B9 Creator seems good! Any idea in speed compared to the Form1+

I have a TAZ 4 (lulzbot) and I love it. It has a large build volume, good print quality, and a giant range of filament. The company also has great customer support, and all the parts are open source. Check it out!
For a DIY printer I have heard some good things about Velleman Vertex new 3D printer kit. Maybe worth taking a look. I have no personal experience with it tho
As with every new printer you will need to take some time learning (and appreciating) the machine. Having spent a considerable amount of time with other 3d printers (Kossel, Prusa I3, Leapfrog) I honestly can say the Ultimaker II outperforms in reliability and in constant print quality. And it’s open source which definitely is a plus.

I just recently got an UM2 as my third printer with a Prusa I3 RepRap as the first and a Wanhao Duplicator 4s as second. I am not at all sorry to have done so even given the cost. I like the quality, speed, that it uses non-proprietary filament, and it looks good. I use the Wanhao for ABS as it is fully enclosed and my workspace is drafty and poses a challenge for ABS on the UM2.
i considered a Form 1 as the quality is absolutely amazing but the mess of dealing with Resin and the complicated support structures that cane required ( would recommend some research here ) talked me out of it.

Hey @Mark_Smito, what’s the decision in the end?
