voltage switch is extremely awkward to get to and the manufacturer would be wise to change it. Again, this is a cost-cutting measure, so many buyers will deal with it. Prints are of decent quality and consistency, which I attribute to the amazing Simplify 3D software (seriously, just buy it.)
Pros
- Price
- 3D print results
- Reliability and maintenance
Cons
- Design and quality
- Voltage setup
