    What's your dream RepRap printer?

    As for my self, I love Deltas. Got my self a Kossel Mini kit on the way, but in my opinion nothing beats this printer :-) http://spiderbot.eu

    What's your favorite?

    If i would build a new one its probably a box type like Ultimaker/replicator due the speed it can handle and the quality,

    But if i wanted to build a second one (Box type is a upgrade) It would be a delta,
    They are simple awsome

    Spiderbot seems to be a nice Delta printer, Reasonable prices aswell!
    Would be great for me for example, and you as we are in Europe

    Yeah, if I like delta as much as I think I might upgrade to the Spiderbot :-D
    But needs to be a closed one for sure.

    Well imo Delta is more like a second printer then a main printer, Something you have as a extra,

    And for PLA only, ABS will warp awfully.

    Why will the ABS warp on a delta printer even with a heated bed?

    How bigger a ABS print, How larger the chance of Warping as its unevenly cooling down etc.

    Perhaps with a closed Delta printer this could be a bit better, But i doubt it wouldnt warp after * CMs

    From all the printers with a reasonable price, let´s say not over 1500,- EUR / 2000 USD I would like to have the Mendelmax 2.0

    This printer is still an open source one and you can modify it. But it has a lot of improvements
    - big printing area (230 mm x 310 mm x 225 mm)
    - heated bed ( in that size!)
    - linear rails (X and Y axis), precision shafting and bushing (Z axis)
    - Resolution (X & Y Axis): 0.0125 mm (12.5 Micron)

    At the end it is much more precise than most of the the mainstream printers - but it is an mainstream one!

    I have a Kossel Clear but I would love to have this one as it's little brother: Opiliones large size 3D printer
    It has a build platform of half a meter and can print 745 mm in height.
