Ok, so I'm new to the world of 3D printing. I am looking for a decent 3D printer that doesn't break the bank. I would mainly use it to make useful things around the house, and fun models. My budget for the printer is $650. Thanks for the help!

maker farm has the 8" and 10" kit for under 650
Prusa i3 Hephestos from bq. If you are in USA: CubiMap distribution
Are you looking for a kit or a ready-built plug-in-and-go printer?
PrintrBot has a few. I know a few people that use the PrintrBot 3D printers, and they do a good job, are reliable, and efficient.
The PrintrBot site is:
http://printrbot.com/
Most of there printers are in your price range. Most people I know that use there printers use the PrintrBot simple, some with the extended volume upgrade.
http://printrbot.com/shop/simple-makers-kit-2/
http://printrbot.com/shop/assembled-simple-metal/
http://printrbot.com/shop/simple-metal-kit/
I could go either way. Ease of use would go a long way, but upgradeability is also important. I was looking at the prusa i3 from maker farm, the printrbot simple metal, and the solidoodle 4, which from their website is only $600.Quote:

for 650 you could get a decent sized delta kit.
