It's been a long time... How's everyone? Josh, Rich, DJ, Aameralis...
Guys,
I'm planning to buy a new 3D printer. There is no limit on the budget. Which 3D printer do you think is the best one to buy. I need high quality printing and I'll be using it almost everyday... So I need all your help... Please let me know which one's the best...
Thanks a lot guys... So many suggestions. I'm now constrained to buy only the Makerbot products. Which one might be better? Makerbot Replicator 5th Gen or Makerbot Replicator 2X? and Why?
5th gen has many issues with the extruder/hotend. its a great printer otherwise but if the extruder/hotend has issues, you just have a pretty box. For that price, I would go with an ultimaker 2.
It has a larger build volume, faster speed, better layer resolution. pretty much everything you would want.
Yeah, I was actually interested in Ultimaker 2. But I'm constrained to go for Makerbot products. As far as the smart extruder problem is concerned, I found this:

So which one will be better? 2x or 5th Gen?
Get a maker bot rep 2x , it's pretty much the replicator 2 with a dual extruder head. If I knew what I knew now I would want the replicator 2x
Thanks a lot Ameralis and Josh. The information was very useful...
