I want to buy this, is it worth it? Reprap prusa is around forever, so I ought to be able to spend as much as I want upgrading this mess, right?
Or keep saving for feals?

I'm sending that link to my boss, we've been looking for an excuse to buy a basic 3D printer for a while.
Edit: on second thought, I'm not sure I want to spend 13h assembling it and then troubleshooting it forever.

Funny you mention that, I'm looking for the same reason. Boss man says no, so I'm thinking I'll buy it and print his parts for him instead of letting UPS do it. UPS store has to charge a small fortune for 3d prints, right? I like tools that come with a payment plan, always buy those tools.

I've been using one of these recently. Software/interface is all online and really quite nice. Parts come out looking pretty good. The kevlar/carbon fiber is nice, but I haven't found any application where the nylon alone wouldn't have probably been fine.
