I have been satisfied with Printrbot.

They provide upgrades so you can evolve your machine without trying something out of your depth and at reasonable cost.
The tech support is great and responsive.
The product is reliable.

I would beware of ebay and chinese products : this is not an ipad you're buying, so unless you already know what you're doing you'll need spares and support. ebay resellers and chinese mainland companies do not have a good reputation for that.

what about this? and the geeetech has a good reputation. They send spares with you and reviews state that they are very responsive post-purchase.

I've lived and worked 3 years in China. I can't buy from them directly as I know what to expect. You do whatever.

Stop. An Indiegogo project is not a product. Indiegogo is among the worst in terms of crowdfunding.

I'm afraid we won't understand each other. You are talking about the cheapest possible machine. I look 1st and foremost for a serious manufacturer with a quality product and good business practices. I can't help you.
