Tbh, you can upgrade a Reprap to do the same, probably a lot cheaper too.

Pros = One of the easiest to use out the box printers, that will print almost any filament out the box, thanks to autobed levelling, all metal hot end, and PEI covered glass print bed. Also open source, so lots off people working on mods and keeping it up-to-date with features.

Cons = Expensive and small print area.

So, guess it comedown to if you want to pay for something that is going to just work without much trouble, or save money and upgrade a cheaper printer.

I have joined the dark side

Had my baby since Monday and really enjoying 3D printing! Been a really steep learning curve but think I have it dialed in now, after a few mods to the feeder and spool system. Basically I was printing out the box but a few alterations have improved reliability so I can leave it unattended.

Now to learn 3D modelling, that's the easy bit right ;p

I'm looking forward to seeing what mods you start producing with this.
