@Damascus Never used a 3D Printer at all.  But I did buy this one so...

 

Tried to find feedback on it and didn't really find anything negative.  Seems like people have a mostly positive look on it.

i looked into it a while back and people so far have been saying quite positive stuff about it.

im interested in getting it myself but will probably do so next year or so.

let me know how it good or bad it is when you get it .

I have used it, it is more rigid than my Tronxy X3 I but they are both Prusa I3 clones so you're going to have a similar experience with most of them. I didn't get to toy with it's motherboard so I'm not sure what it is using there but the connection with my laptop never faltered at 250000 baud over a 12 hour print so that was good enough.

System CPU : Ryzen 9 5950 doing whatever PBO lets it. Motherboard : Asus B550 Wifi II RAM 80GB 3600 CL 18 2x 32GB 2x 8GB GPUs Vega 56 & Tesla M40 Corsair 4000D Storage: many and varied small (512GB-1TB) SSD + 5TB WD Green PSU 1000W EVGA GOLD

 

You can trust me, I'm from the Internet.

My friend literally bought this same one about a week ago. @RR3XBX

I figured I would post it considering it DOES claim it's a limited time promo (with the regular price being $183.57 according to the gearbest homepage) and the fact that it's on a group buy on Massdrop for $250 right now.

I think by now everyone knows that massdrop never has anything close to a deal. And stupidly long ship times.

Sometimes they have some deals.  Like the ROCCAT keyboards one right now.  ROCCAT Ryos MK FX for $99.99 with free shipping? Yes please.

That's rare. Most of the time I see a "deal" with the "Lowest price unlocked" for within $5 of the Amazon price, or much higher. Also with snail shipping speed instead of free prime 2 day.

Yeah, Massdrop is mostly meant for people who either A. don't have prime.  Or B. don't care about waiting for their purchase in exchange for saving a few bucks.
