[Nonco]

Having a look around for a 3D printer, whats the best "Value" 3D printer which produces pretty nice prints and not super expensive?

I don't think there are any "value"3D printers yet but just in case i'll throw this one in

My friend has this printer, it's horrible. Proprietary filament and software.

 

My friend has one too, can be easily hacked to use standard filament

I'd get a printr bot play or simple metal. You must know that 3d printing is a pain in the ass no matter if you have the $6500 maker bot thing, an ultimaker, or a reprap. They all have their quirks and issues. I've been toying with 3d printing for over a year now and after buying a bad kit, I finally have a mostly functional ultimaker that I assembled. If money is super tight, I've heard good things about the m3d. It's super cheap, but I've heard the construction is a little flimsy.

Also, if you aren't already, I'd learn a thing or two about 3d modeling. Thingiverse might not have exactly what you're looking for.

I have learned through painful experience that it is worth it to pay more for a good machine. For my humble opinion, I have heard a lot of good things about printr bot and maker farm (if you want a kit) but if you have the money, ultimaker is the way to go. Good luck!
