The price point of the printer is considered a bit high.
The touchscreen interface on the version one firmware was a bit confusing, but this was improved with the version two firmware that is now available on their website.
The build plate size is an odd size and it can be difficult to find vendors that have 3D build surfaces that fit on this build plate.
The printer ships with PTFE lined nozzles, but users must purchase a separate kit for each nozzle if they want to go over 260 degrees Celsius on their 3D prints.
The version of the printer that was reviewed had onion skin on the prints due to the drivers installed, but Kywoo 3D has since informed that all printers shipping today are with TMC 2209’s on all the axes and the extruder, which should eliminate the onion skin effect.
