Re: Best 3D printer for it's money.

My experience:

Lulzbot AO-101. Good at start, but in the long term crudded out. It currently sits in a box.

This past weekend I received my MakerGear M2 kit. Built it in about 6-7 hours. Amazing quality. Worked right away. No issues. LOVE IT so far. I have already made mistakes that would have taken me a total of 10 hours to make up for on my lulzbot (laptop reboots, etc.) and such mistakes created no issues on the M2

However, if this is your first printer, don't buy a kit. There is enough to learn as it is.

I've had some experience with Makerbot's. They worked. However I almost explicitly use ABS.
