\/><\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping up<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m impressed that you can get such good prints so quickly with this printer. I think all the parts fell high quality and the assembly process is clever and easy.<\/p>\n<p>I personally think this is the best printer you can buy within this price range and it\u2019s currently being recommend by the community as the best printer for this price.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a $200 budget I still recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/tevo-tarantula-3d-printer-kit-review\/\">Tevo Tarantula<\/a>. However the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gearbest.com\/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits\/pp_627176.html?lkid=11272545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Creality 3D CR &#8211; 10<\/a> is a better option if you are willing to spend more, because it will save you a lot of time in the assembly process and bed leveling. The CR-10 will also give you better prints and option to print bigger objects.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42665\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/printer-assembled-1.png?resize=590%2C550&#038;quality=100&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/printer-assembled-1.png?w=590&amp;quality=100&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 590w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/printer-assembled-1.png?resize=300%2C280&amp;quality=100&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You might also like reading:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/makeradvisor.com\/3d-printer-accessories-supplies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top 11 Accessories and Supplies for 3D Printers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this post I\u2019m going to unbox and assemble the Creality 3D CR &#8211; 10 3D printer which costs approximately $400 with shipping included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307,292,212,6,201],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-0-review","category-3d-printer","category-3d-printing","category-reviews","category-unboxing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Thumbnail.png?fit=1199%2C713&quality=100&strip=all&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
