Wow. That's how you ship a 3D printer kit! Looks like they actually want to deliver a good product

Whatever happened to @Amedee and @Titus ? It's been quiet in here this summer!

But boy, have I forgot how to print, what settings would be beneficial to change. Importing old gcode in an old Cura gave me some idea. Still, it has been a while.
First print had incredible scarring up top, changed some settings like zhop, temperature and travel speed, scars are gone, but walls and infill are touching less, also top layer borders are sticking out a bit, being sharpish.
Apparently I need a little more practice to get back into this game
Also, @nallath, why did you finally give in to the people wanting to turn auto slicing off?

He lives!
My printer has been very busy. But I recall not using the UMO for a month or two last year. It was noisy and needed to have the rods lubricated!

That is the first thing I did. But man, I forgot it was soooo loud. I was used to a GPU mining, but this is something else xD

Anyone got opinions on the M3D Micro printer as something for a kid to play with?
I know it's slow and has it's limitations. But I might be able to grab one cheap.

@GrueMaster asked if anyone had any experiences with one a few months back
I'd have to check out the Makers Muse YouTube channel as he's done a lot of reviews on very small and inexpensive printers recently

My son has one. Already replaced it under 90 day warranty due to catastrophic failure (print head randomly embedded itself into the plastic frame a couple of times). Replacement broke down a week after getting it. He now has the CR-10 and loves it.
If you want small and cheap, the Monoprice Mini is about the same price, and far better. I have a coworker that bought one and has had no issues. He even helped the local high school buy a few for their tech club so that they could design and build their own drones (one has a 5lbs lift - impressive).

Ok, I was afraid of the printers quality. I would never buy it at full price. But this was a used one that might end up at ~$100.
I like the small "closed" type. I missed the opportunity to buy a used UM2 Go recently. That one would have been ideal

It's hard to knock or beat the CR-10 at the $375-$400 prices that keep showing up.
If all you do is PLA, it just works very, very well. The nozzle is a bit of a big unknown, so I wouldn't try anything more exotic than PLA with it. But there are so many tweaks you can purchase or make to upgrade it. Dual Z screws, filament out sensor and I have seen a few extruder upgrades (all metal) and ability to mount an E3Dv6 on there too.

If you are after that big build volume, yes, it might be a decent budget choice
But not if you want something small, and cute
If I had time a money I would probably build a DICE or something very similar.
