these are dual voltage. Is the switch on the side in the correct position?
Do you have a meter to check voltages?
Start at the wall outlet and work tour way though each connection.

I would also be cautious of the acrylic frame... I know there are a lot of them out there, but not a real good choice in my humble opinion. I prefer the durability of metal frames over plastic - less chance of something cracking under stress.

Yes, I have successfully assembled the Folgertech 2020 Prusa i3, and have it running - but still working out a few bugs... it has only been just over a week tho, lol

They don't tell you what kind of board or what stepper drivers they are using, and since you're ordering a kit from overseas there will be nobody to help you if things go wrong.

FolgerTech has a i3 prusa kit made of 2020 aluminum extrusion: http://folgertech.com/collections/3d-pr … rinter-kit It is cheaper than your kit (though it doesn't have the LCD), but it has US support and Heartless here on the forums has successfully assembled one and seems to be happy with the kit.
