I am considering the Printrbot simple metal http://www.amazon.com/Printrbot-Simple-Printer-Filament-1-75mm/dp/B00IZYL7IW and a Prusa i3 http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/59-original-prusa-i3-kit-with-lcd.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA0Na1BRDlkqOcyczng5cBEiQAnEDa2DRDHviSZELxF1AvZlbT_eigxAsd2MS2-xtYhn4IvgEaAite8P8HAQ (I decided on this one because other makers are kind of sketchy and i'm not too into building and soldering.)
The simple metal is about 540 usd and an assembled one is 600, same as the prusa i3. The prusa has a larger build volume and a lcd display but it is more expensive. It also has a heated print bed for abs (and a lot more filaments) and multicolor printing support. The simple metal is easier to use and has a leveling probe (it is also easier to build.) I also want to know how good the customer service is for each. What I am concerned with is which one is more reliable and makes decent prints. I don't want a 600 dollar paperweight. Or do you have any other suggestions for 3d printers below 600?
Thanks
