Ye, Its a nice price, even for a Kit it would still be a nice price, but this is even assembled,

Oh well i am kinda fan for Kits when you are new, so you know your printer and whats inside,
I bet alot of users that bought a makerbot actualy don't even know that alot about it.

Did hear that you have to fix a few thing when you got it at your home, A few things that they didnt realy assemble that well.

If you have a few extra dollars i would probably say you should buy a Ultimaker,
If not a solidoodle will be great! But a Ultimaker would be a nice upgrade ^^
