This is the printer I reviewed after running a couple hundred hours and pushing a bunch of materials through it. For the money, getting a CoreXY plus an AMS, a solid app, and features like basic spaghetti detection is a big value. It’s not perfect (I’ve got pet peeves), but overall I think it’s a total win under $500.
Pros
+Excellent value with AMS included at the price
+Fast CoreXY motion with consistent print quality in my testing
+App and camera monitoring worked reliably for me
+Handles PLA, PETG, ABS, and PCTG well with solid profiles
Cons
-LED light only runs on a timer instead of staying on while powered
-Built-in AMS dryer is sealed with no clear moisture vent
-Waste/poop chute management needs a better solution
-Printhead looks complex to service if you ever have to tear into it
