very easy to assemble, just slide the gears in (they should spin nicely, the tolerances work well for the X1C), then slide the column between the base and the top
print profile includes the pain in the lettering on the base, which extends the print time significantly, if you are ok with the lettering being the same color as the base you can reduce the print-time on that plate for less than half the duration, however in my opinion the contrast looks much better, so it makes it worth the longer print time.
