Is it easier to work with than ABS.
On my 2X I use ABS & Hips. have to have a heated bed and be enclosed.

Believe it or not, I would recommend a PrintrBot  Simple.

why would we not believe it . they are solid machines.
A buddy of mine built on with his grandson from a kit.
The other low end popular machine is the prusa I3 but lots of room for upgrade.

Oh, and they're relatively cheap.

My grandson is wanting a printer but other than general maintenance I don't want him to have to start replacing parts out of the box like I had to. I told my grandson that their were no printers out their yet that you do not have to constantly work on.
What does the Forum recommend as a first printer.

Thanks
