I chose this printer because I wanted something compact to fit on my daughter’s desk. It was easy to set up, just removed a couple of plastic ties and it was ready to go, it was easy to set up the filament spool as well. At first I didn’t understand what made this a kids printer. After trying it out for a while, I realized that the device was preloaded with a large number of design patterns. All the kids need to do is click on the screen and print. They made a duck last night and they were so excited- they are printing a dinosaur now and can’t wait to make more things.
