Hi, I am a high school senior currently working on a science fair project involving 3D printing. The survey is a way for me to conduct a quick and simple market study that will help add credibility...

I actually have a Makergear M2, which I bought before I really understood the whole moving bed Y axis thing. But I love the makergear M2. The reason I bought it was because it was the only printer...

This is great! I have made 2d logos into 3d many times, but I usually use an online program to transform jpgs into vector files, and then using another program to turn vector files into a 3d model....

Buying a filament extruder is generally not a good idea. I know many experience 3d printer hobbyists who bought a filament extruder and ended up getting rid of it because it did not produce quality...

The advantage is cost. It is cheaper to build a printer with the bed as the y axis because it takes less construction material. Look at the printrbot simples, and then look at the ultimakers, there...

You can figures yourself. I found the release date and the selling prices for these printers when they were brand new, and compared those prices with what these printers are selling for today on...

I thought it would be interesting to find out how fast our 3D Printers depreciate. I found the current selling prices for a couple printers on Ebay and calculated the rate of depreciation for those...

yeah I forgot to add citations :P
