If you are a business and can spend more, then a stratasys printer might be a good idea. However for personal use I would avoid Makerbot because they have a bad track record with planned obsolescence and other unsavory business practices. A Davinci printer might be good, they tend to print well, although they have proprietary filament.

I'm not sure if they have anything cheaper.

I have had mine for about a year and have had no issues with it. I'm sure there are plenty of other good printers out there too.

All of their printers use proprietary materials which you can only get from them. My understanding is that the Cube cartridge has a chip in it which knows when the cartridge is empty. The chip cannot be reset, thus it renders the cartridge useless even if manually refilled.

Also, Cube's filament is among the most expensive I've seen for desktop printing weighing in at about $100/kg.
