I've been shopping around for 3d printers. How does this compare to the Makerbot printers?

Owned this printer since December and it has performed well. I recommend getting a small butane torch and the temperate control switch for the print head so you can control the temperate for different plastics. The torch is handy if the brass print head ever gets clogged. This printer is great. They have a newer model that you might want to consider.

From what I can tell from an Airsoft gun (spring based), a Makerbot would require a bit of post printing production to make a complete one on it's own. However 3D printing the shell would allow you customization that you could not find anywhere. If you were solely going to make airsoft guns with it I would say no but I would think once you have one you will do so much more with it that I would say yes worth the money.

I think the initial printing was sub-par, after one months use it seems to be ok. I went with this machine because I have a Brother laser as well and it fit my footprint

I used to have a DCP7060D but I returned it pretty quick and chose a DC7065DN instead. These two printers are pretty similar, but there are 3 (big) advantages going with 7065DN: 1. Network capabilities (simply plug it in your home router and voila, you have a network printer for whole your household) 2. Multi-page scan/copy capability (with 7060D you have to feed one by one the pages you want to copy) 3. Slightly faster than 7060

I agree with the others... Very good value and very reliable. I would only choose the New Makerbot if sleek appearances justified the high cost... If it was running in a storefront for an architectural firm, for example. I would have a Makerbot running up front, and an army of flash forges in the back room... Perhaps there is an analogy hidden somewhere there... But I will leave you with that.

You can't scan with this 3d printer. You can print, but you need to import the object into the makerbot software, and use that to print.

I bought one yesterday. Will post a review in a few days once I have tried everything out. So far, works fine out the box printing from a camera memory card. If price is everything to you, get an iP6600D at the closeout price.

Since I really dislike the printshop 3.0 I haven't really looked into buying another version. The old version I had (I think it was 6.0 but back in the 90's and it was GREAT but not compatible with my newer computer). 3.0 is a big waste of money as you can see from the reviews.

I was using a $300 Epson Artisan 835 and the scanner broke in the printer so the printer would not let me print just because of the broken scanner. So stupid. Anyway, so I really needed to print some full color text/graphic flyers and didn't feel like spending another $300 on a printer so I went on craigslist and found a brand new mp280 for $40 so I said why not give it a try and and once I set it up, the quality surprised me. The full color print outs were nearly as good as the Epson Artisan, about 95% identical (using the slow High Quality mode). The faster normal mode created banding in the pure black background print outs which didn't fly with me at all. For $40 I really can't complain at ALL. The negatives that I miss from my epson artisan is that it could print closer to the edge of the paper (about 0.2 inches closer), a duplexer that could print double sided automatically, my continuous ink system that I bought for it, a WiFi connection and faster print speeds. If you don't print that much and don't care about it's speed it really is a good printer, especially for the price. This thing does use up ink pretty fast especially if you are printing full color prints with a lot of pure black backgrounds. When I was using the Epson Artisan, I purchased a continuous ink system that save me literally like 800 dollars from buying regular cartridges. I was really sad I couldn't use it in the Canon but after checking the UltraGamut.com website I found out that they DO carry a Canon PIXMA MP280 continuous ink system so I have one on order and can't wait to get it!

Prolly have to buy a new kit. That isn't much help, but I doubt if Revell sells individual Kit Pieces. Sorry.I just thought of a possibility. If you can find someone who has the missing part (distributor) who also has access to one of those 3D-copiers, they could probably copy their distributer for you. That may be a bad thought...don't know...I don't have any experience or access with those printers. So I don't know how detailed the copies are, especially on something that small.

The printer is great for starters of all ages. Just make sure you use a slicer such as Cura as it will be simple enough for starters but can be good for advanced users as well. Just make sure to use only PLA from good companies such as Printrbot or hatch box.

I don't feel like I can answer your question honestly I have no way to compare them together. I can say I'm happy with the Brothers the ink is a big part don't use much and they are less expensive compared to some of the other printers and ink I have purchased.

Go with the CS6000i, for 5 bucks, the features are better. and it has the feet to do quilting with. All of the Brother Project Runway models are more expensive .... and you pay for their free advertising.

Well, I have been using mine just fine. It works really well. I didnt pay too much attention to maker though.

I bought this for my wife and here is her answer as she has both machines. The project is a good machine and is also a sewing machine where the 770 is not. The 770 is faster, much faster and will take up to a 5x7 hoop where the project will only take a 4x4 hoop. Both are good machines, it depends on what features you are wanting.

Excellent product and the price is very reasonable. Customer support has been outstanding. Great alternative to Makerbot.
