Yes I have one...well actually the wanhao i3+ which is who makes these. Damn good works straight out of the box printer at £350 and I know a couple of print farms based on just this model! Good point are,
1, Touch screen so easy menu system vs the dial knob and shit slow display of some of the cheaper kits.
2, 24v system so its quiet, heats up the bed and hot end quickly and pulls half the amps thru the wiring so no mosfet board upgrade required unlike the 12v versions
3, its pretty much pre built, you just bolt the gantry on and plug in a couple of labeled wires....60 mins from opening the box you'll be printing
4, assisted bed level press the button and follow instructions
5, technology outlet are the UK reseller for wanhao so spare parts are quick easy and cheap to get in the UK....and they do some good filament for cheap!
6, it works out of the box as software has been pre configured and comes with its own ( granted older model) version of cura but the new free version works too just copy the settings over
7, pretty good mechanics. comes with heated 24v Pei covered bed so no silly tape or glue to get your prints to stick, mk10 extruder/hot end which is pretty good and easy to get spares/upgrades if you want to print more exotic filaments....also comes with spares like ptfe tubing and spare Pei if you damage the original as well as all the tools to strip/service/upgrade the printer....even a paint scraper to prise your models off the bed the frame is pressed steel not wood or acrylic
8, lots of community on line for help and self print upgrades as well as after market support such as cnc parts or improved coolers and frame mods that you dont need to design yourself ....even better flashable software that offers lots of new features to make life easy etc
its not the cheapest but it works out of the box without having to spend hours on assembly and just as much on upgrades for the shitty cheap versions that dont work without loads of upgrades. if you want to get into 3d printing its good and offers you the option to upgrade if you want to tinker.
as a noob looking for a first printer either get this or the anycubic or CR10 is the current options ____________________ Current bikes...cbr929, KDX200's, Rd125lc mk2, RGV250's |

just had a look at the Creality CR-10
I do like the larger print area and at about the same price as the Balco I'll need to look into it a bit more ____________________ I have become comfortably numb
