Also be mindful of how many  "e" are in the name.. There are variations of the name but I think they are all the same company.

you might get a decent machine, you might not and if you dont, good luck dealing with them

Of course we all know the real King of Prusa's  is a genuine prusa made  sold and designed by Josef Prusa  and he has generously allowed anyone including Chinese companies to copy ,modify and sell his work.

I also have one of these. Added a glass bed and all metal hot end and it works fine. Some time spent on adjustments adds to the quality.

I have well over 400 hours on it now.

f you want $300 then Folger Tech is the best option.

+ 1
the ft 13 is a usable buildable printer and you can get great results witht a bit if work.
I have one that currently does most of my printing.
But plastic bearing holders and run of the mill screw do not make it a great machine.

And there is a bit of built time involved.

But for the same $400 you can get the HICTOP 3DP17 with automatic bed leveling and filament-out sensor (stops the machine if you run out of filament in time to reload before it screws up your part.

If you want $500 then the Wanhao is the right answer.

If you want $300 then Folger Tech is the best option.
