Worked Very Well, for a time, then broke
As the title says, it worked very well for a month or so, got quite a few prints from it and it was going nicely, until it suddenly stopped, the power box was still on but power was no longer going to the circuit board, I'm currently trying to fix the problem but I shouldn't have to be pulling out cables and fiddling with these.The instructions to build the thing were probably the most laughable set of instructions I have ever seen, and to someone like me who this is their first 3d printer, it took me the best part of about 4 hours to build, and most of that was trying to decipher the instructions, I had to use a combination of the paper and the digital as they were not the same and both contained bits of info that the other did not.So points for improvement:1. Re think your circuit wiring, its very compact and hard to get to when there is a problem (and i think the compactness is causing the problem as the cables were under a lot of tension)2. Re-do your instructions, show clearly what part is what and actually write about what to do with them3. Fan is noisy, maybe make a cover to quieten it down a little?All in all, I'm happy with the actual printing side of the printer, its good, cheap and user friendly, maybe the break I had is a one off and hopefully I can fix it easily (although I'm at 2 days of fiddling now)I **would** recommend buying this, but be prepared for a lot of fiddling to assemble if this is your first printer, and possible electronic issues later down the line.EDIT: Working with the seller to fix the fault, they have been 5 star in their responses so cannot fault the sellers on that

Waste of time and money.
After less than 3 months of use, the controller is completely dead. No reply from their support folks and their web site has gone. So much for support and a one year warranty. Another piece of scrap.

Bad adhesion on glass and no cable for computer
Decent print quality. Really bad adhesion on glass and doesn't come with a cable to connect to your computer - despite the slot for it in the machine. Also, no drivers so, despite using the correct cable, it still won't work with the computer. You have to use an SD card (which, thankfully is included). Software to convert STL files to gcode doesn't have a preset for this printer so, you have to enter 40 lines of configuration onto the software. The touch screen is really useful, but, if you have the money, go for a different one (like a makerbot) as they have their own software.

Awesome just awesome
This thing is amazing i love it print quality is outstanding the touchscreen makes it super easy sturdy construction and the heat-bed is really good i had a ender 3 but this is just better pretty much improved on everything its a bit loud but i dont mind and a bit too much construction the manual isnt great but they did put out a YouTube vid for the construction of the device notes: if you get nobles on your print decrees the nozzle flow rate to 90

A review of the noisiest printer ive ever owned
So, quite contrary to the description of super quiet operation is the noise. The fans on the PSU, motherboard, cooling duct and the extruder are so incredibly noisy I've had to replace them as they can be heard through a solid wooden door! The manual is so poorly written I took to just referencing the picture to try and figure out what goes where and which bolts to use.The belts too are very hard, not like what I'm used to as they have a feel to being made of hard plastic as if they don't want to bend around the pulleys.The LCD screen is really good, the one thing that made me buy this one after years of printing on large deltas this was a nice little touch. The only down side is that I'd like to see it tell you remaining time left on a print not just a time elapsed which I've found it often buggy when slicing with Slic3r as it will start with a large print time already elapsed.The cable management could be a little better, open copex tubing may be ok but there is runs of cable which are open to the environment where you can very easily damage them before they reach said tubing.The extruder motor also sometimes takes to stalling as if there is a jam but in reality it's suffering for some un-known reason whilst the print is still going fine.The bed levelling function is ok, not much to say about it as its dependant on how you do such but it gives you the 4 corners then the centre point but you must remember to once you've done 1-4 then return to 1-2 as you need to check them.So far I've had no jams and the print quality is simply brilliant. The bed adhesion is almost too good, I've had so many problems getting prints off it to the point I've actually damaged it in the effort.Would I buy this printer again? Maybe if the above issues where fixed.Good enough for a first printer for someone getting involved, no. Too many things not listed in the manual for a newbie to understand without a description.For those who need more information on this printer, you should use the Alphawise U30 profiles.

Worthy of it’s price
After seeing reviews of this printer on YouTube, I had to check it by myself. I was totally struck by the value of this! The touch screen is very simple to use, the size is big enough and the assembly is easy. I am planning to teach my daughter to used this, but I think for others may need an instructional videos. This tool is very easy to use and it’s included a SD card.If you are a newbies, you may have problems at leveling. I contacted with the seller and they sent me a link about how to re-level the installation video by the way, I think they are very professional!! The only thing that I found from now is the cooling fan make noise. The printer uses a TMC chip to achieve this level of silence, and if you need it you can replace them.I didn’t get enough satisfaction yet about this printer,but I will recommend it to all you who wants to succeed with 3D printer!

Does all I want it to.
I am very pleased with this printer. It has the specs I like and want and prints to the quality I need for my projects. I'm sure that other more expensive 3D printers would produce even smoother prints, but this is more than adequate for me. I rarely have to realign or calibrate the head. I DIG this 3D printer - it does GRO on one ('scuse the awful pun!!)
