How good is a sub ?100 3d printer ?

[AutoWiz]

I'm not like you :-)
I don't 'chase quality'...

Give me credit. I have 3 little kids that I want to be able to use these printers. It is not just about the quality. It is also very much about ease of maintenance. How hard is it to clear a filament jam? How much teardown does it take when that dreaded heat creep happens and you need to remove the thermal tube? Anyways, Have you seen the latest progress on my Air Force? Now with Attrition Tolerance..

Drivers seem fine, com port appears.
