Beware, not sure if it's reprap/prusa, getting spares (and you will need spares) could be a big problem. Also not stated whether it is arduino/mendel based so may have compatibility problems with slicing software. Let the buyer beware, I suspect this is toy quality. Rather spend a few extra bob and buy creality or reprap prusa.

At 200x 200 it is far smaller than the similar priced (If you shop around) CR10 which boasts of 300x300 and is fast becoming the industry standard for the smaller non industrial machines.
I remember the battle of the Video recorders,
an expensive game for some of us.

Tis true, for a little bit more you can get a CR10 off Banggood and it is streets ahead of this offering. It makes me chuckle now when I see printers advertised with immaculate models on them. It's called photoshop, there is no way that those models were printed on that printer.

Hi At the moment the cr10 is cheaper see here https://www.banggood.com/DIY-Creality-C ... mds=search

so its not the bargain its made out, if they halved the price might be ok for doing small parts.

NEVER!. Quite happy to live in the dark ages with the rest of the plastic alchemists on here. I spend enough time staring at a bloody screen without coming home and starting again!!!
