    The da Vinci Jr has been called the "Easy Bake Oven of 3D printers" and I'd call that a fair assessment.

    Yeah, no, the Mini Select is still my go-to $200 recommendation.

    @mark tomlinson It certainly looks like one, kinda like a poor man's C2.
    @daniel871 Not an endorsement of the DaVinci just an observation about pricing, I do agree with you on the Mini Select.

    Startt is my new go to :D lol. Mini is a good machine. I've actualy fixed a few davincis and really they arnt all that bad of a machine (other than the proprietary nonsense). They run well until they dont, at 170.00 ....its really not worth fixing for a "plug and print" machine.

    Thanks for the link waldo! May have to think about it for my nieces and nephews

    I like the enclosure so they cant get hurt like they could on the Startt. and PLA only, perfect! They need something to make them think and get off the damn tablets/tv/game systems lol

    @Geof If you use the code provided on the page, it is only $149 with Free Shipping.
    Aren't your niece's worth $150? :)

    The link is an external harddrive? Think I might get one or possible the Mini Select for my niece and nephew to play around with. They are only 2 and 3 lol starting them out early! :D

    All the Newegg Shell Shocker links are limited to one 24 hour period, they will have 5-7 items per day you can get from real cheap to not especially cheap.
