3d Printer Reccomendations
Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for a well priced 3d printer for the team this year, any suggestions on brand, model or company would be incredibly helpful.

In the past 2013 season we used a Stratasys uPrint SE (not ours) to create belt sprockets, wheel hubs, spacers and mounts. Anything similar to this quality, but at a lower price would be worth suggesting.

We are not intending the printer for extreme precision work, that being said build strength and durability is a must. Solidworks 2013-2014 is the CADing software were using, compatibility would be helpful. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
