Since this month I one now one small 3d printer. Its a "ender 2" with an buildvolume of 165x165x200mm. For my purposes this is more than enought since I always could print larger parts with the Toolbox e.V. Printers.
The printer was pritty easy to assemble and took just about 2 hours of carfully reading and assembling the parts.
Out of the box the printer was printing prefect. But since i did know that the printer from creality have disables safty features I installed the latest firmare from the [Marlin]{http://marlinfw.org/} github repository.
There I changed the config parameters to my need and enabled the folling options to lower the risc of fire caused by a pritner failure.
#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_HOTENDS // Enable thermal protection for all extruders
#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED // Enable thermal protection for the heated bed
With this option enabled I Printed a benchy which came out perfectly. A benchy is a small boot which you can see in the lower picture. It has some structural parts which are though to print.
