Beginner 3D printer advice

[fontseeker]

No printer can export stl files or Solidworks files.


Whenever you see Makerbot, flee! Run to the hills.



Looks ok. Don't know it. You'll struggle to print ABS on here 'cos its open though. That may or may not matter to you.



Another Rep 1 Clone. Probably the best option here. Not familiar with the brand myself, haven't heard anything bad though.



Same as option 2

Thanks for your reply, so you would recommend option 3? What do you think about the option curious aardvark suggested:

Really liked it, but I don't know, the company looks a bit sketchy, while I know Amazon will guarantee my money. Do you guys have any other advice? Thanks
