Just some quick pics. Assembly went as expected, took a couple of hours to complete, and having had some experience with my ender 3 frame was helpful.
Lots of extra parts, I suspect they ship the same parts for the different sized frames. (Except for the different length extruded aluminum). Really does include everything you need up to and including a full mini screwdriver set as well as a small set of pliers.
I decided against the included handle as it added unnecessary height, but incorporated a wide slot in the shelf I printed off which allows for the top bar to be used as a carry handle. I wanted the shelf to make room for an external USB hub in order to make up for the lack of front panel USB. Probably going to print up some labels for power/reset so that there's no doubt as to which switch is which.
The frame is relatively small, but surprisingly not much smaller than the Core V1 i moved the hardware over from. Case is about 1.5" shorter, and aprox. 2.5" less deep (pretty much the area taken up by the front panel fan on the Core V1, and mostly due to the length of my vid card).
