That&#039;s why I would make some simple items on my own for start, so that people can see what can be done with 3D print, to make that technology closer to them.<br />When I open my store, there may be a big line for orders, or no orders whatsoever. That&#039;s why I want to stay within €2 000 budget. If I see that people are interested, I can always buy more printers.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I would second the ultimaker 2, if it can be afforded.</p><p>If you are scaling up, a different manufactorer might have a cheaper printer you could afford 2 of, and then print maybe 2 times as fast, but there will be more upstart time invested in perfecting lesser printers. I definitively admire the ultimaker 2 company. </p><p>You may also explore if Croatia has any companies selling well-designed reprap style printers. I know I saw one or two people in Poland (different country, but one I am more familiar with) that have some good designs that would be great if they were nearby.&nbsp; But ultimaker also has a good european presence, so maybe I am overthinking.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>IHHO the ultimaker 2 would be the first place to look.&nbsp; I have seen them run. very quiet machine smooth running. will do pla or abs right out of the box.&nbsp; €1895 so you have some room for material&nbsp; about&nbsp; € 34 a roll. faster than some machines. </p><br /><p>Look at some of the objects at the youmagine web page and you will get an idea of material cost and print times for various objects. <br />Also depending on how much or your business is 3d printing you may need. Several printers to keep profits up and cost down. <br />Hope this helps you in your research and decision making. </p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>A lot of people thinks that 3D print is smooth, so I would like to get printer that makes quality, smooth prints, because that&#039;s what customers will expect</p></blockquote></div><p>You may just have&nbsp; to educate the public. FDM prints will have texture. If they really want or need smooth then you will have to charge extra for post processing . <br />Do your homework.&nbsp; you may need to coat the part with epoxy when finished or if using ABS dip in acetone or vapor smooth. <br />FDM printing will produce layer ridges. the finer the layers the finer the ridges but more layers more print time. </p><p>Tin</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;m thinking about starting my own small business as a gift shop and&nbsp; inside my shop I would like to include 3D printing service for small items.<br />I&#039;m just getting into 3D printing world, so would like to ask you what printers would you recommend me ?</p><p>Store would be in Croatia, so I would prefer printers from EU ( because of shipping, customs, taxes etc. ). A lot of people thinks that 3D print is smooth, so I would like to get printer that makes quality, smooth prints, because that&#039;s what customers will expect. Since it would be in commercial use, price of filling does matter, and my total budget would be around €2000. </p><p>Any ideas ?</p>]]></description>
