[KwartzLab] 3D printers: recommendations?

[Jeff Schmidt]

Definitely look into the Ultimaker. It has the best resolution and speed of all the current-gen "hobbiest" 3D printers.

My office in Toronto (Jam3) has been getting into installations and hardware, and during our last hack-day, while I was hacksawing and drilling aluminum to create a cradle for an arduino project, it dawned on me that we need a 3D printer. The makerbot replicator with dual heads looks tantalizing. Does anyone on this list have experience with this make/model? Is there another make/model that you would recommend for an office, for ease of use, precision, and good value?
