I got a XYZ Da Vinci Jr. 1.0w 3D Printing with low expectations based on its price. The printer retails for $399 but you can pick one up on Amazon for $349. My first impressions are it looks like one of the first Apple iMacs with its colorful translucent teal plastic. The build is very reminiscent of a household inkjet printer on the inside. What do I mean by this? Well they use a lot of stamped sheet metal, white plastic and flat ribbon cables. This doesn’t mean it’s not a good build, just mentioning a different path they took when designing the Jr. I am sure a lot of this stems from them releasing a cheap printer that makes most of its money on filament.
Now about the filament; the filament has a NFC card in it that talks to the printer locking out any other filament source. The filament costs $28 per 600 grams making the filament cost roughly $47 per 1KG. While this seems high it is still better than some other small filament rolls I’ve seen from other companies. This is also how they get away with selling the printer for so cheap. Compared to the M3D at the same price you are getting a lot more bang for your buck. The filament does have the advantage of taking the guesswork out of some of the settings for different filament, which will help newcomers to the hobby.
If you already have a more expensive $2k-$3k Printer than this printer is not for you. It has a relatively small print area of 5.9 x 5.9 x 5.9 inches and you are limited to their filament. The lack of a heated bed means no ABS even though they took the time to fully enclose it. I have a feeling the full enclosure is more to keep prying little fingers safe. I also appreciate the fact the front door has a catch to hold it in the up and open position.
If you were looking for your first printer than this would actually make a great first printer on a budget. It would also make a great printer to use with or around kids as it is completely enclosed.
The Da Vinci Jr. 1.0w has some features you would not expect on a 3D Printer this cheap. Things like a glass bed, 9 point auto leveling, wifi connection, and a built in microcontroller so you can print without being hooked up to a computer.
The biggest advantage of the Jr 1.0w vs the regular Jr 1.0 isn’t the wifi as the name would imply. I personally think the best extra feature included is the new 9-point auto-leveling feature. The auto leveling works really well and I wouldn’t mind seeing their exact auto leveling on other printers. After it touches the 9 different sections with its sensor it pops the sensor back into the store position automatically.
The wifi wireless print feature is usable but painfully slow. It took me 6 minutes and 48 seconds to transfer a benchy at 100 microns. This isn’t the end of the world as most computers have an SD card reader anyways and is my preferred method anyways.
The software included is basic but seems to work fairly well. Its not the fastest software but it works decently well. Some of the icons down always menus don’t always make sense but it won’t take to long to figure out.
Something a lot of 3D printing companies will embellish on is the build volume. This isn’t the Case with this printer as I tested the build limits and I am happy to report it prints full size.
Supports and rafts seem to be the biggest let down in the software and unfortunately you aren’t allowed to use any other slicing software. It seems with the locked down filament you could at least use your own software. I couldn’t remove the raft from the print and the supports left bad scarring on the print. XYZ has been pushing regular updates of their software and hopefully this is something they fix in the future.

Pros:
Super easy to use - This is a printer that my 10 year old nephew could pick up due to its simplicity thanks to auto calibration and automation.
Prints look great - The prints that come out of this machine look spectacular from 0.1mm to 0.4mm layer heights
The case surrounding the bed - Really helps tone done the noises that the printer makes when printing for a quieter experience
Cons:
DRM Filament? - We live in the 21st century where people can buy ALL types of filament, so why are being limited to buying only one kind of filament brand? This was my biggest pet peeve with the printer as this really does put a limit on what filaments you can use.
Clunky sound inside - Sometimes when printing I would hear almost an uncomfortable dragging sound caused by some mechanical component within but it doesn't change my print quality luckily.
The UI - This one is a personal taste but It just feels a bit slow so navigating it does feel sluggish but thats personal pref.
Final notes: If I were to ever offer my younger siblings a 3d printer with ease of use, reliable quality, and a 5inch printing bed for only small projects, then this would be the printer id give them. For 350 you can now print incredibly strong PLA items that look great. The autocalibration is a god sent feature that needs to be on every single printer. There is a file you can print for the extruder fan aswell that allows your printer to provide even better prints for no added cost. I won't let go of the chips inside the filament packages though, what purpose does it serve to have filament with a digital code that makes you have to buy only their brand. You can buy nearly any 1kg spool of filament for 20 dollars, but for this printer 600g is worth 25 so this is clearly something the company needs to modernize on if they want to be the serious competitor on the streets.
A highly impressive printer that will put your money where your mouth is IF you are just starting 3d printing

Got this printer less than 2 weeks ago and honestly the prints this machine has gave me have been incredible. I have been so used to having to manually calibrate the bed of my printer that using this printer was far too convenient. It used to be that 300 dollars would be only enough for the filament and no printer but with technology advancing at incredible paces it seems the time of cheap affordable 3d printing is finally arriving. There is a few things I would like to point out though.Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2016
