If you are starting out with 3d printing this is the printer for you. and once in a while Revain has it on sale for $189.99 also! I use only 3D solutech filament as it has never failed me. I have updated some photos and a video to show you it at various stages of builds. If the filament does not stick truthfully 9 times out of 10 it is from not leveling the bed and having it low enough for the 1 layer adhesion. Questions, just ask. quiet and affordable. it works and for educators too it s the one to try out to get you hooked!
