Buying my first printer, but which one?

Hello to everyone, i'm new to this 3d printing scene and i would like to buy my first printer. Having a trouble deciding which one, there are thousands of these things :p

Budget for this printer is around 300€, although i can spend a little more if i get much more for my money that way. I have been looking ready-made printers and diy-kits, would love to have something that prints "straight out of box" but if the diy-kit isn't too difficult i think i can manage that one also :)

I have been looking this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CTC-3D-Pri...YAAOSw2s1Uy1Ls
And this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Aluminu...wAAOSwoydWqHYq

Is there better options than these two for this kind of budget? Also i live in EU, so if the device ships from inside EU that would be great (don't have to pay for taxes).

Thanks in advance, hope my post isn't too hard to read as english isn't my first language...

go for the ctc.

Ships from the uk - so no import tax.
And loads of support and great machines :-)

For that money - and that's about half what I paid about 20 months ago - you can't beat it.

What are the best budget printers you can recommend? My goal is to 3D print accessories and weapons for my 1/12 scale action figures. These accessories will be about 2-3 inches in length, and I realize that at this size, extreme detail isn't possible, but I would like to get recommendations for the highest resolution budget printers out there. My budget is $300-500. Thanks!

Anyone looking for a budget printer try the QIDI Tech. Awesome printer right out of the box. Over 250 hours with no jams or issues. The printer just works!!

Any thoughts on the Maker Select V2 ?

I am in need of help please. I was attempting to use PVA in my printer and didn't know what heat to use. Long story short, the PVA melted in the print head. I though everything was fine, I even printed from that head (left) extruder. Now here it is a week later, I went to load my normal ABS filament, and the machine won't take it in. It just sits there and clicks while its trying to pull it in. I removed the extruder assemble and removed the print head. I soaked it in acetone for several hours, cleaned the inside with a qtip and it appears to be clean. I also cleaned the white tube that goes inside the print head. I'm assuming that's some kind of filament guild, it was very clogged so I was able to use a paperclip and clean that out. I'm not sure where to go from here since I took the tip off and cleaned it. I can't see through the hole in the print head, i'm assuming because its so small. What can I do from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
