It's not entirely surprising. Makerbot has never been an amazing value, and as of the last few years, they've only decreased in quality and increased prices. Oh well. Good thing plenty of other players are finally entering the market to replace them (hopefully for good!).
- Snowdax 10y agoI've not been paying attention to 3D printing for quite a while now. Which companies are ruling the roost of desktop 3D printing these days?
- nameless912 10y agoFormLabs if you have the cash and don't care too much about the strength of your parts; their laser/light resin system is amazingly accurate. Otherwise, you're often best served by buying a cheap-ish commodity printer (the one from Monoprice is surprisingly pretty good) and repairing or replacing it (to the tune of 400-500 dollars for a replacement). Unless you need both strength and super high print quality, the cheap printers are getting to be plenty good enough these days.
- irascible 10y agoYou can get a monoprice mini for 200 bucks. I've bought 3 of them so far and they are a great value for the money.
