Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Great value

“Absurdly cheap for what's on the spec sheet.”

$199 with a camera, AI detection and a path to eight colours is a strong value play. It's officially a PLA, PETG and TPU machine, which is all most beginners use anyway. A great pick if every dollar counts.
