Im Buying My First 3D Printer (Need Advice)

[raysspl]

Sorry, but that 3D printer is way above my needs

We have a few other choices than the AIO Robotics 3DP that you can check out http://eezitec.com/collections/3dprinters

nope - don't really know much about them, except you see a lot of people complaining about them :-)

Plus I live in england and I don't think you do :-)

But a website that I can't get parts(extruders,hot ends,etc) from, I'm looking forward to purchase a better extruder since the stock one is not that good

well until you get a printer and start printing stuff - how do you know whether it's any good or not ?

Hi, PredaFran! Great news, my newest book should be able to help a little. It is now free on Amazon. It will atleast give you a foundations of things you should really think about when doing your comparison. Hey, when you're done reading it, if you don't mind, please let me a review!

always a huge mistake to label anything 'ultimate'
Particularly in an industry where new products are coming out every damn day :-)
But I'll give it a read :-)
(bugger, forgot I'd lost my kindle :-( )
You got it in a pdf ?

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.
