  My first printer and I have already printed 5-6 kilos. Very well made. Very easy. With the community firmware 6 that I installed, it increased by 2 lb.

  Positives: very good bed, although I damaged the coating, it works perfectly and backwards like a regular glass. Very sturdy. It works at high speeds for simple shapes without any issues. Reliable extruder. Quiet!

  Negatives: it's not easy to find spare parts, although gradually more and more shops with spare parts for this specific printer are emerging. It needs a general check for some minor issues it had when it first came out, which I didn't have. In the fourth month, with about 6 kilos, the wheels started to wear out a bit and make a little more noise, but without any change in quality. I haven't replaced them yet.

  For someone starting to learn 3D printing, it is an excellent tool. Its construction is sturdy and stable. The parts that make it up are of good quality. It comes almost assembled and the user can set it up in half an hour. The packaging was very careful and protected it even from strong impacts. The instructions provided basic guidance, but for more information, you can check on YouTube. Creality has created detailed videos about this specific printer, such as how to change the nozzle, etc. One can "mess around" with this printer and then reassemble it without fear of damaging it or having leftover components after assembly. All its parts are easily accessible by unscrewing a few screws.

  Regarding the fire issue I read about a few months ago, I believe it may have been an issue with the early models. I personally did not have any issues, but for good and bad, I do not let it print when I am not present, just as I would not do for any similar printer.

  The motherboard of the printer I received is 32-bit, not 8-bit like the early models. It is relatively quiet. The only thing you can hear is the nozzle's fans, but it is not something annoying. It also has auto-leveling bed, which I found very useful and does an excellent job. Its prints are excellent with the ability to achieve detailed prints if needed. Of course, the user should educate themselves about 3D printing and how printers of this category work. Do not expect the same quality as a resin printer, but it can compete with more expensive FDM models.

  The screen it has is a touch screen and responds relatively well. The menu is very simple and will not create any issues.

  In my opinion, it is one of the best printers in this category, as it combines a relatively low price and very good quality in materials and prints.
