Are you specifically planning to get a RepRap or are you considering one of the MakerBot line?

  Which would you pick and why ? I was thinking of starting out with a makerbot and then using that to build something a bit more ambitious. I've had a 3D milling machine/plasmacutter with an 10'x5' bed so I'm a bit spoiled in the size department (cutting 3/8" steel from full size sheets to assemble your prototypes with is a really nice capability to have) but I currently can't house a machine that size, also plasma cutting is not safe without a lot of precautions so that's why I've decided to approach this from the other end of the spectrum.

    Yeah, my impression is that the MakerBot line is a much easier way to get started, so that makes sense. What you are thinking of was essentially the approach I was going to suggest. :)
