These are kits, so some assembly is required. Chris Taylor (of Naramlive.com) has an excellent YouTube channel on 3D printing, T3DP, and has some very detailed videos on how to put these kits together and adjust the printers to get high quality results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAMPanw2am8.

I routinely get 0.1mm resolution or better with PLA and ABS filaments. I have posted pictures of my 3D prints next to actual the blow molded parts and it is difficult to tell them apart https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/sho...736&postcount=2.

The newer model, the Ender 3, is supposedly an even better 3D printer, it costs $199 from the same vendor. I get the filaments on sale at Amazon for $10 to $15 per kilogram. If you are not into learning a CAD program, I also wrote an article on how to generate 3D printer files from RockSim https://www.apogeerockets.com/educa...wsletter476.pdf
