That’s good to know about the 5th gen replicator, I’ll avoid that whole situation. I do really want the z18, but I think it’s out of our price range for the moment. I was leaning towards the Makerbot Mini because it seems like a very stable and reliable little printer. If I need to, I can always split up prints into multiple pieces, so I’m not too worried about the build volume. Has anyone had first-hand experience with the Mini?
