I would like to get one.
I see a lot of them and see a lot of reviews and forums that appear to be over ran with early teens with no money and who are easily impressed. I need something that is more than a toy but not thousands upon thousands of dollars super high quality.
Don't have to have real high speed.
Accuracy is good.
Software that is user friendly.

Something more than just ABS. Some parts will need to be as strong as possible.
To make:
Small vehicle parts
plastic bushings
plastic hardware such as washers
Colored bulb covers
Control panel
Knobs
Air compressor air filter boxes.
Small electronic enclosure boxes.
Rail gun separating sabot
Battery tab connectors

Just normal stuff.

So the parts made would mostly be simple solid objects, but some could possibly have complex internal cavities.
