Re: Latest thinking on 3-D printer options?

Also, try the used market.

There are plenty of companies that want to stay on the forefront of technology and keep buying the latest. You can probably pick up the "old" Lexus at a Corolla price.

The RoboWranglers use the old "Lexus" that IFI used to have. IFI has moved on to much newer and higher end machines, but the old (at least 6 years old) high end printer is better than any of the hobby grade versions out there today.
