The tittle pretty much sums up what I'm looking for. I really want to give 3d printing a try but to be honest I'm more than a little confused. There are so many different models and types out there. I would really like to keep my options under $1000.00
Some of the things that are important to me:
1) Price needs to be less then 1000.00 shipped
2) Fully assembled printer, no building it from parts.
3) I really want to stay away from proprietary cartridges. I want to be able to use standard spools. This isn't an absolute must as I know there is one brand that uses a chipped cartridge that can be reprogrammed to think it's full while actually using a normal spool for printing.
4) Optional: ABS and PLA would be nice.
Anything else I should look for or stay away from? Those of you that have 3d printers, which models do you have and how much trouble do you have keeping everything calibrated and getting good prints?
