So far, we have a Makerbot Replicator 2 and an XYZPrinting DaVinci Model 1.0. I went through my professional development wishing that I could know more about other brands of 3D printers. It's not a Coke vs. Pepsi world out there. There is a huge market for 3D printers and I need to learn about all of them. Challenge accepted. Jennifer Feldman will learn about the different kinds of printers and post about them in the next year.
However, I bought a book called 3DPrinting: Build Your Own 3D Printer and Print Your Own 3D Objects. By James Floyd Kelly. I bought this book becausse I wanted to learn how to build my own 3D printer. What a waste of money. The company he mentions doesn't even offer DIY kits anymore. Also, who titles their book "build your own" and then only writes one chapter about it!? It should really be called "3D Printing: Briefly Discussing a 3D Printer DIY and Mostly Discussing Software." So I didn't get my money's worth that way. I did, however, get get the names of two other 3D printing companies and a good chapter on TinkerCAD tutorials. Bah.
