Great printer for a great price!

I'm not sure why other reviewers have complained about issues, printing with this machine. I've had no issues that weren't related to my own ignorance or in one case, faulty resin. It just works and I've really enjoyed the amazing resolution and appearance of printed items. Thus far I've used the included resin, Elegoo clear resin, "Tenacious" super-tough resin by Siraya, and some gray Monoprice-branded resin. The MP resin didn't work at all, barely curing, leaving behind a few streamers and blobs of cured resin. I'm guessing there's something wrong with it, most likely it's expired, though I've only had it for a few months. Other than that it's great!



The biggest complaint I have is about the lack of a quick-start guide in the box. The sticker that was in the box was worthless to me since it just takes you to the product page-- I already knew about that since that's where I bought the printer! Getting the chipboard/styrofoam piece from between the build plate and resin tank was very annoying since I didn't want to power up the printer until it was out for fear of damaging the printer when it turned on. It was wedged in very tightly and was impossible to remove without powering on the printer and going to the Z-axis menu, raising the build plate to the top. The way it was taped to the resin tank was also very annoying since they looped the pieces of tape up underneath the chipboard, making it almost impossible to get the ends free, so I ended up slicing the tape with a knife just to get some ends to work with. A quick start guide included in the box is so important! The manual doesn't mention unpacking things and is really not that great overall in covering key points in a straightforward manner.



Aside from that drama it really does work wonderfully, although the wireless functionality is broken as reported. I didn't have any issues connecting to wifi (Though I didn't appreciate having to give some random site my ESSID/password), and the main problem I encountered was trying to copy files to it remotely. This hung the printer requiring a power-cycle, and the file was corrupted. This really needs to be fixed to complete the printer, having it fail so easily is just embarrassing!



The printer is really a joy to use, and I look forward to firmware updates to address its shortcomings.
