I would suggest buying a Taz 3 from Lulzbot (
www.lulzbot.com). We also use a flashforge creator, but since acquiring the Taz, we have heavily used that printer. The printer has an enormous build volume of 11.7" x 10.8" x 9.8" and only costs $2000. The printer is designed to print all of the new filaments coming on the market, and the most fun has been the flexible filament, NinjaFlex. If you are going to be at the championship, swing by our pit in Archimedes and check out the printer and the things we have printed with the different types of filament. If you are not at the championship, I can email you more information and get you in touch with the company.
