The basic structure seems to be made of plywood - not ideal for rigidity. Also, although it says origin is in the UK, everything else tells me it's of Chinese origin.

Thank you all for all the opinions - I really appreciate them.
I think I went though all the cheap printers on Aliexpress and decided to go for this one:
[www.aliexpress.com]
My reasoning:
- steel frame
- auto leveling (the question is how well it really works...)
- decent build volume
- bowden extruder (potentially a good thing?)
- it is not totally unknown 'brand' and apparently assembly instructions are half decent
Any thoughts?

- the thermistors for the extruder and bed are 50k (not 100k) and so read about 20 degrees hotter than they really are. You may need to adjust the temperature in order to get things to print properly. If you see temps of 38-35 degrees at room temperature, you may have this problem. I'll swap these out for proper thermistors when I get a chance.
