  Very high quality 3d Printer kit. Extensive printed assembly manual. Build went smoothly. Worked on first power up. Website support looked excellent, but was not needed.

• Out the box, Great printer!

  Ive built many printers in the last few years and this one was a bit different.
  I had a few frustrations during the build but I managed to get it all assembled. Theres plenty support and people offering tips and tricks on the challenges experienced. RC Hobbies also replied to my queries quiter quickly i sent via email.
  I was surprised to see that cable ties were used all around the printer to secure working parts! I was also surprised to see that so many parts are 3d printed parts. I would have thought that to get the most precise prints, that CNCs all metal parts would have been better.
  The magnetic bed is something Im totally not used to. I have printed on glass on all my other printers and relied on manual bed levelling or a BL touch - the Pinda sensor is also something new for me.
  
  I didnt get great results with the free Prusa slicer software, but using Simplify 3D I am able to get really excellent results.
  If i had to be completely honest I think the printer is a little expensive, but on the other hand I have not needed to do much tweaking or print out any upgrades! Out of the box its printing really excellently!
  The filament management on the unit sensor is working really well - autoload sensor, and unload filament etc.
  
  The bed is perfectly flat and after doing the Z calibration it prints the first layer perfectly whihc is crucial!
  
  
  I really was impressed at how silent the printer is compared to all my others. It also heats up the Bed and nozzle extremely quickly! It has many other features like filament run out detection and resume print when losign power whihc is great.
  
  Its not cheap, but if you want a printer that prints great out of the box this is one to get!

  After talking to 3d printing mates who seem to be constantly tweaking and fixing their printers I found Prusa who have hundreds of their printers running 24/7 in their printer farm and supply customers with the exact same model. Any new components are tested in the farm first resulting in a reliable printer. I also liked that they supply a comprehensive printed build manual, online tutorials and support. I paid a little more to purchase my printer from RC Hobbies but to me it was worth it for the next day delivery and local backup. I am a first time 3d printer use but my build printed perfectly first time. The automatic filament feed, spring steel plate and heated bed work well. I had some hickups printing ASA because I read that you could print ASA without an enclosure. I then made an enclosure out of cardboard with plastic folder window and ASA is printing perfectly now as well. Well worth spending the extra dollars over the cheaper brands.
