You know it's made by a 3D printing service (who make money by people not having their own printer) by calling a 1000$ delta and the CR-10 "budget" printers.

Voting to close as off topic. Suggestions for purchasing printers should not be asked on this site.

Perhaps it would be best to repost the question asking for ROI comparison of marketed printers, instead of which printer to purchase?

@tbm0115 I don't think so. Printer comparisons inevitably become outdated with new models coming to market.

@TomvanderZanden True. Is there at least another site we can refer OP to?
