I bought this on the last deal, i got the printer with all the screws and tool kit were missing, the screen holder is missing, Can not assemble it to see if it even works. Messaged seller and they said they were going to send the parts, still waiting no response on tracking , just requested threw ebay to return and get refund.If i am having trouble now, i can imagine later..

Yeah, the seller is super sketchy. I ordered an then I immediately tried to cancel. The seller did not cancel on their end so it arrived. It wasn't in good condition. I could smell hairspray and glue stick all over the hot bed and it was all scratched up. B-condition.
For those who have received it, are they dropshipped by Amazon (delivered by Amazon drivers)? I'm wondering if they are actually refurbished or just Amazon returns that are redirected

The KE seems to be available too, is it worth the extra money?
As someone who has owned both I will say definitely. You can get the SE printing good but the KE just works better out of the box and has a couple upgrades like a touch screen, dual extruder fans, a linear rail for the z axis, and a web interface where you can transfer files to it over your network instead of using SD cards that make it worth the extra money.
I got mine for $168 refurbished. $143 is a steal.
Also for those buying the KE a couple mods to make it even better:
- Silicone spacers to get the bed leveling down better (amazon for $6...any brand really)
- A better PEI plate (amazon $12 - comgrow is a decent brand for this)
- If you really want to go all out switch your Y axis to linear rails (https://www.printables.com/model/...il-upgrade)
- Something to get the spool off the gantry so it doesn't wobble as much (either mount it somewhere else or do something to mount it next to the printer and print something like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6522683)
Too bad this didn't come up a week ago, PolyMaker was having a 30% off everything sale and had some great deals on filament.

I got this last time around for like $109 i think. Def used but seemed in new condition besides the flexible baseplate had a 'stain' from the demo print piece. I've used it like crazy and love it! My first 3D printer
Also made a vid of unbox, setup, and first demo print of this: https://youtu.be/-h5UwDoz8h4

Seller sucks. Mine was missing a ton of parts and instead of taking a return they wanted to send me a new hot end and cr touch from China with a long wait.
The SE and KE are both good printers. The prices here are also good. The very mixed results would make me worried about buying unless I was ok with doing a return.

Came here to say this. I had this printer new. Worked great at first then I spent more time troubleshooting then printing. Ended up investing in an A1 mini and it's been a much better experience.
