It's not a bad device at all for the price. One thing is that the build volume is 6 x 6 x 6 inches. That's not very larger. It may seem it but you may find yourself wanting a larger build volume. If the size seems ok to you then I would say go for it. It's certainly a simple and reliable printer. You might want to also check out the new Solidoodle printer they just released as well. It's about the same price, and a bit larger I believe.
