Yes but for the £450 priced flashforges you don't get the same build quality, or a print resolution of 20microns, certainly not the same warranty. This is a plug'n play desktop 3D printer of quality. The build volume may be a limitation depending on what you are planning to do with it, it prints fine detail models. You are not going to use it to print a large vase. Just think how much detail you could get on your bird plucker, you could increase the surface area of its bobbles and so increase friction and so its power to pluck those ducks/chickens.
