Hello everyone, as the title states I am considering buying a 3D printer just because I think the technology is really cool and it could be really useful for creating parts for any of my robotics projects. I'm looking for a reliable and accurate printer with somewhat easy setup.
I've looked at the Makerbot printers, but it seems like they all have terrible reviews about the support being practically non-existent if there is even a printer issue, so it's basically out of the picture.
The makergear m2 looks sturdy and reviews claim that the customer support is superb. The cost is also not too steep.
The ultimaker v2 looks like it is much easier to setup and has finer prints, though. I've also seen good reviews on the first ultimaker v1 which looks good for the company.
So what do you guys think? Makergear m2 vs ultimaker v2? pros? cons?
