I initially received the 3D printer as a birthday gift in January of 2017. The printer comes in the form of a kit which needs to be assembled. Since I received it, I have upgraded many components, creating a versatile and accurate machine that I use to 3D print parts for my various projects. Throughout the course of assembling, maintaining, troubleshooting and upgrading this machine I have developed a passion for 3D printing as a hobby and have learned almost all there is to know about hobby FDM 3D printers.
