Hi, Hall_of_Famer.
The best model depends on your needs.
First, don't be confused. There are two basic models; the Engine (open-air) and the System (enclosed).
Why go enclosed? The enclosure keeps cold drafts off of your build and allows you to filter or vent the fumes.
Why go open-air? Less cost. Same components and controls.
If you want a System, there is presently just the one model, the System 30, listing at $4000 plus heads (about $250 each), although we are still running our "November" special, a System 30 with two print heads for $3995.
If you want an Engine, here are the differences:
- E1: No heated build platform (not good for ABS), no embedded PC with touchscreen, one print head.
- E2: Heated build platform, no embedded PC with touchscreen, one print head.
- E3: Heated build platform, embedded PC with touchscreen, one print head.
- E4: Heated build platform, embedded PC with touchscreen, two print heads.
- E5: Heated build platform, embedded PC with touchscreen, four print heads.
Your print head choices and material choices are detailed in a sticky in this sub-forum.
Let me know if you have any other questions, or if you want to set up a skype/teamviewer session where you operate the printer from your location.

aiekinparken,
Le me know if you have other questions, or would like to set up a skype/teamviewer session.
Davo, which of these is your top selling printer?
About 65% of our orders are for System 30s.
As far as the Engines go, as I indicated above, The E3, E4 and E5 are the same Engine bundled with 1, 2 or 4 print heads, respectively. I don't have the breakdown by bundle, but most Engine orders are for E5s.
