Hey /g/uys. Anyone know if this is a good 3d printer? I want to get into them and learn a bit, my moms friend makes stuff all the time and it seems fun. I don't need a super intense one or anything, just a starting one that's decent. This one has pretty good reviews, especially for being only $300.
The thing is I want to be able to make cosplay sort of stuff, like a Red Hood mask or Batman cowl. Think this one is capable or do I need a heavy duty one for that?

It has bad chinky DRM firmware but the machine itself was alright. I think you could flash Repetier-firmware on some of them but i'm not sure which model.

Also update, apparently you can only do it with the 1.0. If you like to get your hands dirty (you should be if you're looking to get into 3d printing), you can get an older (jailbreakable) 1.0 up for auction and fix it up. Example:

Get a tevo tarantula and join the Facebook group, absolutely amazing community around that printer. Takes a fair few tweaks to be really good though

Get one of the delta printer DIY kits from aliexpress. Generally cheaper and better performance

If it was any good at all it wouldn't need tweaks.
You like it because it needs your constant care and attention to work.
