This thing is incredible but there are also a ton of D&D inspired LEGO scenes that are also awesome in there.

Amazon says it will cut over 18,000 jobs, a bigger number than the e-retailer initially said it would be eliminating last year. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/amazon-says-will-cut-18000-jobs-initially-planned-rcna64360
I hope Anker sticks with this and keeps refining the software because for larger objects this printer is already very precise and effective and it really only has small paper cut-style flaws.
It will be cool to see if they can deliver on their multi-material addon. That said I think I'd still recommend picking up a Prusa because most of those paper cuts don't exist and it's quieter. But it also costs more.
So I impulse backed the Anker 3D printer a while ago and it has arrived and honestly for a first go at things it's pretty good. But it's loud. So loud. You can quiet it a bit by reducing fan speed to 25% while printing which works well enough for PLA and also slowing it down, but its speed was a selling point. The motors are not quiet at full speed.
Anyway it produces pretty decent layer line uniformity at default settings for large objects.
