Thanks for the reply. The replicator is definitely one of the ones I was looking at. I was thinking of the 2x for the reason of doing PLA or ABS. After reading your comment I might just want to do ABS. I was worried about the smell. Do you use it inside your house?
I was also thinking of the Ultimaker and Makergear.
I find it interesting that a lot of these printers use an Arduino chip.
