You can get wood filament, it's more of a sawdust plastic blend but it does sand down and you can paint it, my first try with it (it's a spinning top):

I think if people want a 3D printer, they buy one. This kit is for people who like tinkering with stuff.

indeed, that's marketing speak for poorly made, rough and crappy :smile:

Why is this a deal when you can get the same printer delivered from the UK on eBay for under £150? OK, the eBay one will be a Chinese seller, with a virtually worthless warranty, but this one is Gearbest so you can't expect much better. :stuck_out_tongue:
So why not save on shipping time and avoid the risk of customs charges and handling fees?
On a more serious note, what are the weak points of these printers? I'd imagine the acrylic frame is going to be a source of print inconsistency and calibration errors, but as this is a kit based on an open design are there replacement parts available to upgrade the weaker parts?
Is there any point in buying one of these to sample the world of 3d printing, and then upgrading this machine once you've identified what you actually need from it, or are you better off doing more research before buying and then upping your budget for a better model?
