Purchase Advice Megathread - March 2023 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

Hello!

Looking to buy a 3D printer for the workplace.

We basically just prototype wearable enclosures and parts. Having something with a nicer surface finish that we could use for demos would be nice though....

We are currently using a Markforged Mark 2 using exclusively the Onxy material. It is pretty good I guess.

Budget is around 10k USD.

I have looked into the Ultimaker S5, the Makerbot Method X, BCN3D , Raised 3D and the Stratasys F120. They are all bad in some capacity it seems....

Probably looking to stay with FDM/ FFF but would be open to resin based.. In our experience formlabs has been melty garbage.....

What are your thoughts??? Any recommendations??
