I wonder how many more victims, 
OPS sorry, intriguing forward-looking guys, will venture into the realm of 3D printers by the end of the year, I reckon once it starts it will snowball, it’s such a fascinating new area it should gain huge interest, so we better have good answers ready for all the new questions.
It probably will the fastest growing section we’ve had it since this forum was setup, the long-time nerds can stick with their technical sites and answers, while we here can focus on the plain no nonsense answers without getting too technical.
The best part of owing a 3D printer is, nothing is set in stone, (Be your own boss) there are so many intriguing ways to use them and new ideas coming along all the time.
To start with there are two ways to go, you can get a complete unit like the Monoprice 3D printer that comes ready to use straight out of the box, or get one of the hundred kits that you can assemble yourself.
Either ways, be prepared for many long hours of enjoyment whichever machine you choose to start with, I’d recommend you start with a completed printer ready to go, and you can always graduate to a self-build later...
