[AxisLab]

No question, Build size and resolution.

[YosemiteSam]

Reliability, print quality with ABS and support.

[jestar9]

Dual extruders, heated bed, auto levelling, different nozzle sizes.

open source build size and adaptability to use diffrent filaments, interchangeable extruder heads ,maybe to just snap in and snap out new heads.able to print without computer hooked to printer . portability.keep it simple like delta printers , seem that they would be easier to adapt to making a bigger print area with a minimum of fuss.

Build size is the most important to me

[Adalay 3D]

build volume and print quality

[Solstie]

For me it is all about build volume and price. Everything else is nice to haves that I would use to differentiate printers with same volume and price.

The only other metric I would say is I would never consider a printer that uses proprietary filament.

Reliability and non-proprietary print filament
