A 3D printer that finally made the technology work out of the box, then had a safety recall and a firmware controversy about cloud authentication. Owners are enthusiastic and wary in equal measure.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
It depends on how you will use it. 74% would buy it again, which means roughly 26% would not. The authentication change is the defining trust issue for this brand.
Print quality keeps delivering while the software governance question stays open. That is an unusual combination and it belongs in the score.
The authentication change is the defining trust issue for this brand. Owners worry about cloud dependence for hardware they own. Recall required stopping use entirely for a period.
Worth it for: Beginners who want prints rather than a project; Multi-colour printing; Anyone upgrading from an older, fussier printer. Think twice if: You require fully local, offline control; Cloud authentication would be a dealbreaker; You want to tinker with the machine itself.
