best 3d printers out there right now?

I'll just say this, my buddy bought a Taz 4 around the same time as I bought my DaVinci. He's still dialing stuff in, and, I've been printing good parts for months.

I recently used a dremel printer. If they had better software and a dual extruder they'd blow the rest away. Their print quality out of the box is pretty amazing,

Best choice is sometimes a personal matter. If you have the 2 grand to plunk down The Ultimaker 2 is a fine machine.
there are many choices these days see this linkhttp://www.3ders.org/pricecompare/3dprinters/.
The asterid plastic scribbler line seems nice for the money , but someone here sai they are stopping production. The web site looks like they are still taking orders.

Like anything else what are you planning on using it for ? what is your budget? etc.
where do yo plan to use the machine ?  do you need want dual extruders. What size print bed do you need. What materials do you want to print ?
One that is not on your list you may want to add for consideration is the flash forge . the creator pro is about the top of there line and metal frame.  IIRC $1200-1400.
The old conundrum . You ask questions to select a printer but you do not often know what to ask until you have a printer and try do do a project.

I have to believe there is fundamental differences in different designs execution of the design and quality of the parts that go in the machine.  many of the designs have flimsy frames. the soliddoodle is anything but solid. Poorly soddered  boards give poor performance etc etc.
You pay for more than a name you pay for quality engineering , quality  components and quality manufacturing.
Also the better machines are designed for a variety of materials not just abs.

I hear you ticktock . Most of us are into this as a hobby , for fun to make a few repair parts around the house to make a chaskis for friends and family. I purchased my SD4 used and it is still stock . And I get decent prints from it. But I use pla and I think I need to add a cooling fan.  I took a gamble and purchased a  used machine as I did not want to drop a grand on a new one (that was before the price drop. ) And does it make sense to spend two grand on a Ultimaker  2 that could be obsolete in 3-5 years. That is unless it will pay for itself in those years. I want a better second machine myself but have not decided what it should be.  Do I build or buy? Kit or scratch?...  either way lots of choices.
