Hey, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to 3D printing. I have a chance to pick up this printer second hand, and I was wondering what the community thinks of the product. Would this printer be decent for a beginner? Thanks!

Here it is hard at work making a lid for a motherboard case. I have an Anycubic Vyper that broke so many times (strain gauge) that I am converting it to an Franken Ender 3.

Cool! Since you have firsthand experience, maybe you could give me an idea of whether it's a good deal. I posted a comment with all the upgrades and inclusions and price above. Any insight would be much appreciated!

These usually go for $200 brand new at Microcenter. So as long as it is in good working order, you are getting all of those upgrades and filament for $25. I would be careful this may be a friend trying to trick you into the hobby!
