I had seen a few positive reviews on this machine, so I pulled the trigger.

It's early days yet, but assembly was very straightforward and I ran the levelling routine, which reported quite acceptable results.  Then, without any fiddling AT ALL, I printed the cat model that came on the included SD card using the white PLA filament supplied.  I then tried printing with black PLA I have had sitting around for a couple of years - in the open.  I expected problems, but it printed fine and my first inspection didn't notice anything ... but then I am a novice here.  There was a tiny amount of stringing that was a wispy as a spider web on both - but that disappeared as soon as I touched it.

Bottom line - IMHO - a happy out of the box experience.

Very cool, I applaud your courage I just bought a resin printer (I need to make extremely small gears for a servo project) but after two weeks only had time to run the dry setup tests. No doubt I will get an FDM machine soon to handle more normal projects, and not deal with the mess. Once you take the time to learn the software you might as well take advantage of it. Have fun!
