Here is a list of the top 10 #3dprinter . Do you agree with his choices??

2

I would’ve put the printrbot simple metal as #1. That is an incredible printer for any price. Seriously the best print accuracy I’ve seen has come from that.

3

No.

4

i’m gonna go all out and say reprap should be #1

5

nice post

6

He has the Ultimaker and the Printrbot metal at #1 and #2 which is what I would have picked. The rest I’ve never heard of so I cant comment.

7

Rostock max.

8

No Deltas… Interesting…
And while I love my RepRap… I’d never recomend it to anyone who wasn’t quite technically savvy. By far the most versatile, quite affordable, very upgradeable and the definitely the most troublesome/complicated. :slight_smile:

9

I’m not sure I would rank the MakeBot Replicator 5G as 4th ??? Maybe the Makerbot R2, but defiantly not the 5G model!

10

@Steve_Johnstone MB = Overpriced consumer garbage IMHO.

11

I have to say after observing peoples prints from various printers over the years I’ve not been impressed with MB either and their recent patents made me like them even less.

12

A completely confusing list except the #1 (Ultimaker 2). Everything else seems to be in a rather random order. Ath the end he didn’t say what his key facts were but putting cheap and really low quality printers like the DaVinci on a higher rank than medium to high priced good quality printers is kind of … well… confusing.

I think there’s no sense in ranking printers that aim totally different markets in one list.

13

I am in the process of buying my first 3D printer and it looks like I am leaning towards the DaVinci because of the print size and the price. I am still somewhat in the middle. The Printrbot Simple Metal looks good but I believe the print size is not all that great. Anyone here owns a printrSimple?

14

@LOC_DOWN Yup, I have a wooden Simple XL. It’s fantastic, but was a kit I put together. That’s not for everyone.

15

@Daniel_Bull I get good prints from my first gen Replicator at work, but I wouldn’t pay what they are asking for current generation models, given what the competition offers for (usually) far less.

16

@Nathan_Ryan yeah that sounds similar to what I’ve heard from others.

17

Plus, you know, #takerbot

18

Did he even test them? Doubt he could have & come up with that list

19

I wonder what this guy is smoking? The Makerbot 5th gen is utter crap compared to the Rep 2, and the Form 1 is buggy, unreliable and expensive. Not even on his list is the Lulzbot TAZ, which is the most reliable and versatile printer in our store. He doesn’t say anything about the 3 most important 3DP attributes: Speed, build volume and reliability.

Where is Zortrax? Is ten time better then Ultimaker2.
