This arrived in a branded plain brown box with an image of the printer on the outside along with size details. Once opened you get the user manual and unpacking guide, a replacement 0.4mm nozzle, a small reel of PLA filament, hex keys, a small spanner for removing and replacing the nozzle, and the power lead and adapter. The main printer is packed between bespoke cardboard and very well protected.

First impressions: The whole package is very polished with no real construction other than fitting the filament tube. The printer is finished in grey and cream with a small LED screen on the top with a dial to move through the menu, and a push button in the centre for selection. I thought the manual very good, all in English, and being very detailed giving a good step by step walk through of the setup and functions.

Once I had unpacked everything I had a good read through the manual and then put the Wiibuilder program onto my desktop PC supplied on the micro SD card. I normally use Cura and this is a bespoke program ready set for this printer, which I thought was a good addition as Cura may be a bit overwhelming for a new user.

After getting everything ready I did a test print supplied on the micro SD card of a square. The bed auto levels and the print came out well so I moved onto printing an articulated Elephant, which I reduced the size of for printing and thought this would be a good test. I was quite impressed with the result so moved onto print various other items such as a Cat from the SD card and an articulated snake with different filaments. I really couldn’t fault the quality of the finish, and I tested the resume printing feature which worked as it should restarting from the same point and completing the print.

The printer is limited on the size it can print, and the drop down filament holder with only take small reels, which is a shame but you can either print a replacement holder from one of the free online 3D print sites or go for a ground based filament spool holder to sit next to it for under £10 if you want to use larger filament reels. The printer will connect directly to a PC with a USB AB cable (not supplied), and you can print, control and update firmware this way if or when required.

Overall this has a very polished, compact well put together look to it for a more mainstream customer. In my opinion this is ideal for a beginner with everything being made as “user friendly” as possible. I started with a mini printer which certainly helped me ease myself slowly into 3D printing without it all being overwhelming. Although this is a mini printer it does have most of the features and functions you would get on higher end printers, and although limited on size I can’t fault the finished quality of the prints. I would certainly recommend this to a brand new user.
