I have a FlashForge creator pro, which is enclosed. As I understand it an enclosure makes printing ABS a lot easier by reducing cold drafts and helping raise the ambient temperature a little all in an effort to reduce warping.

Just some notes: Ultimaker 2: You can change the materials. But if you’ll often change the material, you’ll have a lot of clogging. (We have about 10 Ultimakers in school - half of them are steadily defective…) You have to repair the machine by yourself. And as said you have only USB or SD-Card con…

I can only talk about experience with the TAZ 5. I love the PEI surface when working with PLA. Very rarely do I have a problem with a print not sticking (PLA bed temperature is at 60 degrees). When cooled down, the prints pop right off (sometimes on their own). No scarring either. With ABS, it seems…

The Fusion3 F306 appears to be solidly built. However, I have only read a few reviews on it, mostly positive, but the price premium seems to be the sticking point for most of the reviewers and whether or not the price premium is justified.

I will concur with the gang on the TAZ 5- I’m quite upset of my experience with makerblot, and your doing great doing the research as I didn’t do!

Quick note on Lulzbot’s customer service: They are super friendly and quick to respond. Also, I accidentally blew a fuse on the PCboard of the Taz I was using and they walked me through the process of finding which fuse was blown using a multimeter while on the phone with me. Very helpful folks ther…

I would go for the TAZ5, the reasons would be pint quality and easy to maintain. If you got any of the proprietary machines, getting your machine up and running again would take time not to mention the parts cost.
-
I think based off of that I would go with the TAZ 5 or Ultimaker 2+. As one of the other responses noted the 2+ has a few new features that are nice but they may be hard to find in stock (Ultimakers are often hard to find and since its new may be even harder). Both will serve you well and have plent…

With all of the printers out there it is hard to determine what to get and in order to make a an appropriate decision you will need to add a few more areas that you will want to consider before making the decision on what you purchase. The biggest question to ask - What are you going to be doing wit…

I am using an Ultimaker 2 and can recommend it. Interestingly Ultimaker released the + Version just today. It uses a geared feeder now and added easily swappable nozzles. One thing about Ultimakers regarding printing quality - these machines are very dimensionally accurate. Depending on the intended…

I’ve used a Lulzbot TAZ 3 and it was absolutely awesome. The nozzle never clogged on me and the printer was very reliable. The new version looks great with all of the new upgrades. As for Ultimaker, I’ve heard great things, but I don’t have any personal experience. I’ve used a Makerbot Replicator 2 …

Well, that depends on your budget. It’s a great machine for the price, but there are some quality issues to consider if you are not handy, determined, and creative enough to control them! I have all of these traits so I am unafraid of a challenge! My first recommendation for you to consider if you d…
