I did a bit of reading and decided on the Prusa i3 and at the time the mk2S was the current one. But as it was over £700 i was reluctant to shell out for it, so i delayed placing an order. This worked out well as a month after the i3 mk3 came out. This is stuff full of idiot proff stuff, but the back order time was unsure (they are now getting better) I ordered in February and waited 7 weeks to get it.

So for under £800 you can print out your projects up to 25x21x21cm in size. I have just done an RC jet boat, but this is showing the limits of what and how you print. The main problem is joining the prints. Unless you use ABS plastic which is difficult and has toxic fumes. The bonding process for the parts has to be glue as most of the print filaments will only melt by using toxic solvents.

Anyway i'm building up to printing this a GIANT 3D PRINTED technic LEGO Bulldozer [Kit 856]
