Well I set it up here on the desk and created my name and a wood name. Put in 9mm instead of 90mm and it printed in about 3 seconds or less, problem is 9mm is very very small. Yes pulled out the magnifying glass and it did a good job. Next printed the Santa from their pics, took about 12 minutes and yes on my Ipad. Only problem is that I had it an inch lower than it should be. I needed to hit the button to make it self focus which I did not do. But it printed fairly well for not being 8" away (7" actually). It was done at 50% power). So for sure it works with an I pad. I'll have to get a cable like I read and see if it will work with that cable and the desktop. While it is no speed demon it will work for what I want it to. Now to delve into the software and see what I can make it do.
