For a first 3D printer, you can't go wrong with the FLSUN T1. Many of the issues that give people headaches with other 3D printers aren't really existent with this printer.

This is my first 3d Printer, so I have no real reference point here, but I will say this is a great first 3D Printer. I had it set up and running in well under an hour, and that was even with taking my time to make sure I got everything right.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this printer. Especially considering the price.

I had a tiny little bit of experience with my friend's printer which was one of the original wooden Makerbots. 3D printers have come a long way since then. I saw the reviews for this printer on Youtube and all were really positive. My experience has been similar. Pretty straightforward assembly and really great prints so far. I just followed the videos on the included SD card. My use case is that I am printing parts for use with other equipment we use. I am thrilled so far. I have been printing pretty much non-stop for a week. I ordered a raspberry pi 3B+ to run octoprint with an old webcam. Plus, I ordered a smart plug to use with octoprint as well. I am currently looking for a larger diameter nozzle to experiment with printing faster.

I've been considering getting a 3D printer for a while, and when I needed a fire extinguisher bracket for my '63 Buick, that pushed me off the fence. After looking at a lot of printers, I decided on this one. It had many good reviews not just here but on the internet as well. The features I liked were a large print size and a self-leveling bed. I'm OCD enough that without a self-leveling bed, I would always wonder if it was level and would probably be tinkering with that endlessly. Another plus, in my mind at least, was the fact that it was a delta printer. It made more sense to me to have the print head move as opposed to having the build plate move. After all, you write by moving a pen on paper, not moving the paper under your pen.
