I reccomend the UP! Mini 3-D Printer. It is at a good price and amazing performance, I use it myself.

If you are comfortable with assembling one yourself I recommend a MakerFarm Prusa i3v, theres an 8 inch and 10 inch model, I have one and it is fantastic I absolutely love it.

 

Here is a link to the 10 inch version: http://www.makerfarm.com/index.php/prusa-10-i3v-kit-v-slot-extrusion.html

Thanks for the advice, I was wondering about the Makerfarm i3.  What glass printed would you suggest.

the rostock max v2 kit is an amazing machine for the money and i can highly recommend it. I have successfully had it print at 60 micron layer height which is better than see me cnc say it is capable of. I am still amazed at how capable this machine is. It has a GIGANTIC build platform and even though it is big, it can do small things with incredible detail

 

here is mine and a few prints that have come off of it.

 

 

 

and this is the kind of small scale stuff you can do with it too

 Do you mean what glass to use for the bed? They say you can use any piece of glass but I use Borosilicate glass, you can find some already cut ones on ebay

 

Edit: I should also mention that you need to purchase a PSU for the Makerfarm printer.
