I just bought and it's really good

300 on Amazon if you apply the voucher


Printing now at 600mm/s with no issues, super nice quality

A real upgrade and I highly recommend it for anyone after a plug and play experience

EXCEPT

First run it crashed into the bed and damaged it

There's a bug in early firmware which I found out AFTER it damaged itself

Updated the firmware and 20 minutes to get the wifi to work with OrcaSlicer and it's printing like a beast

I complained about the bed problem and they're sending me a new bed plate

I would highly recommend at the price point


BUT upgrade the firmware BEFORE you run it in case you got the early firmware version

All you need to do is connect to wifi router and click some buttons

For some reason won't read my USB stick but windows won't eject it properly so I put that down to the stick

Edit to add

They agreed to send me a new bed for free so I highly recommend 50% faster than my Anycubic 2 which was already a fast printer

But it went wrong
