Today, my friend called me up and said that he found a 3D printer that he is gonna order. It is called the Myriwell 220V. I had never heard of it. Perhaps some of you guys have?

He plans on buying it from DX.com for $1300. I tried to tell him he should buy something which is at least known in America, but he refused. He plans to order this as soon as he gets paid on Saturday.

I did a little research and found this same printer on Aliexpress for $1109.

I'm wondering if I am justified in trying to convince him not to buy this. What do you think? Is this a decent printer, worth spending $1300 for or should I really try harder to convince him to get a Makerbot, Cube, or something else?


I must admit that it looks cool, but I don't trust buying things you've never heard of.
