Excellent value for the price, though not a $900 printer
10 of 10 found this helpful This is my second personal 3D and I've worked with more than a half dozen more, including ones that cost well over $20,000. For less than $400, I doubt you could do significantly better. It is not perfect, but it's ridiculously easy to assemble and operate.
It had a few fits and starts in the beginning, mostly because the AnyCubic i3 Mega cannot maintain a hotbed temperature above 100 in my heated office (usually at 24 degrees Celsius / 75 degrees Fahrenheit thanks to all the equipment) See first picture.
Fortunately, a $1.67 HomeDepot cardboard box (2 foot on side) with some cut outs for the filament and cords, a side-door cut out, and a rectangle to view and operate the touch screen), and it could hold 110 just fine. Picture included.
Even with the high-end enclosing above, not expect to use the full 210mm square printing surface without ABS juice. The prints will not stay adhered to the surface. I suspect this is mostly again due to the ultrabase not maintaining heat on the edges.
With ABS (it came with PLA), I find that creating the gcode files in Cura 3.1.x they worked best with an extruder temp of 240c and a bed temp of 102c makes consistent prints. Others have more to say about PLA. Am going to try PETG soon.

Worth the money, but it's not 1000x and the focus is challenging.
The microscope creates nearly identical images in size as my 200x, so I am going to say that it's more likely that it is 200x than 1000x. At 1000x you should see nucli in plant cells. You don't really see the cells let alon the nucli with this. The focus is so tight that my children cannot change it nor my wife. I have to exert a lot of force to get it working. But it is 2MP, cheap, and the images are pretty neat, and the light it pretty powerful, so I'm not sending it back.
