Accessories: I have a combining lenses, pin tables [homebuilt], honeycomb tables , wireless remote, Modifed Ultimate Air Assist, home built non-powered rotary device, PrusaMK4 and Mini Prusa printers.

Unfortunately that is indeed the case with most of these machines. On Amazon I always look for feedback there- I see there is none, so... have they not sold any, or they have and no-one has said they are happy [people are more inclined to complain than say they are happy of course]. In most cases you throw down your coin and see what you get. In the US Amazon has a super return policy so that is something. There are people who import the machines from China and actually set them up and test them but they are more expensive of course, just as I would be if I was taking the risk and doing the work. Gene

Looking at the picture in the Amazon add I would check further on the Ruida controller- I have never seen one like that. I think they are adding to the very low end of their product line and I am not sure what you are giving up for the lower price.

No.
I bought a Chinese machine from a U.S. Dealer in Florida that sell and supports the machine they sell.
I was able to call a salesman and discuss my needs and wants.
I paid quite a bit more for the convenience of working with a U.S. company.
Sorry I can not be of any more help in solving your questions.
