5th Generation Makerbot Replicator - Noise & Smell issue

Hi All, currently im planning to buy a 3d printer...base on my budget and after some research, I think 5th generation would be my first choice. However there have somethings that im not sure:

- does it noisy when printing? or its acceptable ? because I saw the movie of ulimaker 2 and its super quiet...Does 5th print as quiet as this
- since its is not a enclose printer, im wondering any choking smell when printing?

I knew that Makerbot Replicator 2X is Six-Side Enclosure and I assume it should be more quiet and less smell when working. However the printing size is smaller than 5th generation.....are there any accessories that I can buy to make 5th generation become enclosure?

Can anyone help me make this decision??
Thanks!

the 2x is fully enclosed because it uses ABS which is toxic. the 5th gen uses PLA so it shouldnt make harmful smells

Read this before deciding: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...ot/h0aed9hqj38 I would go Ultimaker 2 or Zortrax M200.

Ye, same as Trhuster, cheaper and same/better quality so far i know.

yes just from what i have read there are bugs to be worked out of the 5g's.

Couldnt agree more. MB is way to overpriced if you ask me, and you can get a better printer for less money elsewhere
