Flashforge 3D, has a nice big build area, no messing around for hours dialling it in, but it is made of wood, but theres the 1k price tag I guess, dual extruders too.

I print alot of big things, as far as build size goes, The flash forge build area is 11.82in Wide x 7.67in Tall, 7.67in Deep.

Thanks for all the help guys! I ordered a Bukobot 8 Duo. (My wife's Christmas present to me)

My deciding factors:
Dual extruders. I'm really interested in disolvable support materials.
Ability to print with ABS, HIPS, Nylon, polycarbonate.
8x8x8 build volume.
I like the aluminum frame, and the syncromesh cables.
I won't have to call overseas for support.
They have a brick and mortar retail location.
open source
The more I read into 3D printers the more I want to build it myself.


Thanks again,
Michael

I think the Hyrel printers look pretty cool. I noticed that they just had a forum setup for their printers here on this site (http://3dprintboard.com/forumdisplay...-Printer-Forum).

They have some printers that have up to 4 extruders.

midoco,

If you would like to skype/teamviewer with me, you can do a test print on a Hyrel 3D printer. All of our printers can take up to four heads. We need to keep it to one hour, though.

EDIT: Oops, thread necro. But the offer still stands. To anyone.
