PROS

Print quality rivals pricier Bambu Lab machines
Fully automatic calibration and quick setup
Full 256 mm bed with no keep-out zone
Four-colour printing with the optional AMS lite
Quiet motion thanks to motor noise cancellation

CONS

Open frame rules out ABS, ASA and polycarbonate for most reviewers
No AI failure detection for unattended prints
Occasional layer shifts reported long term
Camera is low frame rate and barely usable
Multicolour prints waste lots of purge filament
