Thank you!
I don’t know really, what is small and what is big on this printer? A typical building would be 10 by 15 m, and scale down to 1: 100 this would be 10 by 15 cm (or 4 by 6 inch), wall thickness about 3 mm (or ): 1/8 inch). How would this come out in one piece with PLA or ABS, or would I have to print each wall laying face up and then glue it all together? What about the roof, would it be printable on the walls, flat or at any angle?
Would I be better of with a printer with 2 print head’s, so one head can print support structure?
What about a heated bed, as I understand the Ultimaker does not have one. I been reading that this may result in warping, when the plastic cool down to fast?
I would really like to start with an entry level 3D-printer, to get the now-how.
Yours
Temo

I think the bigger question is going to be what will technically meet your needs. FDM (extrusion) printers can be a bit tricky with small parts and large parts can take a lot of time to print, if you also want quality..
(you should also add a MakerGear M2 to your list..)
