Yeah, this printer has too many cut corners to be worth $433. If you're going to buy a budget printer, either get a cheaper one with the same cut corners, or spend more and get a better quality machine that has more upgrade potential, and is built with better quality parts. I am yet to be impressed with any Anet printer. It doesn't help that our currency exchange rate is poor right now, but you'll get a better experience buying a used printer from a maker who is upgrading (and who can probably help you get started) than buying low-grade machines straight out of china.
No offense to DHGate - but this printer is hardly one to recommend.
