You'll probably find that you start modelling with the bottom up print process in mind.

And as geoff said the flashforge ('makerbot replicator dual' clone) - which is a dual head printer capable of using water soluble pva supports, or any other kind for that matter - would do you fine.

I think you could probably get one on ebay for around 500 euros.

Get it, get started - the more you print, the better your modelling for prints will get and the more experience you have the more knowlege you'll have for your next printer.

Yes there is a lot to learn, but it's more than worth it :-)

The sooner you start - the quicker you'll learn.
Thank you for your reply. I wholeheartedly agree on getting started as soon as possible, but I also find some knowledge and fun in researching as much as possible up front.

Is there a reason that you'd suggest the Flashforge over other dual headed printers? Like the ultimaker 1 or makerbot for example?
