With a poor-quality printer you may hit problems such as the plastic not sticking where it ought to, or the whole model collapsing half-way through printing. Maximum print size is limited too: the base plate measures 115 x 155mm, but the maximum print height is a relatively dinky 65mm.

Even if your chosen 3D printer doesn’t support direct USB connection, it may well still have a USB socket.
