Looking for a hassle-free 3D printer
We're adding to our wish-list for sponsors and would like to find a hassle-free 3D printer. Basically one that you can say "print" and it prints. We had a few sub-2K units that, while they eventually work, tend to need a lot of babysitting and tuning. This might be used by our school's art department as well as engineering so that reliability is important. Is there anything under $15K with at least a 6"x6"x6" build volume that would fit the bill? Cost per print is somewhat of a concern as well. Single color is fine.
