Yeah, that looks OK. The other important things are that it has a heated bed, and can print from SD. I'd personally be a bit scared of breaking an acrylic frame, and some people do end up having problems with some of those Chinese hotends, but of course those are what make it so inexpensive.

It's saying first batch sale over, 2nd batch starting within 48 hours, and the price is $249. But it also mentions the auto levelling as an extra, need to check that. A

I haven't even looked at it tbh, someone posted it on Facebook earlier. You. Definitely want autolevelling.

Looks like the exact same model as a couple on aliexpress for pretty much the same price (but without the panic of missing out on a time limited deal) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-Material-size-225-225-210mm-High-Quality-Precision-Reprap-Prusa-i3-DIY-3d-Printer-kit/32400852250.html I think I'll wait until I've got a bit more disposable cash, or I impulse buy it, or I've had a few drinks.

(but if the enclosures are big, you'll need a heated bed and maybe some hairspray to prevent/reduce warping)

Hairspray? What does that do? And what's the difference between the two types? Suited to different types of objects? Shall I add one more question mark to my post? Me

Helps the Base Layer stick to the bed (and stay in place/not curl up at the edges).

Abs is stronger* but, generally, it's harder to print such fine details reliably.

*depending how you define strength

If you heat their head to about 160C and they sit very still, sure why not.
