I got what I expected out of this purchase, I was looking for something fun to put together with the kids we could work on weekends and learn something in the process. This worked perfectly for me and fit the bill. it is a DIY kit though so be prepared for odds and ends here and there, for what you are paying it is a great value. I did get the oneup with no heated bed, we use the blue printer tape and it works great so far, I see no reason to upgrade for our purposes at least.I received one of the v2 versions of the system, we spent about 3 weekends putting it together, not because it takes that long but because we were distracted by other things and I wanted the kids to help put it together. I am guessing if I was focused it could be put together in 3-4 hours as they claim. We had no broken parts, but we did strip a screw resulting in a trip to the hardware store to buy nuts. Be careful screwing into the MDF it strips very easy!Once we got it together we have done quite a few prints, all in all it is a learning experience as we figure out settings to make a print work, we have had a few screws here and there come loose (worse one was the screw holding the x axis pulley in place) as well resulting in a few "what is that prints!". Once we figured out what came loose though the printer works quite well and we are pretty happy with it.The kids love printing out their own pokemon and other stuff and we are learning what works and does not in the process.
