I mean yeah, they’re cheap, and there are definitely some production issues, but they’re pretty good about replacing bad parts in new machines. I think the biggest factor that got me off and running right away was following youtube videos to learn how to do the initial assembly including squaring up the frame, and videos on doing bed leveling correctly (if your spring aren’t almost completely closed then you’re going to have problems). Took me three hours to do the initial assembly but I’ve never had to do it again. I still stand by Creality because they helped me and countless others break in to 3D printing at home at a time when the next available model was around $500 (but that one was made by Creality too! 😀 ).
