I have had it since 18/05/20. I bought it for home use. Mainly for school documents and not for photos. I haven't tried printing photos, but even if I do, I won't have high expectations. I consider it to be a bit economical to print high-quality photos. So far, I have printed 150 sheets. Let's start from the beginning. Taking it out of the box, it gives you the feeling that you need to be very careful when placing it, so it doesn't break! It seems like such a "fake" construction. The installation is very easy! It includes three bottles with the three colors and 2 black ones. The seller thought that the bottles would be half full, which was not true, and I ended up buying an extra black bottle for nothing. Incredible ease and economy with the inks. When one color runs out, you can refill it for just 5 euros. It's not like the classic printers, where when one color runs out of the three, you have to change the whole cartridge, wasting the other two colors. While everything went smoothly during the first few days, with daily prints, I left it for about a week. I went to print and the results were terrible!!! I thought, okay, I'll clean the print head and everything will be fine (or so I thought). I did one cleaning, slightly better, did a second, third, tenth (!!!)... It only managed to print the test page with just one blank spot in blue. The yellow, which initially didn't produce any drops, was now 100% fixed... I continued with the cleanings. After about 15, the system no longer gave me the option to select print head cleaning. I did two more manual cleanings. It still hasn't reached 100%, but my patience ran out! If it doesn't work tomorrow, it's going back! I will come back with an update, if it ever gets fixed, I will leave it again for some time to see if it will need 20 cleanings or if it will have to go back to service.

Update 17/06/2020: I did a few more print head cleanings the next day and the test print came out 100% fine in all colors. For now, I use it daily without any problems. I hope that when I leave it for days, it won't need another 30 cleanings just to print a document...

It is the first 3d printer I have ever had. I have no experience and now that I am writing the review I have made 6-7 prints from designs I found on the internet but also my own designs that I made with fusion 360. I converted the stl files to gcode using ultimaker cura. So, the first impression is excellent! I had no problems from the beginning. It comes ready at 80 percent, there are detailed instructions inside but also a USB stick that has assembly videos. I ended up choosing this printer because I read that the most important thing for a beginner is to find support from the community. And there are actually hundreds of videos on YouTube where you can find answers to any questions, but also hundreds of Ender 3 pro owners in forums and Facebook groups. There are many printable upgrades that you can start from there, printing things that are practical, not just decorative. So, whoever is considering it, if they have the money, they can confidently proceed with acquiring this 3d printer. The print quality is very good, although I have never compared any of its prints with those of a much more expensive printer. I will come back when I am fully familiar and have a complete opinion.
