I ordered a S2 Pro because of money, though the extra print space would be nice.

Ok thanks guys (i am presuming you are all blokes)

I originally was going to order the two colour makerbot replicator 2x but was put off by the "experimental" part of the description. As I have learned so much more from this forum it sounds like most are in this bracket but at least solidoodle is far less money... Has anyone come across someone using a cube tri colour system? Would love to see that demonstrated!

If you would want to make objects around the max size of the SD2 bed, I would recommend actually getting the SD3 instead.

I like the enclosure, and the size of the SD2 is just right for my prototypes...

I paid the extra for the SD3 for the bed size.
and haven't needed the extra yet. But it is their if needed.

I guess its just the cost, the SD3 is just making bigger items.
