Beginner 3D printer advice

wanhao sketchy ?
lmao - they're one of the largest 3d printer manufacturers in the world, also one that's pretty much always gone for quality rather than just the cheapest piece of junk (cough 'ctc') they can sell.

this might help:

I really like the printer itself, it meets all my expectations and even the price is amazing. However, I meant WanhaoUSA was sketchy, from what I understand Wanhao themselves criticized WanhaoUSA, and I asked to visit their locations, since I live close to their Miami location, and talk to someone personally, but their support was lacking. That is why I am a bit hesitant about buying from WanhaoUSA. So I think I will buy this one:

Under $300 and it prints as good as anything else out there. I own a prusa i3 pro B..

Screen upgrade was $10 shipping included. Still under $300 for all this..

It appears to be a clone of the Wanhao I3 Plus.
