Haha! Yeah, i'd heard that about Pooping Robots aquiring people. The friend that gave me this one has 3 machines, my sister has 2, the guy who printed my dodge van chassis has a couple...

I know the 100mm cube isn't much, but there are some documented hacks for making each axis longer. Some swap in better motors, more frame support, better backlash tolerances, better nozzles, heated beds, more fans... This rig is priced where "add a power switch" is a mod, the board already has connector 'sw' that's just been factory jumpered ON all the time. Spared no expense!

After a couple of the preloaded Gcode things, i started with printing some upgrades. Filliment guides, spool rollers.
Made a glass bed from broken picture frame to flatten the magnetic build tray up from warped plastic basal platten.
Adjusted belt tensions

They say it can print in: PLA , PLA+
Apparently even TPU if you shutoff parts cooling and set up like this
