Thinking about ordering. Is it actually good?

I own an M3D. It died after a couple dozen prints. Moved to a FlashForge and was AMAZED at how bad it makes the M3D look in terms of print quality. The M3D is trying too hard to be cheap. Heck, you can get much better printers for $350. But to do it right, I'd recommend spending around $1000 at least. At the moment, this is very much a "you get what you pay for" market. If you just have to go cheap, look at a $500 XYZPrinter at Amazon. They're not without their quirks too, but the print quality is so much better than M3D. M3D may get their problems worked out, or they may not. But they are still very much in "beta" on hardware and software right now. From my M3D I moved on to a FlashForge Dreamer. So happy since I did, almost never get a bad print where with the M3D I almost never got a good print. And the FF Dreamer still prints better quality at it's low setting than the M3D at high settings.

Thanks. I got a refurbished robo 3d r1 for $450. It's working great.
