I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I bought after three years of printing on Anet A8 and am 200% satisfied. For the amount of 30 thousand I see a quality product that can print with ABS out of the box throughout the day (I printed no more than 66 hours, everything is fine, everything is super). Adhesion for household plastics is excellent, but with industrial plastics, the printer clearly needs to be improved (reflash the printer, insulate the table, change the heating system, change nozzles).

I am very satisfied with the purchase after 200 hours of printing, no extra fuss, only high-quality printing, I recommend it!

Pros

- Well packaged, no assembly required. - Big, heavy! Weighs about 18kg. - White, beautiful! The design looks very nice in the room, pleases the eye! - The assembly as a whole pleases, everything is neatly packed, there are ties. - A Meanwell power supply, not a nameless LED PSU. - Table size 220x240mm. - There is glass on the table, which can be quickly and easily removed with two lever clips. - It is very easy to adjust the gap between the table and the hot end. - The camera has an LED light. It is a pity that on the one hand, but still much better than nothing. - The chamber itself allows temperatures up to 46 degrees to be reached inside the printer. ABS printing is very smooth, the details do not warp.

Cons

- Very, very noisy motherboard cooling fan with drivers. There is a huge amount of space under the lid to put some 140mm beQuiet, but in the end there is a 40mm 24 volt buzzer that howls so that it is clearly audible from another room. - Problems with the original firmware. For some reason, when connecting to the octoprint server, the printer out of the box just hung tightly and stopped loading (bootloop). I don’t know what this is connected with, but it was decided after a few hours of sorting through various flashings from the manufacturer’s website. - The printer does not heat the table more than 100 degrees. Locked at the firmware level. Printing nylon without varnishes and adhesives can be difficult. - The table heater can be more powerful. I really want to put a silicone heater on 300W 220V. It heats up to a hundred in about 6-7 minutes. - Vkusovschina, but it seems to me that USB Type B on such equipment would be better than MicroUSB, which has a place on mobile gadgets.
