just wanted to throw my hat in the ring I’ve had my k8200 up and running for two weeks in that time I’ve been very satisfied with what I got for the money. Now some may have expected a high end printer for entry level money. But it was pretty obvious from the start even before I bought your printer it was a work in progress, or a great place to start is the way I look at it. yes I had trouble with warped bed and broke my thermistor trying to flatten, then got out my countersink bit and enlarged holes. no problem. parts curled or detached mid-print so I used 180 grit sand paper and wipe bed off with a bit of acetone on more problems. I find it very satisfying to solve problems and fix bugs. I have learn 10 times more this way than I would a “plug and play high end printer” not that I can afford one. I plan on adding a fan on opposite side of print head, and add a shroud around hot end but this is what makes this my printer. and by the way I’ve been in industrial technologies since ten years old or before my father was a world class geek before geeks were cool.I studied at Oklahoma State University electronics and industrial technology/process controls just for starters. programing is my only weakness. but this build was simple by the book and good instructions is a understatement thank you for the k8200.
