Getting closer to narrowing down my options for a printer!
I will be using it to prototype small simple products and then produce them in a speed the printer will allow me to, until I am ready to get the product mass produced.
So the qualities the printer needs are to be able to print fast while the quality is also good. I also need a printer with the filament as cheap as possible while also being good quality. I need to be able to print both ABS and PLA.
The printers i am considering are the:
Ultimaker 2 - what is the main advantages from the original UM, will the speed and quality of the print be a huge amount of difference? As i can basically get 2 original ones for the price of the Ultimaker 2.
The flash forge creater pro, its cheaper than the ultimaker 2 which is a big advantage.
The Wanhou duplicator D4S which again is cheaper than the UM 2.
Any other recommendations for what I need it for? which one will be the cheapest to run? and fit all my needs? and is simple to use and reliable? Is it really worth spending the extra money on the UM 2? Also resale value would also be good as well.
Any information I will greatly appreciate.
P.S things like size, noise, looks don't matter to me at all.
Thanks
Luke
