I would suggest a reprap or a solidoodle 2 or 3 if you like to save money(both are under 1000$) and they are just as capable as most of the high end 3d printers out there. The reprap will be the best, in my opinion, if your like me and like to do modifications and/or upgrades to your own machine...
