Late thanks for the ping.
Almost saved up enough for this rig:
Creality Ender 5 Plus 3D Printer
Any thoughts? Opinions?
Still researching.

[null and void]

There's a lot to be said for assembling your own 3D printer, it gives you a better understanding of the functions. (Protip: if one of your stepper motors is actuating backwards, the clever souls who designed the system used non-polarized connectors, simply unplug rotate the plug 180° and plug it back in. Easy-peasy once you know the trick!)

I don't see any cross bracing on the frames, little to keep it square but meticulously tightened bolts that may be subject to loosening under vibration.

I'm not terribly fond of using binder clips to hold the glass bed on the hotplate, but it is a simple solution!

It looks like a good first printer, you'll learn the capabilities and limits of FDM, and will be well armed with a want's and don't wants list should you decide to upgrade.

Made in Shenzhen, customer support may be, ummm, challenging.
