Please Recommend Me a Printer!

I am looking for a semi big print volume 6x6x6+
I am Also looking for a printer under 800$
I am not looking for a kit for specific reasons
I want it to be kind of user friendly as this is my first 3d Printer
I want a printer that is able to use open source software such as Cura
I also want a printer that will be able to print in materials such as wood, ninjaflex, and the usual pla, and abs
Also i want a printer that has at the least a .1 mm layer height
Thats it! It would be a very generous thing to help me decide what printer i will buy! :-)

Take a look at the Powerspec 3D pro. http://www.microcenter.com/product/435491/3d_pro

I couldnt really care for a dual extruder as i wouldnt use it that much for the things i want to make, also i could not find it anywhere that i could buy it, i do have a local microcenter and they have said at the store they are not taking any more orders of the Powerspec, thanks so much for your suggestion though! :-)

I don't have it personally, I use the Flashforge Creator pro but it's basically the same thing. I don't do much dual extrusion myself either, but it's always nice to have a spare extruder to use if one is down for some reason :) Good luck though hope you find what you want!

Thanks so much! :-)

Printrbot is a good brand. Their support is great and I'm happy with my purchase.

I would recommend the RigidBot. The standard sized one is 10x10x10, they come at 800 assembled or 579 as a kit. I think they are nice because they are extremly modular. If you want to go bigger down the road it is simply done. http://rigidbot.com/product/rigidbot-regular-assembled/

Otherwise if you wanted to wait a few months the Genesis 3D printer by X3D is a great modular printer as well. They will be sold at about 350. http://www.x3dmachines.com/

For your budget I'd recommend the Printerbot Simple Metal w/ the heated bed upgrade. I have one along with my Makergear M2. Printrbot is an awesome little machine and properly calibrated produces very nice parts. Not sure any printer is "easy." They are all easy unless you want really nice prints. Theres where the learning curve comes into play.

So ive narrowed it down to 2 printers. Your RigitBot or a Robo3d printer. Have you had any experience with or using either of the printers? If so, what are your thoughts?

I'd Keep looking but that's just me.

I have a Robo3D, and it works good. I have recently had some problems with it that I have been working out, but printed flawlessly for 6 months before any issues. I would recommend upgrading to an E3D right away though. As for the RigidBot, I have not bought it yet, it is on my list though. The fact that it is modular and that you can strengthen the frame easily means that you can be up and printing right away, and upgrade in places you feel need it most as finances are available.

One thing to keep in mind, is that pretty much all printers have the ability to print great, with work, parts, money, and know how. When it comes to buying a cheap printer that works from the get go, I like something that is easily and fully upgradeable. Most users when they first get into this hobby are confused and have to spend months tinkering around but end up understanding the basics and the benifits of this over that. Having a printer that is modular will allow you to be able to play and learn easily.
