Hi
Found this searching Ebay
Item # - 271719961382
What are your guys opinions on this? Looks like an average machine for a hobbyist?? Thinking about getting a second 3d Printer but unsure what printer to get? Any recommendations?
Thanks 
Maybe the engrish is getting in the way, but I don't really see how it's better than most other Prusa i3s which are cheaper.
I was just thinking about getting one of these as its a cheap machine but there is still quite abit of print space on it
I only seen the I3s go for around £440
It would help to know wher in the world you are from. And where you want a printer to ship from . Here in the USA I have seen I3 kits for $ 319 plus $15 shipping. and deltas for $399 plus shipping.
but not a good deal if you have to pay $200 for overseas shipping.

Looks like a good version of the I3. IIRC the i3 has a pretty good rep. You can get aluminum frame upgrades.
I do notice the circuit board is open so a box enclosure would be in order also if you are planning on abs a full enclosure would be a good idea.
you may also want to consider a delta/Kossel they print faster a lot of people like them and some do not.
I think a lot of the frustration with any printer is the learning curve and the trend to make the adorable and still sturdy and reliable.

I do like the look of the Kossel printer and its for around the same price as the one I put on the top post will do some digging on the one I found and the Kossel and decide
I thinks it's a bit expensive for i3 and it's in China so shipping won't be cheap. On top of that, the description is in engrish, so likely the manual will be too.
Here are alternatives:

yes,geeetech-i3 is a good one, with $299 you can get, i have bought one , recently i notice that they release a new one that is almost the same but the new one can print 5 materials. and their sales told me they will releasr another one that can print 300x300x300mm, i was a bit regret for buying so early, is their any way i can do some changes for my i3pro to make it printe larger? any good advice?

You can print the object along the diagonal. Good taste, I bought a Geeetech 3D printer too ^_^
I get my Prusa i3 tomorrow and I can post updates as to how that goes also!
