We’ve just released the first trend report 2 of 2015, have a look! This month we have a special addition, as a bonus we asked the 2279 reviewers of the 3D Printer Guide what printer they’re planning to buy next.

It looks like the Ultimaker 2 and the Form 1+ are by far the most desired printers, while the Zortrax M200 took the bronze.

We also measured which manufacturers have the most loyal users, there the crown goes to Lulzbot, followed by Zortrax and Ultimaker.

What do you guys think? Any surprises? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hmm. well, that’s a positive spin if ever there was one.

So, you’re saying that 75% of those polled stated that they wouldn’t buy one of your top 10. And we’re the people who supposedly know what we’re looking for. There must be some real bargains out there. Anyone care to nominate printers to watch in 2015?

Ah! But are you actually intending to vote with your own money?

As you know, I’m concerned that 3DHubs is in a position where it could create a self-fulfilling prophesy so I think you need to be very careful about the data you publish and your commentary on it. Im sure 3DHubs doesnt want to risk being accused of pandering to the larger printer manufacturers or attempting to skew a fast-growing and rapidly crystallising market.

Hmmm you might be right. On the other hand I feel the most transparant and honest thing to do is just saying what you like, right? But I do agree that independency of the platform is vital. True point and noted :slight_smile:

I wonder about XYZ vs Delta. I like the idea of the delta layout but I wonder what the drawbacks might be. They seem like they may be harder to set up and tune.
