Just like anything it is a tradeoff. I have seen many budget-friendly FDM printers that are awful - terrible print quality, break downs, jams, you name it. 3D printing is very dynamic marketplace right now, and for consumers that means a lot of potential landmines out there.

It's a Form1+. I messed with it for about 6 months testing everyday. The big problem was that a failure destroyed the print trays so continuing with it actually cost more than our Stratasys Uprint machine. And as most that 3d print know, stratasys is anything but cheap for consumables...
