I've been wanting to get into 3D printing for awhile but didn't have the cash to spend on what seemed worthwhile until now. My budget for the actual printer is about $800.

I'm fine with some DIY, but I'd want to go with a full kit rather than having to hunt down bits myself. So far I'm sort of leaning toward either a Printrbot Simple or a Mini-Kossel full DIY kit from a place like makergeeks.com.

Print bed size isn't a big deal since I'll mainly be printing small items, like board and role playing game pieces (e.g. 25mm minis, custom tokens, etc). Detail and accuracy are probably my highest priorities, but since I can't afford a couple grand, it's hard for me to know which is the best way to go.

Future upgrade-ability and mod-ability are fairly important too.

Any suggestions between these two models or other units I should be looking at?

I want to buy on or around Black Friday, since that's when I'll get my bonus, so if anyone has secret info on upcoming sales ...

Thanks!
