CONCLUSION

    When the Genius Pro arrived here many months ago (mid last year to be exact) the bottom of the box was almost torn open, and the base of the printer was slightly bend (obviously Artillery is not to blame for this) so I decided to put the sample aside until I could figure out what to do with my contact in Artillery. Unfortunately, my contact left shortly after that and well, in the end almost 5 months went by waiting for a reply and by the time I was able to get in touch with another contact Artillery had stopped selling this particular model from their website (another reason that made me hold back on this review). Since it's still available elsewhere however (alas not in large numbers) I decided to proceed with the review (hopefully Artillery 3D will not hold this delay against me, things just happened which were not in my control). With that little note out of the way the Genius Pro is as expected an entry-level 3D printer with slow printing speed and a somewhat small printing surface. That being said however thanks to its rather low power consumption, print detail and acceptable noise levels it's still a valid choice for people on a budget.

    As I type these lines the Genius Pro is not easy to find and the stores that do still carry it have it for around USD350/350Euros, a price tag which is set considerably higher even compared to just 1 year ago. Still, if you do manage to find it for less. I strongly suggest giving it a chance, it might just surprise you.
