Thanks for all the feedback! Right now we have the Solido 3000 Pro (
http://www.solido3d.com/) that the school district bought for many of the schools in the county. It ends up wasting more material than is needed to create the actual object and it is a hassel to remove the objects from the block it produces and even then the pieces tend to break apart in the process. Now that our season is over (sadly didn't make it to worlds) we have some time to look at some of these different models and find one that's right for us!
