    The problem is getting the cheap ones to work well enough to print the extra parts you need :-)
    That's why I would not recommend either as a first printer.

    Forget the names they are calling them - they are all just i3 clones.
    Of those two the ctc is better because it has: dual z motors, direct drive extruder and side rail supports for the printbed.

    There are many good printers for beginner. Just choose one DIY FDM i3 with PLA filaments on Amazon or Aliexpress and wait for 2-5 days to get your first printing machine. Basic package is about $200. Maybe you could buy more materials at $300 in all.

    Honestly, you will spend more on a cheap printer. Buy once, cry once. A lot of i3 clones are also dangerous with very sketchy electronics.

    you are right . but I did not spoke of cheap printers
    I spoke e.g. of a ultimaker . you can by each part of a spare part separately this save resources

    makerbot does not save any resources because of not selling any spare parts separately.
    thats is a reason not to buy any further makerbot
