Got the pro , sucks it never prints anything right .
My E3Pro needed some adjustments on assembly and the first prints were rough. Now it makes consistently nice prints. Had to adjust the Z-motor position, bend the z-screw nut bracket (wasnt quite 90 degrees), tighten the z-rollers, put clips on the extruder tube, and lower the z-stop switch so the leveling springs could be tighter and not lose level while printing. And I went over the entire thing to make sure all the screws were tight (except the z-screw nut screws).
Original issue was the lowest layers getting bunched up, smearing, and looking overextruded or elephant-footed. Turned out to be something up with Z and it either wasnt lifting for a couple layers as it went UP or it wasnt going all the way DOWN as it started the print. In either case all layers now look the same and I can do a little horizontal contraction on the first layer to make the bottom not bulge out.
BTW, today I saw that the 3dprintersonlinestore has the E3Pro for 199. I dont know anything about that store.

If the demos print but nothing else works, it's the slicer settings. Demos are pre-sliced to work ideally with the printer.
