On par with a mid-range printer. You can see the layers of the print, but accuracy and definition are pretty good. Squirt some filler primer and you are ready for paint.

My phone seems to be possessed tonight but as soon as it behaves I'll post a pic of something I printed recently.

Here we go..... Note that I didn't prime this one I just dry brushed some paint over.

Looks good. What upgrades did you do? Power supply?

Howard_Casto:
Not a lot really. I made a couple of tool holders since you need to keep all the hex wrenches and stuff it comes with for maintenance. You also need to throw out the fan duct it comes with and print out a half circle one. I printed a spool holder that sits on top of the unit to save space, but I think I want to re-design it a bit as I bumped into it and cracked it a bit. I also printed a cover for the Arduino as it just sits there. If you decide to get one I have links. ;)

In terms of the power supply, it would aid in heating the bed faster (takes about 5 min to heat up) but it seems to be optional.

There are a few things that aren't in the instructions that you need to do as well, like isolate the power wires and sensor wires to the heat bed and zip-tie them in place, ect. I've learned that from half a year of trial and error.

Honestly seeing some of your guys prints made with this printer are comparable to my 700$ one. I think once you get the settings dialed in the quality is really good.

And I feel we probably spent the same amount of time testing and tinkering.

I ordered a couple rolls of Black PLA from AMZ3d for 16 bucks Prime free shipping. For the Price the filament print really well.
