I never understand my motives. I always buy things cause they are cheep but when I get started using them I get mad because I buy junk, I would say china junk , but right nowadays most 3d printers are coming from there.

We have a never break policy to buy only American, did I mention this costs 2 hundred bucks, I'm a sucker. Policy well I guess I'm a hypocrite,  I'm so glad china doesn't make General Aviation Planes or helicopters cause I'd surely be in the ground, after you get going and realize these machines really are not complicated. We replace the electronic controllers right out of the box to duet wifi. Most other hardware just needs adjusting and tuning to keep running. 

If your a beginner you will soon find most of the advise you get off screwtube is useless promoting and selling.

There are basics you need to understand and if your like me you have to experience them first hand to learn.

Update feb 2023: 

At this point I have 6 lk1 printers working printing lots of stuff but mainly I have been developing a 3d printed drone body. I can't even explain how much stuff has been printed. I have made some upgrades, direct feed extruders the best, also PEI sheets for the heated beds. Here is a video link to some parts getting made

The printer in the background at the end is O'Red, my very first, still kicking out parts 24/7
