    well if it's going in your living room - you might want silent stepper drivers.

    I used my delta for the first time in a while yesterday - wow, once you've got used to a machine running with the tmc 2200 silent steppers, the noise a machine without then makes is quite impressive.

    Davinci don't have that good a reputation, so I'd personally avoid them.

    the up boxes - don't know a lot about them, but going by my usual criteria. I can't recall a single negative thread here either. So that's a definite plus.

    The monoprice voxel is actually a rebadged flashforge adventurer 3.
    Decent machines.

    The up is expensive for what it is. The es seems identical apart from am ethernet port, which you probably won't use.
    And at over £200 less I'd - personally - be inclined to go for the voxel.
    It actually gets better reviews than the up on amazon.

    The up is pretty reticent on the finer details of the specifications.
    It claims you can print polycarbonate - but nowhere can I find anything that says it has a 300c hotend. which is pretty necessary.

    Also the minimum layer height of 0.15 mm is a bit odd. I don't own a machine that can't do 0.1mm
    So that suggets that the mechanics are lacking somewhere.

    Also it's a closed system - so looks like you have to buy their own brand filament - no doubt the reels are chipped.
    That's why you have the fancy spool box.

    So on balance I'd go for the voxel or adventurer 3. Sometimes the adventuere is cheaper than the voxel and they are the same machine.

    ps. further digging around the net reveals that the up mini 2 is now over 5 years old.
    The price was justified at the time of release - but now ? way to expensive.
    That also account for the poor layer height, it's obviously using outdated electronics.
