    Hey Rodney

    Another option would be  the MakiBox A6 LT.  They are new in the market and i havent had the opportunity to test one out yet but this option will give you a little larger print volume than the Printrbot simple.  Another thing to think about is what you are looking to do with the machine.  Are you looking to get highly detailed prints, then you might not want to go with a fused deposition type printer but instead a stereolithagraphy based printer.  Now im not saying that fused deposition printers arent able to get highly detailed prints but you are only going to get to a certain degree of detail when you are extruding material.  A stereo machine uses a laser to cure a photo curable resin at contact point.
