The following video is a timelapse of the assembly, modifications and first print with a QU-BD Two-Up (Version 1) 3D printer. Lots of extra time was spent off-camera filing and sanding down parts to actually get them to fit. This was a badly made kit and the instructions had not been updated for my version of the printer. The x-gantry also sagged too much to print anything and a pulley system had to be added to the printer. Hopefully these problems have been addressed in the Version 2 redesign of the Two-Up printer. Overall, I would not recommend this 3D printer, especially since now it is possible to get much better printers for the same price or less, although at the time, this was one of the best printers for such a cheap price.
Note that this [the print shown in the video] is my first ever successful print and was done using incorrect print settings, resulting in the bad quality print. Below are a few photos of the test object that I first printed next to the same object printed more recently, with better settings. Unfortunately, during the printing of the newer black one, the printer glitched and resulted in the first few layers being not in line with the rest of the print.
