The Longer LK5 Pro is a printer with a robust frame and a very beginner friendly print surface. The touchscreen makes using the LK5 Pro very easy and intuitive. The list of design mistakes and shortcomings is exhaustive, which will cause its parts to quickly degrade and fail. Some of the consequent issues will be hard to diagnose, especially for beginners. Lastly, the noise coming from this printer is too loud to be comfortably used in a living space. All the things that I criticized however are easy and most of them are cheap to fix, but I don't support the idea that the consumer should have to do that.

Thanks to Longer and ZBANX for sending this printer to me and for being so patient with the release of this video.
