This is a really good printer for learning how 3d printers work and so far I have learned a ton! When getting this printer you have to be prepared to spend time building it and be patient during assembly. For me, the build process was really fun!

I am building this printer with no modifications and I’m using everything it came with for first prints so I have something to compare to as I add modifications along the way.

Shipping:
The printer took about 2 weeks to arrive from China. The shipping box was in decent shape when arriving and the individual boxes inside were packaged well to hold all of the parts and keep them safe. I was very impressed to find how everything was arranged in the boxes. All of the hardware was labeled and individually bagged which made it very easy when coming to the build.

The Build:
This kit includes everything needed to build the printer and to be able to start printing once the build is complete. There is an SD card included which has various files which include the parts list, build instructions, user manual, configuration instructions and a lot more. There were also 2 small spools of PLA to get a few first prints when done building (I believe the colors are random, I received a clear and a black PLA).
The build instructions are very well laid out and easy to understand. I consider myself pretty technical and the build was pretty easy and straight forward. The build is broken up into different steps in the document and the hardware needed for each step is noted in the beginning of each step.

Included in boxes:
All parts needed for build
Small roll of masking tape
2 small rolls of PLA
USB type B printer cable
USB SD card reader
2gb SD card(with documentation)

Customer Support:
I have contacted Flsun support a few times with questions regarding the build and they were extremely responsive and professional. I feel like the person I communicated with was very knowledgeable about this model as far as assembly and how it works.

Printing:
After the build I used the included user manual to calibrate the bed and set things up in Repetier. I started with a calibration cube and a thin wall cube. I know that there is some fine tuning that I need to do but in my opinion the prints came out really well for the basic calibrations I did.
