Very nice device considering its low price. There are a few design flaws, one being unnecessarily short wires on Z and X axis stepper motors. My Y axis motor broke down after around 20 hours of printing, feeling like it lose some power. I thought it'd be a simple thing to swap it with one of the other motors to see if it really was the motor and not the board or something else that had broken down, but their cables are too short. Replacement parts are cheap but aren't readily available, meaning many of the parts are out of stock. I might just be better off buying another Fabrikator for spares, but considering the availability of parts in the future, I'm still trying to make up my mind.

This is a really great 3d printer to work with but it has a few driver issues.
If you get it working the print quality is great it prints on 0.1 , 0.2 and 0.3 mm layers with the installed nozzle.
If you take your time to print a few upgrade parts it can print overhanging parts without any issue.
Look om thingyverse for tinyboy or fabricator mini parts especially the filament cooler.
To get it working make sure to roll back the driver off the ftdi com port for this device to 2.10.0.0 also roll back the driver off the serial convertor to 2.10.0.0 and turn off the automatic driver update policy on your pc.
It can be possible that the new driver has bricked your device before you had the chance to roll it back to the old one , to restore this follow this movie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZH_qGautqM
If you got this done it should be working great with repetierhost.
