Im Buying My First 3D Printer (Need Advice)

[curious aardvark]

go with a flashforge creator or creator pro - basically a makerbot replicator dual at a more sensible price :-)
The pro has thicker bed, heavier duty rods and screw and is fully enclosed.

Both are great machines.

Plus there are a lot out there - they're easy to modify and fix and they are great workhorses. Not much ongoing maintenance.
And they can knock out decent quality prints.

The problem is the price. Flashforge Pro is at 1399$ thats x2.3 more than im preffering to spend, Any Opinions about this one(http://tinyurl.com/o53aa4u)?

I'm somewhat in the same boat as you looking around - so no expert. I have a bit more $ tolerance but may still go cheap to start.
Have you looked at the private label of the flashforge at $800? http://www.microcenter.com/product/435491/3D_Pro?
Or, http://store.makerstoolworks.com/pri...ic-3d-printer/
And i'm sure those on this list will point at the various reprap kits like the prusa_i3v or http://reprap.org/wiki/Kossel
There are SO MANY options, have fun.
