Hi, I have planned a business where my market are primarilly architects, architect students and prototypes. The business location is in Honduras capital Tegucigalpa M.D.C.

I'm looking for a printer easy to use that I can tell how much plastic I have expended. The reason I chose plastic (PLA), because its filament costs 20$ and 1L of resin is 145$. The students and architects aren't expected to have much budget for each printing project.

The plan is to buy two to four 3d printers. A mix is possible, the reason jewelry isn't in the plan is because, market research showed that jewelry industry imports its designs and doesn't make its own.

3D printer price isn't important, but its materials are. I have looked into Witbox, Form 1+ (de-qualified since Resin was too expensive), Leapfrog Xeed and Makerbot Replicator.

The compatibility with AutoCAD autodesk is very desirable since its the most popular architecture program in my city.

What kind of printer would you recommend for this type of startup?
