Would you please help me to chose ? thanks :)
Hello ,
I am Eyad, I am actually an architecture student in Los Angeles , 3D printing is an often used technique to present our projects , and it varies in size . when we have small prints for fast schemes or study models , we use small printers like MakerBot or so , we we have a final or a large print we outsource for pouder prints .
So i am planning in getting a printer , and i am confused between two machines . MakerBot Replicator 5th Gen VS 3dSystems Cubify Cube Pro
The price of the two are pretty close whereas the Cube Pro has a bigger bed and higher resolution which is really helpful in printing big models with less subdivisions !
my budget is around 3000$ , I print pretty much daily , and really would appreciate the most durable ( i am ready to open the extruder to clean it daily , seeking the continues printing )
i know that the new replicators have a lot of problems ( the replicator 2 are out of stock ) , the agent at makerbot told my , they released new firmware and he is sure that the majority of the issues have been solved ( i don't usually trust sails men ) .
here are the two options :

Thanks Guys :)
