For a starter printer, its robust and works with in minutes of getting it out of the box.

Software is a bit weak but overall its a decent printer for the $150. All metal frame is very sturdy, the bed does need tweaking due to it only having the 3 set screws but i use lock tight to hold them in place. No heated bed but some spray glue on the removable section works for me.

IdeaWerk out of the box for a newbie

So it was VERY easy to take out of the box and get working... on Windows. I first tried it with my Mac but it didn't come with the SW for the MAC and the link supplied was A) In Chinese and B) When I ran it through Google translate it basically said it was not paid up and therefore not available. An e-mail to support still hasn't gotten a response after 3 weeks. I'm hoping that coming here and other places will connect we with a community of other users.

Calibration took a bit to figure out what they were talking about. The documentation isn't in very good English. But once I got that done I had no trouble running their example(s) through the slicer and printing it.

I also had fairly good luck downloading some chess pieces and printing those.

The SW it comes with is fairly rudimentary. One might even say clunky. But it does work if you don't want to do anything special. I've tried switching to other SW for the slicer but I'm having trouble figuring out the proper settings for adding it to other systems. None of them seem to know about it by default. (So if anyone has done this I'd love to hear.) 

My main complaint is that the slicer doesn't seem to know when there's something wrong with the print. It's tried to print "in mid air" parts of some things - like putting several pieces on the same print. But all-in-all, I think it was a good thing for me to get started with. The price was definitely good for getting me into 3D printing.
