  • If you have an attached SD card reader you do not need to have the printer attached to the computer. The SD card reader for my kit printer (a Folger Tech i3) was on an LCD screen I purchased from Amazon for about $15.
  • When connected to the computer you can monitor the print status in 3D visually (you can use the LCD as a status as well). The program to run the print does not take up much noticeable resources.
  • As I mentioned, I put mine together from a kit. There was very little soldering, a lot of screws, and connecting some wires to the controller board. It was not hard but the directions, although good, were not perfect. All of the screws were in one bunch, so separating them out to the right size was tedious. An Allen wrench set, needle nose pliers, a caliper, and a soldering iron were needed. Since some of the printer parts were also 3D printed, some needed some minor adjustments with a Dremel tool. You could handle the soldering - it was very easy and only two wires if I recall correctly. You are not soldering a circuit board. Overall the kit build was not difficult, just time consuming.
  • I have been using the printer in a basement workshop and not noticed any fumes. If you are concerned, you can use PLA filament which may be overall a safer choice than ABS filament. Do your own research here.

Like /u/Bobdor said the Z Offset thing is awesome. Pick up one of these and follow this video to install it. Check out that guy's other videos, too. Next, ditch MatterControl and use Cura instead, it is a much better slicer by Ultimaker that you can download here. It can be more complex to use however. If you need anything just let me know, and remember there are robo3D dedicated forums at community.robo3d.com if you need anything really specific with the printer, but this sub is a great place for advice!

do you not just wanna use a reprap lcd?
an example:

seems cheaper and has more capabilities.
