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

I would highly recommend a polyprinter. They are a local to Dallas Startup and are not widely known, but their printer produces awesome parts. For the price of a makerbot replicator 2, you get performance that exceeds a 2x. Also they have figured out some magic to print extremely fast on this machine. I have a Uprint Se and this thing has similar quality both printing in ABS but the Polyprinter gets the job done 2x as fast.

We used parts printed on from this machine on our bot this year, such as our pullback winch, pneumatic cylinder mounts, and drivetrain spacers.
