I&#x27;ve been researching that for a couple of weeks, trying to find the right (pre-assembled) printer. Frankly, there&#x27;s not a ton of difference in specs.<p>I wound up having to make my decision on 1) price, 2) what I felt I could look at for a while, considering the cost, and 3)  whether or not it seemed like a company that would survive a while.<p>Prices for the same level of capability between brands vary wildly - there are printers out there that perform on paper just as well as a Makerbot and cost easily half as much. It&#x27;s almost like they just tote up the cost of mfg and then make up a number to add to it.<p>Wound up buying a Cel-Robox for $1200 ($1600 after supplies and tax, etc.). We&#x27;ll see how this turns out.<p>I might be swimming in filament for a while.
