Considering a 3D printer

[curious aardvark]

flashforge creator. The pro if you can afford it.
Also plug and play.
Minimal maintenance and you can run the thing all day and all night if you want to.

But with the versatility of dual extruders.

And you can knock out some pretty decent sized prints in an hour or less.
0.3 mm and little or no infill.
You'd be surprised just how quick some things will print.

Oh yeah and it makes r2d2 noises while it's printing :-)
