    I have long been interested in, but intimidated by 3D printing. Took the plunge with this one and I'm already off and running within a couple days. This printer is super easy to set up - just took a few minutes and there are some great set up videos out there to follow along with. The printer was packaged well. One little cable was lifting from the hot end, but I just bent it back down and it's been working fine.
   
   It was also really easy to level/tram the bed and run a test print, which came out perfectly. I was really impressed that an hour after I unboxed the printer my son was already holding our first 3D printed bunny. From there I've found this so easy to get running that I've already designed and printed a few parts -- and I have no CAD experience either. Amazing what you can learn on youtube these days.
   
   From all the various review / comparison videos out there it seems like this printer has some major advantages. I can't really compare since this is my first, but I will say:
   - The print bed works very well and the magnetic hold is super strong. Easy to print on and get prints off.
   - The light is really nice to have
   - The touch screen interface is pretty easy to use, once you learn where the settings are that you need.
   - The manual leveling process was easy, and then I ran the auto leveling after that and I've had mostly successful prints from there (I had to play with slicer settings some for certain objects that needed a raft v a brim v a skirt - still learning all this!)
   
   I guess the key take away is, if you're a first-timer, my experience has been that this is a really approachable machine that has been easy and fun to use and get printing fast. There's lots to learn in the 3D printing world, mostly on the software side, but it's very gratifying to see your ideas come to life in high-quality physical form. This machine definitely made me a believer!

   This is my first 3D printer, although I was able to play around with one many years ago at work. They certainly have come a long way. This printer was fairly straight forward to setup even for a beginner. The printed assembly instructions don't have a lot of words, but the pictures are pretty clear. There's also an assembly video on the included SD card, as well as slicer software, pdf manuals, and sample STL files. Once assembled, it was easy to calibrate. Basically just 4 knobs while following the guidance and example on the video. Then I was quickly able to get my first print started. There's also a handy drawer in the front for tool storage. So far it is a fun introduction to 3D printing.

   This is the Evolution of the Ender 3 at its finest. It's silent, fast and has every upgrade you would do to an ender 3 installed. Took about 15 minutes to start a print out of the box. Everything came nicely assembled, wheels were a little snug but I adjusted those and had a wonderful test print in a matter of hours! I will be connecting this to my Sonic Pad.
