I like the old replicator clone style printers, pretty DIY for fixing and pretty cheap. I have a FlashForge Creator (2 extruder, older model).
Work has several Replicators in the Garage, and a print farm of Ultimaker's. The Ultimakers did well on Lara's Rey staff parts and the lone BB-8 part I send there, but smaller and more detailed things looked like crap. Stringy and stuff. Not sure what's wrong, I think they might keep their temps too high. I have difficulty with the idea of Boyden's for the springy potential of their feed, that may be part of what I was seeing (great on big smoothish things).
