First of all it got a rave review from CryptoCloaks who has more experience than I do with 3d printing. My limited experience on a low end entry level printer was that bed leveling, adhesion, print time, and climate control of the filament all impact the efficiency of quality prints. I like that this set up has cases for both the filament spools and the print bed to keep chemical smells contained and dut out, while reglating temperatures. I also expect this to give faster prints, done quietly, more consistently, with multi-color prints made even easier.

With the holiday shopping season on us discounts on these are becoming available too. Spending that on more filaments of different types and colors is something I intend to do.

I have seen other printers that have a laser attachment as an add on, but haven't seen one for these yet. Not being able to add that functionality is perhaps cost of better printing, for now at least.
