[TheForge] prototyping question

[terry l. ridder]

Hello

I have been looking at purchasing a 3d printer to use prototyping
designs and ideas. being cyber monday i thought it be a good time to
look at the various offerings and price some out.

Any experiences that others have had with using 3d printers would be
appreciated.

the only experience i have had with 3d printers was a friend's wax
printer that he used in making lost wax castings in his jewerly
business.

i am leaning toward the arduino Materia 101 kit. 
the other one I have looked at is the velleman, from belguim, printer
kit. Velleman 3D Printer Kit K8200, the downside is that the printer
uses 3mm filament while most others use 1.75mm.
