I am looking for a small plug and play 3d printer. I have look for the LulzBot Mini and the ultimaker 2 go. Is there other option and witch is the best? I need something reliable and easy to use.
I have a Lulzbot Mini and it was quite easy to setup. Once it was out of the box it was printing a perfect rocktopus right away. The one benefit over the ultimaker 2 go is the mini has a heated bed.
Also you can get a refurbished model from lulzbot for 500$ off, at 750 its a great deal https://www.lulzbot.com/store/printers/lulzbot-mini-v103-factory-refurbished or the newest version for 1000$ https://www.lulzbot.com/store/printers/lulzbot-mini-v104-factory-refurbished

Go with a ROBO3D R1+. They’re about $500 and feature-packed, fully assembled, ready-to-run and very reliable.
Check out the QIDI X-one. It may be bigger in size than you want but the cost is good, support is excellent and it is a great printer.
Hi vincent1
You can check the Ender-2 kit as well.
A pretty cheap kit (~150€ on GearBest), comes 80% preassembled. Very easy to set up in less than an hour, and you are ready to print on its tiny 150x150mm buildplate.
I own one, I can tell you it is great and the print quality is comparable to what an UM2 can do.
